Hi ,

 

I have this grp of workflow which need to be run after the other . Is there any way i can automate the flow by which once i run the first workflow , the rest of the workflows too executed in sequence . 

 

Community suggested i might need a macro , can someone help with this . 

 

Also we are getting server , is there any how to configure this in server . 

 

Thanks

three ways:

1) chained apps.

2) turn your workflows into macros. run them.

3) call successive workflows via api (requires Alteryx server)

hi @apathetichell ,

 

Do you know how to do the second option .

 

Thanks

Yes I know how. First save your workflows as macros. second create dummy macro inputs/outputs. third connect them to each other in your main workflow.

Another option is the List Runner macro from CReW macros.   No need to convert your other workflows to macros, just set up a new workflow with a list of the workflows as input.

Is there a reason to split it in 3 different workflows? You can also use Control Container which I think is the easiest method

hi @putu_w_erata  ,

 

Yes . They are not related . But need to be executed in sequence of 1-2-3 . 

 

Thanks.

Have you checked control container? I believe it can still work for your use case

If only 3 workflows and they are not too complicated, maybe we can use a Block until Done tool like below
