Workflow Chaining | Batch Macro

[Gowrikrishnan]

Hi, I would like to run my workflows in a sequential manner. Each of my workflows have user interface letting them to choose. I just want user to select only once and those values should pass to all the workflows. For that, I converted my flows into batch macros and used it to run in one go. I'm new to Alteryx and struggling bit in configuring macros.

• What I done is read all those user input using interface tools and connected them to control area of macro. Then within the macro I used control parameter where ever I used those user inputs earlier and configured action tool to overwrite user's choice. 
• And used output macro where ever earlier I had my output tool.

But it showing flowing errors:

1. Output connection is not valid
2. Showing different location for the file which i used inside macro. Hence giving 'File not found' error.

Please advice is my approach wrong somewhere or is there any other alternate option to achieve my goal?

Hey @Gowrikrishnan,

It you are looking to chain workflows with a user interface you should use an Chained Analytical App. The community has a really quick and easy interactive video on the topic: Chaining Analytic Apps - Alteryx Community

Hi, Thanks for answering. i gone through the video however still facing some problem. Is there any way to pass some parameters(Which i read from users, let's say year and month) to next workflow. The outputs of these workflow are not used in next flow. Can we do so using chained app?
