Power Automate/Sharepoint/Alteryx

[cbickert]

The workflow im trying to create would essentially start with a power automate flow to copy excel files from a sharepoint site, to a local drive, and then use those files as inputs in a workflow.  (Trying to stay away from the sharepoint input tool)

Has anyone built something like this?  Secondary to that, is there a way Alteryx can kick off a power automate flow?

Hi @cbickert 

1-If you need few executions per day, the easiest way of doing it is by scheduling one execution after the another:

7:00 AM-Power Automate Run

8:00 AM-Alteryx Run

2-But if you really need to trigger one application using the another, you can try some of those options (i personally never used them, but its worth to try i think):
