How to send .xlsx of size more than 10 MB through email using Email tool

[Mohd-Siddiqui1]

Hi there,

My Alteryx workflow is producing the .xlsx file as an output. I need to send the output excel file, but as the size of excel file is more than 10 MB, the email tool is giving the error that it cannot send files of size more than 10 MB.

Is there any way to send files of size greater than 10 MB? Do we have any there tool apart from Email tool which can help?

Does compressing the file helps? if yes, then how can we compress the file in Alteryx?

hey @Mohd-Siddiqui1 

There are a few ways around this. This thread may be of some use- documenting how to prompt emails to be sent via command line with Alteryx:

There are also some notes on compressing a file prior to sending here:

However - i believe XLSX is already compressed, so i'm not sure how much smaller you could get it.

Hope this helps,

Does it have to be emailed? Can you save to a different location, a share drive or maybe dropbox or something?

Hi @Watermark 

It has to be emailed only.
