OpenApiOperationParameterTypeConversionFailed

Hi, I am trying to make a list that creates new items when the item in the list is equal to today, I am trying to add the action so that the attachments in the list are also added to the new item and sent by mail but I got this error.
Can you help me by giving me a step by step solution or something, thank you very much.

The error indicates that you are trying to evaluate a number in your condition but you've passed a filename.

It's also inefficient to loop through every item returned from the Get Items action and run a condition check on every item. Instead, you should use the Filter Query in the Get Items action to filter out the items by your criteria. Depending on what column(s) you are filtering on, you may need to use a Filter Array action.
