You may have missed the "recent files" workflow. After you scan your
document, when you save it, it's added to the recent files list. When
you then want to add it as an attachment inside your mail, your email
client opens the file chooser[1]. On the left panel, select "Recent",
and the last document you saved should appear on top of the list in
the right panel.

Hope this helps.
