Hi,

I am following the academy tutorial. I am getting an error after following the same steps.
I have selected create a variable instead of save for later shown in the video.

the error message which is showing is :
System.ArgumentException: File or Folder “C:\Users\vedamsh\Documents\UiPath\GettingToKnowStudioX\Energetic Raindrop-Mist” does not exists.

Hi @Vedamsh_Vanja
Welcome to UiPath community
You should pass the file path with filename.I think your path is incomplete without filename to attach with mail.check your path

C:\Users\vedamsh\Documents\UiPath\GettingToKnowStudioX\Energetic Raindrop-Mist

@Vedamsh_Vanja

According to exception this is the path that is being used C:\Users\vedamsh\Documents\UiPath\GettingToKnowStudioX\Energetic Raindrop-Mist

ideally for attachment there should be a filepath with extension as well

cheers
