Automator Quick Action Help - Send file as e-mail attachment with the subject being the name of the file. Then add said file to specific folder location.

This is what I came up with:

The AppleScript is:

on run {input, parameters}
	set subjectInfo to {}
	tell application "Finder"
		repeat with oneFile in input
			copy name of oneFile to end of subjectInfo
		end repeat
	end tell
	set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {", "}
	return text items of subjectInfo as text
end run

This allows you to select more than one file, adding each to the Subject Line.

The problem with it is it will move the files before sending, so if you cancel the email, the files are already moved.

I couldn't make the move after because the new Mail message Action doesn't pass the input back out. The move Action passes the files through the Action so they can be processed further along.

If you don't enter a message, the file names get put into the message.

I set it to only accept PDFs so that acts as a filter for you picking something that is not a PDF. You could just use "files and folders," but that would allow you to possibly process unintended files.

I would suppose you could just add another New Mail Message after the first one, address it as needed, and put the "Filename" variable wherever you need it, Subject or Body.

If you need to actually forward the Sent message from previous, I don't think there would be a way to do that in automator.

Someone with better AppleScript skills than me might be able to go fetch the sent message that matches the subject and tell Mail to forward that, but I don't know how.

This is fantastic. The only hiccup I'm getting is that the file seems to only be text (it's filename) in the body of the email rather than a PDF attachment.

I don't need it to move location, however I've tried it with and without moving the document. I can't get either to work!

It seems to have worked for smh9321, so I'm just wondering if you have any idea what I'm doing wrong..

Thanks!

Did you leave it set to accept text as input instead of files and folders?

I have indeed. This is how it looks currently. Thank you for the help in advance!

I don’t know unless the AppleScript action is not passing the files on. I don’t know why it would work with the move Finder items but not without it.
