Karthik_7694

Hi,

 

I have a requirement and I want to know whether it is possible and feasible in Alteryx.

 

Requirement 1: 

 

Whether Alteryx has the ability to download the file attachments from mail (outlook, gmail) automatically.

 

Requirement 2 : 

If the above requirement is not feasible then whether we can use Share Point Access for accessing files. How can we can connect alteryx and sharepoint.

 

Requirement 3: 

 

How can we connect Alteryx with SAP Data Source.

 

Any solution /reference link  would be helpful for the above use cases.

 

Thanks,

Karthik.

Hi Pedro,

 

In Alteryx under  in database connectivity I found a sap connector but in your reference link it had some of the other connectors called Extract universal for connecting to SAP database. Can you tell me what is the difference between these two connectors. For your reference I have attached the image as well.

 

Thanks,

Karthik.

The list you see on your image are connections native to Alteryx, they are out of the box connections. The Extract universal in this case was developed by a Third Party and it is available in the Gallery:

The link above covers what each Macro available in the gallery for SAP covers.

 

 

Please assign a solution to the discussion post if your questions were answered. It helps everyone supporting you.
