Invoke Alteryx workflow from Excel

[ardsilva]

Hello,

Just wanted to know if its possible to invoke an Alteryx workflow from Excel. The user should be able to place data in one sheet, and may be click on a button which will invoke the alteryx workflow which will use this data to do some processing.

Thanks

Antony.

If you have the correct license you can run Alteryx from the command line

So you could write a vbs script in excel to call the command line executable.

You might be able to use shell commands and SendKeys in VBA, but it would probably be very prone to error.  I would be interested how well would work, but I am too lazy to try this.  If works, you could use this as Scheduler with Windows Scheduler.
