Can we zip files before sending them as email?

For example:

| outputcsv Splunk.csv | zip splunk.csv  | sendmail to [email protected]

You could create a script that does this outside of the web interface via CLI, but there is no native compression mechanism command to use in a query.

Or you could create a custom command to facilitate, but there are licensing issues to contend with.
