Can Alteryx send emails to user IDs and not necessarily email addresses?

[ivoiculescu2020]

Hello everyone,

I contact you because I would like to ask your assistance with 2 issues:

- I need to configure a workflow to run automatically twice a month. May I kindly ask you how to set it up? When this workflow runs, a report will be generated and sent out to a number of users.

- There is a massive amount of users, I don't have their email addresses, only their user IDs and full names. Is it possible to go around that? Is it possible to somehow make Alteryx connect to the company network and "associate" the user ID with the email and send them out the report?

Many thanks in advance for your assistance!

Kind regards,

Hi @ivoiculescu2020 

I believe the answers to both questions are related to Alteryx Gallery (server):

• On the Gallery server, you can create a schedule, either a custom schedule or two separate schedules, to automate the execution of your workflow.

• If you need to send emails to Alteryx Gallery users, you can request a simple macro from your server admin available on the Gallery, which extracts Gallery users' names, surnames, and email addresses. However, if you need to send emails to recipients who are not Alteryx users, you may need access to a database containing that information or a webpage with organizational structure details. In that case, you can request access to that database from the IT department or develop a connector (using the Download tool) to extract this data from the internal web portal.
