Stop a workflow if a source file isn't refreshed

Question

Hi,

I need some help with a workflow I am creating.

It is quite a simple scenario.

I have files being saved down to sharepoint each week. I just want the workflow to check the file save dates and if they match the current date then run the workflow, otherwise stop. The workflow would run on an every 15 minute schedule limited to a 3 hour window on a Tuesday as that is when the data will be saved down to sharepoint as part of the agreement but I would like the workflow to run as soon as the data updates within that window on the next 15 minute window scheduled.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Check out the newest version of alteryx!  Control containers are here.  You'll be able to stop the updates process if the condition you set isn't achieved.

One way to stop the workflow is through the message tool.
As the workflow is scheduled, if there is no problem ending it due to an error, it is a tool that can be used. another is the detour tool.

All schedules will be executed but you can choose which one will actually update the data.

If you send an example with data, we can set up a workflow to demonstrate the logic
