Hi @kumaasho 

 

You may want to leverage the "File name from field value" option within the email tool. If you have a directory tool that pulls the list of files, then leverage some filtering logic to isolate the latest file in the folder by sorting and then using a sample tool to pull the first record, it will always pass through the latest file. Then if your email tool is set up to pull the path from that field, you will be all set.
