Refreshing Tableau dashboard every time ALTERYX workflow is run

[omkarshinde]

I want my tableau dashboard to automatically refresh its data everytime my alteryx workflow is run without me having to manually refresh the extract and map the hyper file each time.
How do I go about this?
My alteryx workflow will be in designer desktop not on server and similarly for the tableau file it will be locally stored on desktop not on online/public/server.
Any help will be appreciated! Thanks & Regards!

@mmichaelson i think i will need server access for this

@mmichaelson i think i will need server accces for this method not something that we can do locally.

@omkarshinde - Sorry, you are correct and I have completely overthought this.

If you want to write the .hyper file to your local PC or a network drive, you can use the standard Output Tool in Alteryx.  The .hyper format is a built-in file type that Alteryx can write to.

Below is an example using the "Sample - Superstore" data set that comes with Tableau.

As for refreshing your workbook, I recommend what other folks on this thread have stated - make sure your workbook is a .TWB file and use a Live connection.
