Email Tool Enhancement (Reporting Palette)

[Inactive User]

It would be good if the Email Tool could be enhanced so that it can send HTML e-mails, by that I mean the body of the e-mail is HTML based on a field in the workflow that contains a string of HTML. 

Currently we are having to use batch files with command line e-mail clients to send e-mail with HTML generated within Alteryx workflows.

Has anyone found that this solution is no longer working in 2020.1.5?

Any update on this? Is it not working in Designer and Server?

Alteryx support provided a workaround that worked for me. Seems like the Email tool in v2020 suffered some unintended changes that broke this functionality. The solution is to add a Layout tool after the Report Text tool, and use the output of Layout in the Email tool.

I tried this solution and it didn't work for me.  I'm not sure what I am doing incorrectly.

Make sure to turn "Validate PCXML" off on the Report Text tool, and use the Layout output on the email tool.

Thank you, that worked!!!

Pretty sweet, but I had my superstar guy write an integration with SendGrid to allow me to get these emails out the door.

@brianscott any chance you could share the sendgrid integration as a macro?
