Hi
may i know what is the value of MailDirectory
kindly check once by sending the same file in mail manually and check whether we are getting the same error

Hi @vishal.kp

That might work, have you got any suggestions for ziping a single file, cant see any activities which are suitable.

you have custom activities . Go to manage packages and search for zipping activities.
I suggest balareva.externals.activities by @balupad14

Hi @ChrisPals
once you export give a delay of 5 to 10 seconds because i faced this issue. it got resolved using the delay activity.
reason:
you are attaching the file before it gets extracted properly

hope that helps
