Alteryx Gallery - email output works in Designer, but not Gallery

[Kpratt]

I have a workflow that creates an excel document then sends it as an email attachment.

It works perfectly in Designer, but not when I schedule it in Gallery.  Looking at the workflow output in Gallery, the excel document was created correctly.  

However, the email attachment arrives as a corrupt file.  Here is a snapshot of a sample file.

Hi @Kpratt ,

It is possible tha your Alteryx gallery is in safe mode configuration.

You need to ask your gallery admin if that is the case.

After searching the web for 2 days, I came across the answer.  The body of the text wasn't working when hard coded.  I had to insert the Report Text tool and enter my body text there.  In the email attachment, I then selected "Use Field" from the Report Tool rather than hard coding in the text.  I'm not sure why this changed.  My workflow worked fine for weeks prior to this.
