Email connections

[Zoe_cross16]

Hi,

I was wondering if there was any way alteryx could connect to your emails in outlook and automatically pick up a file scheduled to be sent to me as an attachment once a week?

Thank you!

Hi @Zoe_cross16 

It looks like you can using the Outlook 365 Input tool - https://help.alteryx.com/current/en/designer/tools/connectors/outlook-365-input-tool.html#outlook-36...

Additionally this KB article may be useful to provide a different approach, using rules within Outlook to download the attachment to a folder which Alteryx can then pull from - https://knowledge.alteryx.com/index/s/article/Reading-Outlook-Emails-and-Email-attachments-with-Alte...
