Great extra tools! Thanks to Inviso for making their macros available for everyone. However, a shame that Grazitti Interactive charges money for their connector tools. Alteryx should look into this, as it delimits the use of the program. Alteryx is expensive enough already.

 @casperkeilstrup  Alteryx partners are an integral part of the Alteryx Community and we are glad that you may find some useful tools from them. This is up to them whether or not they would like to charge for these tools. All of the tools that these partners are providing can actually be created by the user and we encourage users to try and build these tools for themselves. In fact, if you look at the Alteryx Public Gallery gallery.alteryx.com you will find many users free tools as well!

There is an issue with accessing the Grazitti Interactive site and it is security related.

Great index. Good to know for some of us who are putting Alteryx near the heart of our data analytics strategy. 

 

One question, are there any "low-code" app development providers that Alteryx plays better with than others with? Such as Outsystems, Mendix, SF Lightning, etc... Especially for those of us looking for combine analytics apps or promote code with web apps, it would be good to know if there are any standout players here.

Hello All, can anybody explain the input fields in 'WWW Webscraper' macro. I am trying to implement this but always getting error. I think its related to the third field called difference. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Hi,

 

I build the WWW Webscraper and it was basically a POC. The idea from the field called difference was to allow for pagination easily. In short the Macro is not. What are you trying to scrape?

 

Best regards,

Daniel

Can these be installed on Alteryx Server? Specifically the sFTP w/RSA Tool?

How safe is to use above sFTP w/RSA tool? does it take any of our data outside of the organization? Any one used it before and any reviews will be helpful.

Hi,

 

I would download the tool and check the macro. My best guess is that it does not send any data to 3rd parties - but I do not know.

 

Best regards,

Daniel

I don't understand why there are so many 3rd party tools and why Alteryx does not incorporate them into their application.  Some of these seem quite logical to be included as a direct Alteryx function and not a partner application.  If Alteryx wants to continue to grow the business especially with delivering on server capabilities, need to ensure all functionality runs seemlessly in both end user and server capacities without having to constantly download add-ons due to lack of functionality or delays in updates.

Hi Smountne

 

Could you elaborate a bit on the issues that you face in terms adding macros? We have several customers where everything runs smoothly.

 

We are one of the partners that build tools and for us it is a matter of building the tools together with subject matter experts. Alteryx provides the platform and we together with our customers build connecters for different tools.

 

Best regards,

Daniel

DanielB - just reading all the comments above these, it appears there are a lot of 3rd party macros built to accommodate needs for alteryx users.  there is concern regarding if things work properly, etc.  I too, had concerns regarding the Teknion (3rd party) tool sets (macros) to accommodate a gap in the SHA2 security issue.  Some of these tools do not come with instructions or as open source to ensure they are compliant with our company's policies.

Hi again,

 

Fortunately there are a lot of great people in the community ready to help (myself included). If you have an issue getting stuff to work I will be happy to join a call.

 

All the tools are completely open source - just right click the macro and see what happens inside. If you elaborate on the SHA2 issue, I will be happy to see if there are any macros that are impacted (my best guess is, that they are not).

 

All the best,

Daniel

Hi great tools. How do you make tools available when running from Alteryx Server?

 

E.g. I installed the Teknion Toolkit with a .MSI file, which installed the files to C:\Program Files\Alteryx\bin\HtmlPlugins

The tools now shows up when I open Alteryx. As I'm not an Alteryx Server admin, can I link to these tools somehow if they're on a shared folder?

Hi @jeneir

 

Macros can be attached and uploaded with workflows to Server. But HTML tools (which it sounds like is what you're using) need to be installed by the Server admin in the same exact manner that you installed them to the desktop.

This is the updated link for Teknion's sFTP with RSA tool: https://www.teknionusa.com/teknion-toolkit

 

The link in the original post doesn't take you to correct toolkits anymore.
