Data from Qliksense Dashboard

[Eswaran]

Is there a way for Alteryx to connect to a Qliksense Dashboard (Hosted on a  Server) and get the data directly from the Dashboard?

In current process, I go to the online Qliksense Dashboard, select the relevant filters from one particular view and then download the data as a Excel file. Then I need to make some changes to this Excel file using Excel. I want to automate this process using Alteryx. The nuance is that I don't have access to the underlying data source (or SQL query). All i have is the access to the Qliksense dashboard.

Ideally, I would want Alteryx to connect to the said Qliksense Dashboard and choose a few filters on a view (as I direct) and then download that data. Then, I will build rest of the workflow to replicate the process I am performing using Excel.

Qlik is calling the data from...? 

Would it not be better to call directly from the source which Qlik uses, into Alteryx? Or is there a limitation on that front?

Beyond that, the documentation does not say much about QlikSense to Alteryx: https://help.alteryx.com/qlik-sense

Actually I dont have access to qlik sense files & underlying data behind qliksense.. I only have access to qliksense dashboard which is on server FYI. & I am End User to Qlik sense dashboard in this case...

It would be better for you to get access, otherwise you'll have to load metadata like this:

I really recommend for you to speak to your Qlik team on this. Otherwise the workaround is not worth it.
