Email tool

I have a workflow and am using a union tool to combine a text field and a table, and the layout tool to put together. When the workflow runs it is sending 2 separate emails, 1 with the text string and the other with the table. Stumped....any ideas how to fix so only 1 email is sent?

Hi @Ray_Whyte,

 

I have a feeling you might need to use the layout tool prior to the e-mail tool?

 

You can check how to use it in the Alteryx examples that are build it:

The email tool will send one email for EACH record that flows into it.  So you have to group your table/text into one field.  I'm assuming by text you mean the report text tool.  Union them to a Summarize tool and there's an aggregation for report tools - you can group them horizontally or vertically.  That will push them into one record and just one email will be produced then.

Hi @Ray_Whyte 

 

You can configure the report text tool to attach to the table like below. This will produce a single cell.
