Auto Export Anaplan Model Outputs in Excel format over email

mporwal

Team: I wanted to seek expert advice and see if this is feasible to auto-export Anaplan Model outputs in Excel format to various recipients over emails with native email app such as MS Outlook.

Why do you want to export the reports and bombard Users with emails? Instead you can take advantage of Anaplan Excel Add in. Users will get the reports in excel format with one simple click in excel.

 

To answer your query that seems possible with workflow but I am not certain.

You just read my mind and I was exploring Excel Add-in as we speak. Where can I find more information / resources related to the Excel add-in. Sounds like a pretty nice feature..
