Automate Data from Excel to Website

As selenium in Python, how can we use the same/alternative process in Alteryx to automate data which is in Excel to update it in Website.

Figure out the api. use the api.

As @apathetichell said, you'll have to search for this site's API if you want to do it in Alteryx. Otherwise you'll probably have to figure this out with an RPA tool (UI Path for example) to replicate the clicks you seem to need

If possible can you make a workflow for me?

You can make an example workflow to make me understand.

We cannot since we have no information about the site, if it has an API, what the authentication is, etc. There are examples on the Community of APIs you can follow once you gather all the proper information!

Hey ---> I get to the bad guy here because a) @alexnajm is a nice guy. and b) he works for a company which helps people to use Alteryx.

 

I don't. 

 

I get to be the bad guy.

 

I get to say ---> this is you/your companies problem--- and you have to figure it out. 1) what is the site? 2) what is the api? 3) what you have you tried? 4) ask my buddy claude? 

 

You/your company need a plan here which isn't just go on the Community site and ask people to do stuff for you.

if your company have extra fund, or you have extra fun time, you can try Uipath.

Where UiPath is top software that simulate typing and click also other action. mainly help to automate interact between software or website. 
but, it almost same price with Alteryx.

I’ve used Alteryx to push Excel data to web forms by combining the output tool with a Python or API connector. If the site has no API, tools like Selenium or UIPath work well for simulating input. Just ensure the data structure aligns with the form fields. For recurring tasks, scheduling it with Alteryx Server or Windows Task Scheduler saves tons of time.
