Loop Macro With Folder Full of .SHP Files

I'm trying to create a Macro that I can use to open a folder with about 100 .shp files (among other files) that I'd like to convert to an Alteryx database.

 

Should I use the Folder Browse tool for this? Also how do I get it to loop through all the .SHP files in the folder directory?

To simply import .shp files, Input Data Tool works fine.

(You can also use "Search SubDirs" option if your files are stored in separate directories.)

Does it work for your case?
