(Newbee) Send an email via Gmail with attached a generated pdf file

Hi, I am a new maker.
I have been trying to figure this out for hours and now almost giving up…

I am trying to end an email with a PDF attachment that is generated from Google Docs.
whole scenario

It seems I am confused about what to choose for the attachment.
I chose the “file ID” but it keeps saying invalid filename in parameter ‘fileName’

Error message

THANK YOU so much for your help

Welcome to the Make community!

Try manually inserting the filename using this option.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
