As promised, here are some resources for further learning from the session: 

Inputting data: our new Connecting to Data Guide contains lots of content about topics covered in this webinar such as: Dynamic Inputs, Alteryx Data Connection Manager (DCM), and using macros to input data. 

Outputting data: check out @Samantha_Jayne's blog on bulk uploading data in Snowflake. @DawnDuong mentioned optimizing your outputs by leveraging .yxdb files—you can learn more about that file format in this help article. And if you want to understand more about @cplewis90's tip for using post SQL statements, you can read more here: Alteryx Pre/Post SQL Statements. 

Governance: Our speakers chatted a lot about governance throughout the webinar. Here’s a great blog to follow up and learn more: Alteryx Workflow Governance: What Are Your Best Practices? 

Handling input data changes/error proofing: A good tip here was to enable email events for workflow failures. And if you want, you can have the emails go to your Microsoft Teams channel! 

Making workflows dynamic: Dawn highlighted two great videos for this topic--Making Dynamic Workflows and Dynamic Inputs.
