How to loop thorugh emails and import attachments with Alteryx

MARIV

Hello!

 

So I would like to loop through a folder in my Outlook, and import each of the CSV-files attached to the emails. I will then work with the data within the csv files. 

 

I have searched and found a few solutions, where the Outlook Tool Install definetly looks promising, but it does not seem to work in the newest version of Alteryx - the tool is simply not added after install. Other places they suggest letting Outlook save the attachments at a given location when they are received, wherefrom Alteryx can retrieve them. 

 

But is it really true that there are no other options? Is it really not possible "natively" to handle mails from Outlook in Alteryx? 

 

If someone has any advice I would love to hear it. 

 

Thank you 🙂 

 

Maria
