Automating a Windows Command?

[johnweiss]

How can a Windows command be automated on Alteryx, so that it runs as part of a larger Alteryx script?

I understand it can be run manually

Hi @johnweiss,

You can call a cmd to run script in a workflow.

Then schedule the workflow on the Server and it's automated.
