Modify Powershell script to send .html attachments

I would like to modify the script so that any html files it finds at this path:
"C:\Users\User1\Desktop\Path
that start with "Desktop-123-Files.... "...
Are sent as attachments with the email.

If there are 2 or 3 html files that all start with the designation above, they should be sent as attachments.
Is this possible?

#Send Email 
$EncryptedCredential = "C:\creds\creds.txt" 
$EmailUsername = "email1@email.com" 
$EncryptedPW = Get-Content $EncryptedCredential | ConvertTo-SecureString 
$Credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PsCredential($EmailUsername, $EncryptedPW) 
$EmailFrom = "email1@email.com" 
$EmailTo = "email1@email.com"
$SMTPServer = "smtp.smtp.com" 
$SMTPPort = 123
$subject = "Files Processed"
 
$SMTPSsl = $true 
 
$param = @{ 
    SmtpServer = $SMTPServer 
    Port = $SMTPPort 
    UseSsl = $SMTPSsl      
    Credential = $Credential     
    From = $EmailFrom      
    To = $EmailTo   
    Subject = $subject
} 
 
Send-MailMessage @param

Send-mailmessage accepts an array of stings for the file attachments so you would need to pass it an array.
for example

$File1 = "C:\Users\User1\Desktop\Path\test.html"
$File2 = "C:\Users\User1\Desktop\Path\test2.html"
[array]$Attachment=$File1,$File2

So first you would search the directory for the name pattern your looking for and pass the returned values into an array that you use for attachments .
Then add the attachments parameter to your script then set attachments to the array.

$param = @{ 
    SmtpServer = $SMTPServer 
    Port = $SMTPPort 
    UseSsl = $SMTPSsl      
    Credential = $Credential     
    From = $EmailFrom      
    To = $EmailTo   
    Subject = $subject
    Attachments = $Attachment 
}
