Hi @SahilArora3139 

 

I suspect its because you're not referencing the full path as to the location of the file you want to attach so Alteryx won't know where to look for the file, see my example below:

 

Capture.PNG

 

When you specify the file select the folder icon to the right of the box that pops up, then navigate to the folder and select the file that way

I am still facing the issue

error is stating:  make sure the file is writable and not open for writing in another application.

though i am getting the email now but file is not opening with data.

output file is showing attached data

Hi @SahilArora3139 

 

Does any other part of your process write to that file? Anywhere/anyone else who is likely to have it open?

Hi @SahilArora3139 

 

Try attaching a different file and see if that works, will pin point if its the file itself or a wider issue
