Automatic Pick Input File from a Folder

[wenjuanchen]

Read File Name Intelligently 

Morning everybody, I have the following scenario:

Each month there is a new input data file coming in for my workflow with a different timestamp (e.g. XYZfile_20171231, XYZfile_20180131, etc.). I want Alteryx to pick up the file with the latest timestamp to run the workflow. 

I checked dynamic input, but does not look very positive.

Any suggestions?

Thank you so much.

Hello Team,

I have a similar problem where file will be replaced on a daily basis. I need to pick the file only when date modified is today's date(current date). The time for the file replacement is not fixed so I need to make sure flow runs only when date modified is changed to today's date(Current date).

how can I make this happen?
