Appian Community and Appian Academy are being upgraded. As a part of the upgrade, Appian Community is currently in read-only mode, and user registration is disabled until August 3. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but a more secure, stable, and performant Community experience is coming soon!
The new Appian Community launches August 3, followed by Appian Academy on August 7. During the migration, Appian Community Edition, Appian Academy, Documentation, Certifications, Instructor-led Customer Training, Partner Sales Training & Accreditation, and Forum (for Appian Partners and Customers only) will remain available.
I have created a report from an Interface. I want to use that report as the Email Body. Is this possible?
Discussion posts and replies are publicly visible
In case you mean visual charts, Appian does not support this OOTB. What is your use case? Why not just allow the users to visit the reports in the system?
These are notifications of updates to records that the users are involved with.
The report does not contain any charts or graphs at this time.
Is it possible to save a report/interface as an HTML template?
As I already said, Appian does not support this OOTB. But you can create fancy emails using HTML templates.
Thanks from the prompt replies Stefan.
Is it possible to create an HTML templates within Appian? Or do we need to go to an external service to host the web-graphics used in the custom HTML template?
Thanks
Appian cannot host any graphics referenced in an email. The rendering of email in various email clients is very tricky. You can try to add the images as attachments and reference them in the email.
But again, why? A link to an Appian dashboard provides more detail and allows the user to act on the data.
The business ask in this case was an attractive email with all the pertinent data/updates in the email body.
I understand. This is how business people think. I would try to show them the advantage of an Appian dashboard.
Copy. Thank you for the clarification Stefan.
