Outlook 365 - Output?!

[Hamder83]

Hi 

im looking for a solution to send emails from alteryx, using moden auth - since microsoft is disabeling basic auth.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/clients-and-mobile-in-exchange-online/deprecation-of-basi...

I can find Outlook 365 INPUT with modern auth, but no output. Have I missed something? 


Kind regards,

hi @gabrielvilella 

This is only an input tool right?

[gabrielvilella]

No, it's both input and output.

Hi @gabrielvilella  

I'm sorry but I don't understand to acheive that.

I've installed the package, and I only have outlook 365 INPUT.

if I login with that, i have no option to send emails using that connector?

Would you mind showing me?

Hi @Hamder83 

You are correct, at the moment there is only a Connector available to Input from Outlook and not to Output. Unless somebody has built something outside of Alteryx, but I have not seen this yet.

What I would recommend at this stage is to put in the idea to our Product Ideas page - https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Ideas/idb-p/product-ideas

Kind regards,

Will

5 months ago by @VojtechT . I just found that afterwards.

But still not connector anywhere?

Three years later and counting, no output tool yet.

The email tool was updated in 2022.3 to use OAuth2.0, so there is no Output Tool required.

Thank you KGT, but I must be missing something, I checked the link you provided and I tried to follow the "OAuth Authentication" for the Email tool, but I can do these two steps, "Select the Use Data Connection Manager (DCM) check box.", and "Select Set Up a Connection" but when it comes to "Select + Connect Credential after you create an email connection." I am just stuck and getting nuts. as if I tried to create an email connection, I am asked for SMTP Server, port and Encryption, which is not something we do with Office365. Also if I filled any name in the SMTP server to get to the next step, I can see the "+ Connect Credential" to click, but after clicking it, the next thing in the connection, the "Authentication Method" has no option for Azure OAuth or Azure OAuth (Alteryx Application), which is the step 4. what am I doing wrong?
