[Gmurugan]

Hi Team,

I am facing issue on email tool attachment. I trying to get the format data as an attachment. in attachment section, I am trying to use option "file name from Field Value". But not sure where the file is saving ? and how to get the format data. Below is screen short for my workflow configuration.  Where I missing ?

Right now it looks like the Output Data tool is disabled, meaning it wouldn't write out anywhere currently! Make sure it's writing out to the file - you can re-enable it in the Runtime settings.

You also might consider putting a Block Until Done tool coming out of the Sort tool - the Output Data tool would connect to the 1 anchor while the rest would connect to the 2 or 3 anchor. This will ensure the data writes out before the email sends.

Hi @Gmurugan 

Its hard to know all possible problems just by the images, but 

1-Add a block until done after the sort tool.

2-See if the 'Disable all tools that write output' option is check. If it is, uncheck it.

3-The extension of your file (just by looking at your canvas screenshot) is .csv,  but your email tool seems to be looking for a .xlsx. file. The filepath/filename must match.

Please don't consider the disabled .csv. I used that for different purpose. So even for this option "file name from field value " I should save file in my local ?Path should be change when i am publishing into server ?

There is (or should) a network folder that the Alteryx Server machine and you have access to. You must save the file there. If you dont know about it, your Alteryx Server ADM probably can help.
