Using file to select email addresses after layout tool

MattR79

I have been asked to build a workflow to analyze data and then send out emails to 10+ separate distribution lists depending on whether that group has any issues that they need to look at.  Since the team composition changes rather frequently I have also been asked to use a separate file that the requesting team will maintain to dynamically select the email addresses based on a field in the distribution list file.  Easy enough when the output is going out as an Excel, however the team wants their emails formatted and set up in a way that requires use of several reporting tools.  Is there a way to tack on the email distribution after the final layout tool, or if not how should I format the layout tool in order to add the correct email distribution?  I will filter the email distribution lists prior to joining them to the final output so I'm just looking for how to add the email addresses in such a way that Alteryx can pick them up.  I have included an image of the output as an example of what is getting sent to the individual teams.

you can use an append fields tool to append your reporting document to your email list.

That worked perfectly!  Thank you.  Very simple solution to a problem that was confounding me for quite a while.
