Hi All,

 

I am sending email through Alteryx where attachment name contains characters like ö,ü. 

Input:

Path("C:\Temp\KöDüss.pdf")

I am adding this pdf as attachment.

 

Emails are sent out but special characters are skipped in filename.

Below is the file I am receiving as an attachment.

have you checked what the input string of the file is?

I assume that you create this report in Alteryx and want to send it out.

 

it should be V_W_String

I just specify the path in formula tool and data type is v_w string.  This report is not created using alteryx.
