+10Hello,
I have automation which triggers a workbench and has to send result file on email in the end.
The resulted excel file has dynamic name with @DateTimeNow parameter.
How to set that automation takes the correct file? If I add fixed name, it works fine but I don’t know how to make it for dynamic name. Could anyone help, please?

Do you send the email using an Emailer transformer in the workspace? Then use a FeatureWriter to write the file and initiate the Emailer, and use the filename from the summary feature.

Thank you! I have adjusted my process using Emailer and set it to attach output _dataset and it works as expected.
You can use the Automation writer to send the filename from your workspace back to the automation:

Hi, sorry, how from automation side find attributes from automation writer? I don’t see anything new using automation writer comparing with regular writer.
