Hi,

 

Is it possible to create an output message and include a field name from within the workflow?

 

Thanks

Hi @ArnaldoSandoval  , i literally have a file name and trying to export it into the onsuccess part of a server run. This file name is not static and will change weekly, so it cannot be hardcoded.

 Hi @wonka1234 

 

  • The screenshot below is the workflow writing the name of the file to the workflow messages log.

  • The same screenshot shows the file name as you can see.
  • The screen shot below is where we configure the workflow event, notice the check box Enable Events is ticked, and there is an event: After Run: Email to xxxx (I obscured my email as it is not important for your solution)

  • Now, the email template contains several predefined parameters, it has two main sections, the top-one where you configure the mail server (Your admin must assist you filling this info) the bottom-one is the email context itself, all those values were defaulted by alteryx

  • There is not need to change them, but feel free to do it, once you understand this configuration better.
  • The final screen shot is the email I received.

Attached is the workflow I used without my mail server credentials.

 

Hope this helps,
