@dutta.marina,

Instead of string variable, convert it to IResource. Pass below expression in Attachments

New FileSystemLocalItem("str_outFileName")

@dutta.marina,

Use this.

New List(Of IResource) From {LocalResource.FromPath(str_outFileName)}

The image shows a UI form for sending an SMTP email, with fields for recipient, subject, body, and attachments, where "demo@abc.com" is specified as the recipient and a list of local resources as attachments. (Captioned by AI)

@dutta.marina,

Check the datatype of str_outFileName. Looks like it’s datatype isn’t string. Change it to string and this should work.

@dutta.marina,

You are passing this as collection item. Assign this way.
