Email with Dynamic (Daily Updating) Attachment

[insomned]

Hello, 

I would need to send email containing the attachment that changes every day (the name and the content). How could I achieve this?

Thanks!

You'd need some way to feed that path into your Alteryx workflow, and then you can use that field name in your Email tool!

 Yes, but as I understand only direct paths (with file names already) are accepted here. I tried using wildcards and it doesn't help.

Hi @insomned , you can use a file name in order to point the Email tool to the correct attachment. The file name can come from a field in your data, meaning it can be generated dynamically:

In this example, I automatically generate a filename containing todays date. This is then used in the 'Attachments' section of the email tool. Each time this workflow runs, it will send an email containing the file with todays date in the name.

That's correct - the file path needs to be there to know which ones to pull through. Are they available via maybe a Directory tool?
