Outlook Email Generation

I have a question: Is there any way or workaround to generate the body of an Outlook email in Alteryx? I can do it in Excel VBA so that the body of the email generates an Outlook "send" email popup, but I can't find a way in Alteryx Designer.

I appreciate it if you could share ideas on how this will possibly be done. In the context of the email, I need to use the summarized data I calculated in Alteryx as well.

@jkbautista12,

 

Have you checked the e-mail tool?

I did, but I think it is automatically sent to the recipient. I just want to have a pop-up Outlook email so I can amend the details of it, and have it reflect the summarized data from Alteryx at the same time.

I think you could probably do this with the run command tool if you can work out the coding for opening outlook etc.

 

Or there is this thread that may help: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Desktop-Discussions/Creating-an-Outlook-Thunderbir...
