Email Event

[iwilliams]

Hello Alteryx Community,

We are looking for a way to prevent the sending of emails from incorrect addresses as a precaution. We use email event notifications for a lot of our workflows and we noticed that you can place anything into the “From” section of the email and the email will be sent from that address without any issues. We typically use addresses that indicate which server the workflow is being run in, but of course, mistakes and malpractice can happen. Is there a way to fix the “From” address or only allow the email to send if it’s the correct/specified address?

Hi @iwilliams - You can parse workflows' xml and either flag or automatically replace incorrect Email addresses. Here is how it looks inside xml:
