I would like to set up an automator workflow so that when a file is sitting in a particular folder, the file is attached and sent via Mail to a particular email address. I've come across this short article in MacWorld that seems to get me there:

The only difference is that I do not want to tell automator to send a specific file, but rather just send the file that will be sitting in a particular folder. I set this up a few weeks ago and it seemed to work like a charm so long as only one file was sitting in the folder. Now, my Hazel rule won't complete (read below) and when I run the workflow within automator the email is sent, but no attachment is placed even though a file is sitting in the specified folder.
Here is more context:
I am setting up two Hazel rules so I can move receipts into two folders on my mac. Once the receipt file goes into one of these folders, I have another Hazel rule that then activates the automator script to email the file to another person. The first rule works fine, but the second one is stalling, so I'm not sure if this is a Hazel and Automator problem or just an automator issue.
Thanks for any input you may be able to offer.
