Changing the event details on multiple Alteryx workflows on Alteryx Gallery

[dbmurray]

Hi all.

Interesting one. Is it possible to en-mass change the event action details on a group of Alteryx workflows stored on Gallery?

We need to update to the TO: and FROM: addresses on a large number of workflows, and I'm not loving the idea of having to individually update each workflow on the gallery, which will take considerable time and resources?

Cheers in advance

@dbmurray Try this method,

Alteryx provides a REST API for the Gallery, which you can use to interact with workflows programmatically. You may be able to script a solution that iterates through your workflows and updates the event action details.

Thanks @Raj - forgot about the API! This sounds like a great approach. Will test and report back.

I don't think that will work. workflows are stored as .yxzp packages on your gallery/server and you'd need to loop through the xml of each workflow in an uncompressed format to fix this. You could push new version of the workflow via api - which will save you time. But you'd still need to update each workflow on your local system before updating.

Of course this would be solved with github integration... ... ... ... ... ... ...
