Submission Guidelines

Use Webhooks to trigger a workflow

I'm not sure if this is too similar to this server idea

https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Server-Ideas/Using-Microsoft-Flow-to-trigger-workflows/idi-...

 

but I'd love to see the ability to add webhooks to Alteryx Server to launch a workflow.  I believe that is how Flow (now PowerAutomate) can run an event.  I had to spend hours figuring out how to build a "Flow" workflow which would have taken me minutes in Designer.  For example, when I receive a new MS Forms Survey submission, I can shape the data and build a sharepoint list, rather than waiting for whatever interval I set in the scheduler.

I'd like to bring this idea back up for consideration.  Has this idea of webhooks triggering a workflow to run been discussed?  There doesn't seem to be any information on it.

This is feature is part of Alteryx Powered by Trifacta. You can check out the details here https://help.alteryx.com/smc/r87/en/configure/configure-features/configure-webhooks.html#configure-w... . There are also the API endpoints which are more robust on the Server than they were a few years ago. You can use the endpoints to receive information and trigger workflows including apps.
