Hello community,
I am stuck with an issue which is something like this:

I wanted to run a workflow from Monday to Friday and followed by next week Monday I want the workflow to send out emails. Is anyone can help me on this?

 

THANKS IN ADVANCE

Hello @TabsheerMohamed 

 

Would you please elaborate on what you need help with?

 

Alteryx - using Email tool - can help you send emails.

Alteryx Server - if you have it - can help you schedule this workflow so it runs according to your timeline.

 

Cheers!

I have a workflow which already has the email tool on it, and I am able to run the schedules every day, but I wanted to do something like the workflow can run every day and the email should send out only on every Monday.

 

Thank you so much for your response.

How about a filter before your email tool that will only allow records through on Mondays?

DateTimeFormat(DateTimeToday(),"%a")="Mon"

Thank you so much, I will try this one!

Hi @TabsheerMohamed 

 

I use the config like this here, maybe showing the image can help. If its monday, then we have a row passing through the filter and the append tool works, the email is then sent. If it is not monday, the append tool do not let rows go to the email tool, so there is no email.

Hi, 

 

I am also trying to schedule an email that will be sent after every quarter ends. Like if the quarter ends on March 31 then email will be sent on April 1. Is that possible?
