Email a compressed file using block until done ERROR

I am compressing a folder output earlier in the workflow and then passing the compressed folder's location to the email. But it returns an error with "file specified not found". Not sure why this is happening, the block until done tools seem to configured right too, the compressed folder gets created too. Any ideas?

Hi @vdix  is there a particular reason for the second block until done tool? as this may causing the error and processing the command prompt last rather than before the email tool is sending out the attached file

Edit: Thought it had worked :( But it still errors out

would it be worth setting up the email send as a workflow event so after the workflow has run? or are the recepeients dynamic?

Tried entering the path Alteryx couldn't find in windows explorer and realized that alteryx also needed the extension of .zip added to the end of the file path. Added it and voila! Thank you.
