Schedule an email in Outlook 2013 to send at the beginning of every week

Question

I want to send out an updated excel sheet - that I update on Friday to send - at the beginning of the week (the following Monday).

I'm not sure how I can:

1. Schedule in Outlook to have a recurring email be sent out on Monday at 9 AM

2. Is there a way for my outlook to grab my updated excel from some specified folder on my computer and send it out?

Solution

If you want to try it with the Task Scheduler, you should do this:

• Open the Task Scheduler
• Select Create Task:

• Go to the Actions tab:

• Select Send an e-mail:

• After configuring your action, go to the Trigger tab:

• Choose On a schedule and set the task to run weekly on Mondays as you need:

That looks like exactly what I'm looking for! Just a question though - for the attachment - will it always send out the same attachment on the given weekly basis?

@StayPuft It'll send the attachment you select as long as it exists (otherwise it'll send an email with no attachment). Also in case you're worried, it's good to point out that the file sent will be on it's current state, so if you updated it'll be the most updated version, not something like the file as it was when you created the task.

Awesome! Thanks for the help!

Not exactly, as you can use Outlook's SMTP Server to send email, see
