Hello, I spent a good amount of time trying to understand why we couldn't you the Azure tokens linked to an app.

This is the response I had from Alteryx tech support.

'The Email Tool in Alteryx Designer is an SMTP-based sender only. Even in the latest Designer 2025.x releases, it supports:

* SMTP server and port
* TLS / SSL
* SMTP authentication using:* username and password
* app passwords
* SMTP relay credentials

* Authentication managed through DCM (Data Connection Manager)

However, it does not currently support:

* SASL XOAUTH2
* OAuth access token injection
* refresh token lifecycle handling
* Microsoft or Google OAuth flows directly within the Email Tool'

Essentially, the email tool is now quite limited use scope since Microsoft are adding more restrictions to using SMTP workflows.

I am now looking at using Python Script to call the credentials and token, and pass the rendered HTML email into the emails, but isn't ideal, as it doesn't use Alteryx's DCM for secure secret, key and token storage.😕
