I am attempting to grant Alteryx access to a shared mailbox that can be used to obtain input files and to output notifications, data, reports, or attachments from Alteryx. My company does not support SMTP connection and instead has suggested setting up OAuth connectivity. We do not have access to Alteryx Server, so I am trying to find a way to make this work through Designer. I'm able to set up the credentials, but am struggling to find a way to establish the connection without requiring a username/password and/or SMTP to connect to Outlook.
Is it possible to establish this connection through Designer, and if so, can someone point me in the right direction?
The email tool would not support that. You'd need a purpose built connection to Office 365 via API (or Python package using API).
