Event based trigger schedule workflow run.

Hello, I am very new to Alteryx and trying to figure if there is a way, we can schedule the workflow run in Alteryx which is event triggered. Currently in Alteryx we can schedule the workflow run but it is time based triggered meaning I can set for particular time or set the frequency, but I want my workflow to run when there is a new data input in my source file thus triggering an event thus running the workflow. Is it possible to do in Alteryx?

 

Thank you in advance.

There isnt a trigger in Alteryx to do that.

The solution I use is to utilize API calls and PowerAutomate.

I use PowerAutomate to monitor for trigger conditions (email, sharepoint file create/updated, etc.) and then call the API and schedule the appropriate workflow.

That way I only run certain flows on demand instead of having to fit a schedule.
