Hello all, is it possible to make a excel VBA to change the input of Alteryx analytics app and execute it?

 

I searched over different webpage, I can use VBA to open the alteryx apps, but cannot figure out how to edit and run it, thanks:)

Directory tool - batch macro. You update your input data tool inside the batch macro with the path from the directory tool.
