hi @arsh011 

As of now, year 2023, we cannot run WF with run command.

Actually there was an add-in license to enable this function(called Desktop Automation), but unfortunately that product is already terminated.

You have two option:

1) Alteryx Server

2) Cloud Execution for Desktop

If you already have Alteryx Server, you can utilize Server API to run WF.

For example, you can create the dedicated WF on server that executes multiple WF by Download tool to call Server API, if you could properly configure the trigger to execute 2nd WF.

Could the second workflow just be converted to a macro that is called at the end of the first workflow?
