I am a newbie in Alteryx - has anyone ever built an etl workflow using python? I know how to read and run the jupyter notebook through import script in alteryx menu but not sure how to run my code as multiple steps of workflow.

Hello and welcome to the Timescale Forum!

We haven’t used Alteryx before so I can’t really help you with this type of specific question. You might have more luck at https://community.alteryx.com/

import subprocess
filename = "my_workflow.yxmd"
args = "C:\Program Files\Alteryx\bin\AlteryxEngineCmd.exe" + filename
subprocess.call(args, stdout=FNULL, stderr=FNULL, shell=False)

Note: you need a [Alteryx macros](https://hkrtrainings.com/alteryx-macros) Automation license to take advantage of the AlteryxEngineCmd.exe. 
```its possible but only if you have the Alteryx Automation or Server license.
