Can we use "Sendkeys" excel method in Alteryx or any similar function
Solved! Go to Solution.
If I understand the question correctly...
Download AutoHotKey https://autohotkey.com/
You can insert the Send Keys into an AHK filetype and call AutoHotKey to execute it from Alteryx.
Hi @Seshu,
You cannot send keys inherently from Alteryx, but you should be able to run a VB script or batch file that are written to perform the same functionality from Alteryx using the Run Command tool. Here are a few links to help get you started:
