Run an Alteryx Workflow with the run command tool

[Samyy]

Hi,

I hope you are good.

Is it possible to launch a saved alteryx workflow in a other one workflow ?

I'm trying to centralize all my workflows in one by giving the paths of my workflows in the run command tool but i'm struggling, it look like the tool need an input path and output.

I can't use any package, only the alteryx designer version.

I build this and the tool need a input/output but the workflow executed have his input and his output so i don't understand.

Thanks in advance !!

@Gaurav_Dhama_ If the users are selecting apps to run, that would be tricky to run but it sounds like these are just workflows. The Top level workflow could be configured to pass Workflow IDs based on which ones are selected into the Server API tool, using a macro within the main workflow that would trigger the selected workflows.

The newer versions of alteryx don't require the workflows to be apps to be triggered via API, I am doing it on 2024.2. I have a workflow that triggers others, not via app interface but could be configured to do so.

@Gaurav_Dhama_ and @abacon are both correct and have done a great job here pointing out strategies to get this to work --- and issues with it on server. This is a pain point I've had with Alteryx. 

You could make a live datasource (database) mapping workflows and input parameters and have:

app 1---> choose workflow. search for parameters

app 2-> provide interface screen to user ---> build payload. call api.

app 3-> run workflow via api.

Thanks for your replies, i can not work in gallery unfortunately so i tried the alternative with the mix of chained app and blob tool but I can't get it to work, I don't quite understand how the output blob can execute a workflow and how to replace the workflow which will be executed...

Here you go, run App1.

App1 will allow you to select from two other apps that you want to run, and it will trigger the one selected.
