Send Email with attachment

​@DanC25 Create a new List variable (based on String typing). Then user the List: Add item action, passing in your $sfname$ variable as the item. Then use the List variable for your attachment. A List is used so you could theoretically attach multiple files to an email.

thanks, I will try it tomorrow and update you on the outcomes 

​@Aaron.Gleason 

I created a List variable with subtype String and added the $sfname$ variable as a value, but I got an error saying “at least one of the items is not of file type.”
It looks like the file type doesn’t allow me to use a string variable.
 

​@Aaron.Gleason 

The file name changes on each run and gets passed into a variable ($sfname$).
If I use a File type, how do i make sure it uses the variable and not a static file name or folder?

​@DanC25 That's what the File: Assign action does. 

​@Aaron.Gleason 

does this will work?

​@DanC25 No. 

​@Aaron.Gleason 
thanks

The file name changes on each run and is passed full path into a variable ($sfname$).

This is what I tried, and both approaches work:

#1
– Created an empty File variable (sfileattachment)
– Created an empty List variable (sattachment) with subtype File

– Used ‘File: Assign’ (Desktop file tab) with $sfname$ and ‘assign the input to’ : (sfileattachment)
– Used ‘List: Add item’ → list variable : sattachment and ‘item to be added’  : sfileattachment
– In Send Email, set Attachment → Variable → $sattachment$

#2
– Created an empty File variable (sfileattachment)
– Used ‘File: Assign’ (Desktop file tab) with $sfname$ and ‘assign the input to’  : (sfileattachment)
– In Send Email, set Attachment → List → Variable → $sfileattachment$
