Populating an Email without using the Email tool

[bailiesmithh]

Trying to populate an email in alteryx without using the email tool (since my company's security functions doesn't allow it) and looking for some help with the script. 

In the body of the email I also want to include a screenshot from an excel. I believe there is some sort of Print screen code that might help me out.

Any help is appreciated!

So your company doesn't allow the Email tool within Alteryx (menaing it's turned off?) but they would allow you to do so via a script?

Or are you more talking along the lines of creating a draft email and saving it to a folder to be sent out via your actual email software?  If so, then there a few threads around this.  Here's one from the Ideas board with another link inside.  I believe someone shared a workflow at one point to help do this but not certain.

@bailiesmithh -- have you tried running from server?  At my company, I cant not generate emails in designer.  I get the awesome "weird server reply" error.  (My personal favorite in the category of "best error messaging") 😀  However, I am able to send emails from a workflow that is saved out on the server.
