Creating a custom tool

[J-Li]

Hi,

I wanted to hear from those who have created custom tools in Alteryx, how difficult was the task?

I'm talking of industry-specific components and would appreciate any insights.

Thanks,

Now, I have a dilemma: I'd like to accept more than one answer as a solution to my question. Is that possible?

That should be possible! There are many posts with multiple answers marked as solutions.

It sounds like from the above, you are best to create an Alteryx Macro as your custom tool, unless you are versed in creating Python/C++ apps. The easiest approach will be to create a workflow that reads in the file using Python/R/CMD and then turning that into a macro.
