Scheduling of Alteryx Workflows

Question

Team,

Need your help in below query.

1.Need to schedule around 500+ workflows in Gallery,after the underlying tables load completed. Is there any option i

where we can kickstart the Workflows from other tools/scripts like Python?

2.If not,need to implement a event wait in each workflow or can we create a reusable component to check and use it?

Appreciate your response for the same.

Regards,

SSS

500+ workflows on schedule! Thats rare, but yeah you can easily do it with API as mentioned in above replies.

Well if you don’t have access to API then maybe let the workflows run on schedule, and you create views in your database that will always contain the latest data, thus if no data, schedule will run but not do anything, else it will run as required.

@susukavi Are you wanting to add the workflows to the job queue, or create a new schedule for each workflow? I have provided each api you would be looking for depending on the method you are using.

This is possible with whatever automation tool you are using to check if the table load is finished.

There is a schedules endpoint via the Server APIs - I would try that. In theory as long as the tool you want to use can kick off the API, it should work: Alteryx Server API V3
