Custom tool installation

[Sukumar]

Hi Everyone,

I tried to install custom tools under connector tool category in alteryx designer. The tool was installed successfully but below error has occurred while drag and drop the Emotion Detector installed tool into canvas. Attached the below .YXI file for your reference.

Hey @Sukumar,

Really nice tool, I changed the file structure to the one I use for Macro based tools and the .yxi worked fine:

Sorry I cant be more exact into want exactly the issues was. It looked like you had a folder structure designed for the SDK.

New Structure:

If you want to check out the structure more I would unzip it and have a look 😄.

Any questions or issues please ask :)
HTH!

Hey @Sukumar,

For your first question I'm not sure so I have started a thread here: How to add Help Button Link to Macro? - Alteryx Community. I'll let you know if I get any information. 

For your second question all you need to do is put them in separate folders like this:

(I have attached an Example yxi for you to look at) 

^I had two files so I got two tools

Thanks @IraWatt, It's working fine now. Am installing two macro's in a single YXI file Emotion Detector and Toxicity Detector. In config file added two macro tools details and icons. I converted YXI file name as SentimentAnalysis While installing Emotion Detector tool is showing but both tools are installed successfully under connectors tool category. Kindly assist this is correct or not.
