Embedding an email confirmation within the workflow

Question

Hi All

Is there a way I can embed an email macro that only allows the workflow to be run if they input information such as email address and other information which is then sent to a specific email box.

I am looking at creating a workflow that is downloaded across the whole business, and I want to measure who is running the workflow. I have considered this approach but I am unsure how to design it in Alteryx.

Is there a way I can do this in Alteryx?

Thanks

Hi @FECL3

You can always configure event notification email. So that you get an email whenever your workflow is run. Like below when you click on add select send email. Its giving user info (something like user name)

Hope this helps 🙂

@FECL3 ,

You can build this as an analytics app which will allow you to have a pop-up window prompting the user to input the information you mentioned.

You can do this by using the interface tools.

@cplewis90 wrote a good intro to these apps and you can read them HERE.

Hi @FECL3

I guess i misread your question do already have block that is triggering email or you need an email block just for notifying you.
