Alteryx

Simplify automating processes that use Alteryx Server by replacing UI operations with background API calls.

Alteryx Automation Activities for UiPath

Our Alteryx activities package empowers you to streamline interactions with your Alteryx application through the use of the Alteryx API. With this package, your UiPath robot(s) gain the capability to execute functions and actions, facilitate attachment uploads and downloads, and efficiently manage your records through operations like retrieval, updating, insertion, and deletion.

Setting Up the Connection

In order to establish outbound automation connectivity between UiPath and Alteryx, the activities facilitate an authenticated connection. This connection is made to a custom application hosted on Box, accomplished through the utilization of the Alteryx Scope activity.

Utilizing Alteryx Activities

Once this connection is successfully established, the suite of Alteryx activities comes into play. These activities are designed to send requests to the relevant Alteryx API operations, using parameters that you specify in the input properties. You can conveniently configure these parameters via the properties panel and the Object Wizard. Upon executing these requests, if they meet with success, the activities promptly return the response values.

To establish a connection with your Alteryx application, you must follow the setup instructions provided in the guide. Once you've completed the setup steps, you can commence building your automation projects.
