        contentType: 'application/json',
        url: urlTemplate,
        type: "POST",
        data: JSON.stringify(mail),

this shows me error like as below snap

Answer 1

The "SP.Utilities.EmailProperties" object has only the following available properties:

From, To, CC, BCC, Subject, Body

But unfortunately , It does not have a property for Attachments, check more at SP.Utilities.EmailProperties object (sp.js)

In this case, you need to try to use workflow / Object Model via c# .

Regarding your Quest update

this issue is related to To field where The recipient is limited to a valid SharePoint user for security reasons.

Answer 2

SharePoint whole purpose is to manage content and eventually remove the need to float documents over emails.

Hence I would recommend upload the document into a library and sent the link over email.
