Chaining of Workflows in Alteryx Gallery

MukeshM — Tue, 31 May 2022 09:03:01 GMT

Hi All,

We need to configure workflows in a way that the workflows are run sequentially, one after the other. May I know how to get about it?

Regards,

Mukesh.

I'd maybe consider setting this up as a chain of apps, you can do so by making the workflows applications and then in the Interface Designer tab (Ctrl+Alt+D) of each, use the following option to run the next upon its completion:

That said, there are other options. There's a useful article here on doing just this:

Can Events be configured to run apps on Server?

Also, in the Interface designer, how do I mention the app to be run in the server?

I believe so, there's a knowledge base article on events that references doing that:

https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Knowledge-Base/How-to-run-a-workflow-from-an-event/ta-p/532171

In the interface designer, with the option I highlighted above, that is just to reference the next app. To run the apps on server, you'll just need to upload them all to a project on your gallery and can schedule/run them from there. No configuration within the app itself is needed to 'tell' Alteryx it's on server.
