Is it possible to chain workflows on server?

[Hamder83]

Hi 

In all its simplicity, is it possible to chain workflows that is saved to gallery?

I know I can do it using events if its locally stored, but do I have a similar option on server workflows?


Kind regards

Yes it is possible. You configure the workflow the same, but when you push up to the server ensure the chained app is clicked when you go to "manage workflow assets". It can be tricky to edit the chained app though.

Hi @abacon  - does that mean that I need to keep the 2. workflow stored locally or zipped (as asset to the 1. one?) 

Im not able to directly link a 2. workflow that is already on gallery? using a gallery url?

@Hamder83 I was never able to get it work by keeping the 2 workflow local. 3 options: 1. When you push the 1 workflow up, make sure the chained app is selected under Manage workflow assets - 2. Use the alteryx gallery APIs to trigger the 2. workflow via API call within the first one - 3. Make the 2. workflow a macro that is placed within the 1. workflow and gets triggered after the 1. workflow runs using a block until done or a control container depending on the version of alteryx you are on.

The easiest and most scalable of these options is the alteryx gallery API option. Chained apps are more complex and making changes to them is always a little tricky.

I hope this helps!

@Hamder83 Doubling back on this, were you able to resolve your issue?
