Question: Is there a way to put rule in workflow before data gets published?

I have scheduled workflow to run every week (on Monday) so that the data get published in tableau server and my team can view dashboard that I have build in tableau. But sometimes the workflow doesn't run, so during those days I get error message in my email and then go to the workflow to find out the error. I want to add rule in workflow that would stop publishing data since it is not good to publish. Is there any way to do that in workflow? Need help.

Hi @Onemajor ,

 

Yes, you can use the message tool to through an error in case something is wrong. https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Tool-Mastery/Tool-Mastery-Message/ta-p/36308

A combination of a message tool + cancelling workflows on error can help you achieve that.

The block until done tool could also be useful to order what will happen first. https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Tool-Mastery/Tool-Mastery-Block-Until-Done/ta-p/33417

 

Best,

Fernando Vizcaino
