Hi Team,

 

I want to send an auto trigger email after Alteryx runs with an attachment. I did that. But the problem is, in the email subject the date should change dynamically to the today's date. How to do that. Any suggestions.

 

Thanks.

Hi @riyachawla, It is working but I don't want additional details. I need only Todays' date.

@munipavankumar I think @aatalai means use the actual Email tool from the Reporting palette - this lets you take the subject from a field in the data so you can populate it with the date. You can also add attachments and such.

I have tried using Email Tool and it was generating multiple emails based on my records and email should trigger when there is no errors. I think Email Twill trigger email even it has errors.

Hi @binuacs, Thanks for your reply. I have used Email Tool. But, It is sending even it has errors. Is it possible to send after run without errors using Email Tool.

@munipavankumar When you say error , is it a workflow failure or logical error but it will not affect the successful completion of the workflow? Can you give more information on this?
