Adding previous month to email Subject line

[rzinck]

Hi All,

I added Event to have an email sent when my WF is done running.  I'm trying to have the previous month of run date added to the subject line, but nothing seems to be working.  I added a 'Month' column using Formula tool and then tried to have the Subject Line use that, but that doesn't seem to work either.  When I receive the email, the subject line just reads exactly as what is typed in on the Subject: box in Edit Event.  Any ideas?

Check out the solution to this post: Solved: Adding fields to Event E-mails - Alteryx Community

You can only include certain pre-defined variables in Events (Solved: Event Variables/Parameter - Alteryx Community). Use the Email Tool in Reporting for more control over what is sent or use the message tool to include messages in the output log, which can be included in the body of the Event email. 

Hope this helps and Happy Solving!
