Hi there @danielaecheverric,

Welcome to the Community! 🎉

I looked at the screenshot, and it seems like the issue here is the link used in the “Attachments” field. For you to be able to send a file or an attachment, you need the direct download URL of the file itself.

The direct download URL should look like this: https://drive.google.com/u/0/uc?id={FILE ID HERE}&export=download

For context, the file ID is located in the link. Like so:

Hopefully, this helps! 😊
