Event Based Trigger for scheduling Workflow

[Maitry_Joshi03]

Hello, I am very new to Alteryx and trying to figure if there is a way, we can schedule the workflow run in Alteryx which is event triggered. Currently in Alteryx we can schedule the workflow run but it is time based triggered meaning I can set for particular time or set the frequency, but I want my workflow to run when there is a new data input in my source file thus triggering an event thus running the workflow. Is it possible to do in Alteryx?

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

Are you on Designer Cloud or Desktop ?

In Designer Desktop, you can manage Events through the Events tab of the workflow configuration menu (click anywhere on the workflow to see it appear on configuration pan). You can learn more on this in the documentation:

In Designer Cloud, it's a little bit different depending on your cloud provider.

Hi @Maitry_Joshi03 

YES!! It is possible to create an event trigger when using Designer Cloud. 

Here is post that you can reference: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Engine-Works/AACP-Event-Triggers-Rescuing-Teams-From-Time-Zone-Woes...

You can also create event triggers for databases that are in SnowFlake - isn't that amazing! 💥

(the idea to create the event trigger for SnowFlake databases is the same as above, you just need to reference the right table)

Hope this helps
