Crew Macro - Conditional Runner

[changje2]

Hello - I'm trying to use the crew macro's "Conditional Runner" tool so that upon the successful completion of one workflow, another workflow is triggered to run afterwards. The workflows I want to run are in a directory, so I used the directory tool as the input.

I'm not sure how to set this up and I keep running into errors.

Also, is there a way to choose the order in which the workflows are run?

The conditional runner macro works by running a workflow if the tool receives records

I think you want to use the List Runner instead

Or if you need the conditional component, you should add additional runner macros after the conditional runner

Hi - Thanks for your response.

Then should it be:

Directory -> List Runner -> Conditional Runner -> Runner ?

[BrandonB · Accepted solution]

If you just need to run a bunch of workflows you could do Directory -> List Runner

Alternatively if you only want to kick off workflows if there is a condition that passes records through upstream, you would have the workflow, then a conditional runner, then another runner for each subsequent workflow to execute.

Thank you!

Hi

Is it possible to use List runner with a condition? 

Like I want to run all the workflows(one by one) but the next workflow should not run if the there's an error in the previous workflow.

P.S - I don't want to use multiple conditional runners

Thanks

@Bhawna1 It looks like the list runner has an option for "Stop running modules if a module fails" which would do what you are asking, I believe.

I would suggest rolling up each workflow into a Batch Macro instead and then linking the macros together in a parent workflow.  This has the added benefit that they will be supported on Alteryx Server so they wouldn't have to be modified if they are ever published to a private Gallery.  The CReW Runner Macros are only supported in Designer.

It is not quite correct. Macros crew can be installed on the server
