Time delay for Email Tool

Hi All,

 

I am going to send mass emails, to prevent being treated as a spam email address, are there any ways to pause the email by time control. 

 

I have tried using Throttle and Wait a second, but all don't work.

 

Thank you.

Hi @SammyChu 

 

Have a look at this thread here, which has at least two options that may work for you. While this is for sending groups of emails the theory should still apply for you - https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Desktop-Discussions/Sending-emails-with-pauses-slo...

I think you can build a batch macro and include Throttle tool in there so that each batch of emails will be delayed by x number of seconds/minutes as per your configuration. Have you tried the macro approach? Applying throttle directly onto the workflow will just make the workflow slower, it still executes as a whole.

Thank you all of you for inspiration.

I have finally used iteration macro and time delay python.
