Hello @praneshsapmm 

One way I would recommend solving for this is by generating a temp file within Alteryx (using a render tool) and attaching that file to the email you are looking to send.

See how you would configure the render / email tools below (you would just be creating .xlsx files instead of PDF):

Hi @praneshsapmm 

 

I believe this workflow can solve your problem.

1) I am using python to create a folder with the email name (adapted from here: Create directory if not exists and save the ouput - Alteryx Community)

2)I am saving each Reminder.xlsx inside his own folder

3)Now that i have the individual filepaths and they are different but with the same filename, i can send the email.
