My organisation does not support SMTP, so the workflow i created - saves an excel output and a draft email - in the path
How do i include the Excel output as an attachment in the draft?
Hi @EmilAlteryx01 ,
we're going to need more information. What do you mean you're outputting a draft email? Are you simply outputting as a text doc? A Word doc?
Are you creating a draft in the email tool?
What are you wanting to attach the Excel doc to?

You cannot attach a file to an Outlook draft directly from Alteryx if SMTP is not allowed.Alteryx has no native way to inject attachments into an Outlook draft without SMTP or Outlook automation.
Hey @mc
Thank you for your response.
I have created the workflow to save the 1st Leg output as an email draft (please refer to the second screenshot).
The Excel output contains a table, and since attaching the file is not an option, I am attempting to embed the table directly in the body of the email.
There are several ways you can approach this.
1. You can fix the output file path and attach the file directly to the Email tool.
2. You can output the files to a shared drive or SharePoint. In this case, include a link in the email to the shared file rather than attaching the file each time.
