Email Tool Error

Deano478

Hi all,

 

I have used a directory tool to read in a list of excel files that I need to send out via the email tool. I have configured the email tool in the attachments section to use the FileName column as the attachments. However when I run the workflow the email tool it gives me the following error:

 

Error: Email (19): Record#1: Can't read file C:\Program Files\Alteryx\bin\Analysis_Test.xlsx: The system cannot find the file specified. (2)

 

Anyone have any advice or ideas on how to overcome this?

 

Cheers in advance for taking the time look

Yes, you need to reference that column in the attachments section of the email tool!

Ahhh okay I think I know what you mean so should I reference the file path first followed by the filename in the attachments section?

Yes - the Directory tool should give you the FullPath you are looking for that gives you the path plus the file name altogether
