Hello, I am needing some help quickly. I am trying to create a FME Flow Automation that passes 3 attributes to the email action. The attributes are all created inside the workbench using the FME Flow Automation Writer. Each one of the attributes passes the From, To and CC data for the email action. When I run the automation, nothing comes out and the log file says the below message. I honestly have no idea why this is not working. I have looked up many resources on this site to get this to work, but i keep getting the same message. I know there is a value, why is it not working.

Normally you’d have only one single Automation output feature type in your workspace, with all the attributes To, From and as attributes on a single feature.

As it is now, you’re outputting three different features, which confuses the Emailer, as it is now called once with only the To-value, then again with only the From-value, etc.
