Running a workflow locally (via developer) without manual interaction

[MCDR929]

Hello,

I'm exploring ways to circumvent the Alteryx server, specifically for workflows that don't have to run on the server in order to be successful (workflows that do not send emails, etc.).  

One interesting idea: can a workflow be scheduled to run on/in developer on a local machine?

Surely there's a bot or something that can kick off a scheduled run within developer without touching the server.  Has anyone tried something like this?

You can kick off a workflow using a command line, but you need to have either the Scheduler or Server products to do this for the Engine API license. Without using either one of these, it is not possible.
