External AppleScript won't run...

[BradleyB]

I have an embedded AppleScript that I have modified slightly after finding it online that works just fine. It attaches the .pdf file that is being processed to an email, and sends it to my bookkeeper. I have about 80 different Hazel rules though, and they will all require a script like this. In case my bookkeeper leaves me, I will be faced with having to redo all these rules. So, I decided I would try to call this AppleScript as an external .scpt file, but it doesn't work, and I am new at this, and don't really understand how to make this function....?

Here is the script:

set theAttachment1 to (POSIX path of theFile)
set subject_ to "Tax Notice Received for Review"
set the_content to "Hi Kyrie-

This Tax Item came in, and I have uploaded it to the Zoho Workdrive / Finance Team/Tax folder at this link: https://workdrive.zoho.com/home/32jsxa8 ... f2504f5ce1

1. Take a look at it to see if we need to take any action on it
2. Take whatever action is needed
3. File it appropriately in Zoho so we can find it again if necessary

Thank you

tell application "Mail"
set newMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:subject_, content:the_content & return & return}
tell newMessage

set visible to false
set sender to "brad@blahblah.com"
make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {address:"kyrie@dblahblah.com"}
make new attachment with properties {file name:theAttachment1} at after the last paragraph

If you have it as an external script, you need to use a specific handler. Check the manual as it's all described there.
