Run private Gallery app in background

I would like to run an app in our private gallery without seeing a run button or result page. I hope to use the app's url followed by xml answers to the app's questions. This would be started by a Tableau url action.

 

Am I asking for the impossible? Ideas are welcome but examples are more welcome. 

 

Java script and APIs are outside of my current skillset, but may be a possibility.

 

What do y'all think? 

 

Thanks for reading

Is there a specific reason why you don't want to click the run button?

 

You have two options:

  • you can schedule the workflow to run at a predetermined time and/or a regular cadence
  • you can execute a workflow via command with Server

As I've learned further, I think the API is the only way to achieve.

To answer your question about specific reason to not press, I don't want to
even show any gallery page, just do something in another application
(Tableau url action) and have that make happen what needs to happen
(Alteryx app run)

I understand now that it is going to take a javascript to get it done using
the api and some $$ to hire these skills.

Thanks for considering
