When I run an embedded Applescript I get the following error:
2022-08-02 23:12:02.856 hazelworker[57163] Invoice-36323-R (for testing Hazel).pdf: Rule Receipt expenses matched.

The applescript is:
set theAttachment to (POSIX path of theFile)
set theSubject to "LayerStack invoice to Expensify"
set theContent to "This is an automated email using Hazel."
set theAddress to "a@aol.com"

display dialog "theAttachment"

tell application "Mail"

activate

set newMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:theSubject, content:theContent & return & return}

tell newMessage
set visible to false
set sender to "a@mac.com"
make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {address:theAddress}
make new attachment with properties {file name:theAttachment} at after the last paragraph
send -- use save to draft or send to send
end tell

end tell


Any help appreciated to understand where to look and how to resolve.

Can you post the script?

Sorry I realised I made a silly mistake when trying to debug, so I reposted with what I was originally trying to do and the error with this original.

I think you need to do a 'tell application "System Events"' around the display dialog line as you need a process that can go GUI stuff to do that for you.

I didn't think that was the problem. Anyway, I did as suggested, but I still have the same problem. I think it has to with AppleScript and how it orchestrates with Mac OS.

Have you tried the script outside of Hazel?
