I'm trying to use the following azure devop task in a release pipeline and for some reason it won't find the attachment on the remote machine even tho it's there. How do I send an email in Azure Devops with a file on the remote machine as an attachment? Thank you.

Do you use a self-hosted build agent? Is the attachment on your self-hosted build agent machine? How did you define the attachment? - Cece Dong - MSFT
Yes it is on a deployment group. - OKolokolo
I'm wondering if I'm using the wrong azure devop task - OKolokolo
Did you try my suggestion, by publishing the attachment and specify the Attachment field as $(build.artifactstagingdirectory)\*.zip? This is a 3rd party extension, you may also post the question on the Q&A tab of the extension: marketplace.visualstudio.com/…. - Cece Dong - MSFT

The attachment should be located in the machine where the build agent can access. You could publish the attachment in a build pipeline, and then add it as attachment in the release pipeline, for example, you could publish the attachment file to $(build.artifactstagingdirectory), and then specify the Attachment field as $(build.artifactstagingdirectory)\*.zip
