Schedule workflow one after another

I have 2 workflow which I want to schedule one after another. They don't have any dependencies between them and also I'm not getting any output from the first workflow as its a Python code and thus I can't use Crew Macros like Runner etc. Any other way just to run them one after another?

You can use the Events tab on the workflow and add a run command event to occur after the workflow.  

 

You'd use the AlteryxEngineCmd executable which will be wherever you installed Alteryx.  I always boost up the timeout as well as I think the default is 30 seconds or something and most my modules take way longer than that.

Hmm...is your D:\ drive on your server?  If not, it should be the full UNC path.
