How to subscribe to an email for an Alteryx App in the gallery?

[anil_m]

I have an alteryx app in the gallery, and this app produces a report. I want users to subscribe to this app and get report in email. so that they can receive the output of the workflow by weekly or monthly. Is there any subscription services available in gallery to achieve this?

@anil_m,

You could ask them their email address in a "subscribe" app and either subscribe or unsubscribe as another question.  You could then save this subscription information to a yxdb file and use that data to drive your "real" app to use the data for distribution.

Cheers,

I think your idea is sending an mail based on user input email id,  here we need to maintain all the users who want subscribe.  Since users need to get an automated email for every week,  do we need to maintain a common .yxdb file for all users ? and we need to attach workflow to scheduler that needs to be run once and send the report across all subscription list.
