Create Points tool: Looking for WGS_1984_Web_Mercator_Auxiliary_Sphere WKID: 102100

Question

I'm trying to create points from X/Y points coming from Cityworks.  Our points are stored in WKID 102100.  I'm  unable to find the correct projection in Alteryx.  The best I've found, "GCS_WGS_1984", puts the points a few miles North of where they need to be.   How do I find this Projection in Alteryx?

After a little Googling, I found these articles that mention WKID 102100 is now WKID 3857:

Using this knowledge, you can customize the projection in the Create Points tool to directly reference the EPSG registry by entering "EPSG: 3857" in the Custom Projection option on the tool configuration:

This ran without error for me, but I can't confirm this is a solution without appropriate input data. Give this a try and let me know if it works.
