Stock notification alerts

[DHNS]

I am relatively new to Alteryx, but to my knowledge it does not seem like you are able to create aggregate data alerts that link two data columns to each other.

My suggestion is the following: Enable Alteryx to create a data alert so if you are creating a warehouse overview (as an example) you can set an alert whenever the quantity of an item is equal to its minimum stock

Alert when: Quantity = Minimum stock

Thus, whenever your quantity is reaching a critical level, you would receive an alert either through Alteryx, in Tableau (which I use to mediate my Alteryx data) or by email.

Hi @DHNS, Alteryx can certainly be used for alerting purposes, however the workflow needs to be 'run' for an alert to be triggered. This can be done by either pressing the run button or by using the scheduling capabilities if you have access to that.

For the alerting, you will need to do some for of join to ensure the fields of interest are in the same row and then use the message tool to write an expression and trigger and alert.

You can find out a lot more about the message tool here: https://help.alteryx.com/2020.1/Message.htm

You will also want to check out the email tool AND Event Based Messages which can be used to push these 'alerts to whomever you wish: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Knowledge-Base/Email-Events-to-notify-on-Start-or-...

I hope this helps!
