Ok, so because the email tool doesn't include authentication I've been forced to write my own email workaround
- I have a workflow that spits out a report in HTML
- I wrote an EXE that takes in the HTML (with inline images) and processes it to be the body of the email, and finally sends the message
It looks like the run command can't accept an input string as a command for example:
SMTP_Command.exe "From@email.com" "To@email.com" "subject"
So I have my workflow outputting the appropriate string to a batch file and I'm trying to open that.
But now I'm even confused as to how I can run this batch file. I absolutely can't wrap my head around Write source, read source, etc. I just want to write this string to a command line and be done with it. No matter what I try I get some type of error that and input or output needs to be configured.
Thanks everyone!
Side note: alteryx please fix the email tool, this is a ridiculous amount of side work to be doing just because you didn't include SMTP authentication.
