Sending Email flow for formatted report created in workflow using render

ShantanuDagar

Hey all...

 

I might need to create an email-sending step in the already existing workflow which generates a report following some data checks.

 

The report has specific formatting (colors etc.) created using the table tool and the output is generated using render.

 

Can the email tool be integrated into this workflow somehow (as render doesn't have any output anchor)

 

AND, More so if we add an email tool directly after the table, we will be getting only non-formatted reports (as evident from the results window)

You can use report snippets with the e-mail tool. This would include Tables. You can build a message with report text if you need to prior to the e-mail tool.

Hi @ShantanuDagar 

 

You can utilize the email tool at any time within a workflow. If the workflow generates a report/output, you can attach this output to the email tool as an attachment. 

 

You can view this article to see how the email tool works.
