Saving draft emails by Alteryx

Question

Hello,

I am struggling with the simplest task I could imagine when it comes to Email tool. I'd like to save generated emails (including reports with tables etc, also some attachments) on shared drive.

Any Alteryx solution?

P.S. I know the python solution, but I am asking where can I do it in Alteryx.

Thank for the idea, but I am looking for a pure saving.

As far as i know, you will not be able to do exactly that without some coding.

What i do here as a workaround is, i have a generic mailbox that is always involved or as the "From:"  or as the "Cc:", and we configured this outlook generic mailbox to save the .pst backup periodically to a shared folder. Maybe you can use this as workaround.

Hello @gregx ,

If you are creating the email in Alteryx, you may also have the output to a file or db.

In parallel or below the email output you could add a render tool or an output tool, depending on the type of output you are sending.
