Remote web activation of alteryx workflow?

[warrencowan]

Hi guys,

I'm working with designer and scheduler, and was looking for a way to be able to kick off a process remotely somehow. eg throwing a webhook or message from an external application so it can trigger a command line running of my workflow or something similar.

Anyone dabbled with such heresy?

Love to hear if you have. Likewise equally happy to be told Im just barking so I can go back to the day job.

Best

Hi @warrencowan - I would recommend to consider upgrade to Alteryx Server, which offers multiple API endpoints. You may read more here:

Hello @warrencowan,

Have you had a look at AlteryxEngine APIs,

The AlteryxEngine API can be used to programmatically execute designer workflows.

@UgoAgo Hi,

Is Alteryx server license required to use the AlteryxEngine APIs features or is Alteryx Designer license sufficient.

Hi @Mahadeva 

An Alteryx Server license will be required for that functionality.
