Analytics Process Automation with Alteryx and Qlik Sense.

Following up from my last post which talked through how we can utilise the power of Qlik-CLI to trigger app reloads from app load scripts, I'm going to talk through how we can expand out the use of the Qlik-CLI functionality to trigger app reloads from Alteryx. If you've not yet read part one of this blog series and want to understand more about Qlik-CLI within Qlik Sense before you begin; you can read that post here . What is Qlik-cli? Qlik-CLI is a PowerShell module which supports the management of Qlik Sense environments via command line scripts.  Allowing for the viewing and editing of configuration, task and other functions accessible via API, through PowerShell commands and scripts.  In our case we used the Qlik-CLI available from Qlik Branch (Adam Haydon).  Check out the link to find out more about how to go about the installation of Qlik-CLI. The Qlik-CLI needs to be installed on any machine from where you want to trigger a Qlik task, in the case of Alteryx, we install

Data Process Automation - Consumer Marketing

Consumer marketing and communication  As part of any eCommerce business, interaction with the consumer is the foundation of a successful repeat customer.  If you don't communicate and interact with your customers in the right way, they'll not return.  Targeted /personalised marketing, abandoned basket emails, timely order confirmations, some of the many interactions a business will have with their customers. There are many platforms within the market which provide an enhanced consumer experience in relation to communication and marketing.  In this post, I'll be discussing how the integration of the Magento eCommerce platform and Adobe campaign (the consumer marketing platform) was achieved. What was the challenge?  To leverage the full potential of this platform, there was a requirement to enable the synchronisation of customer and transactional data between the eCommerce sites and Adobe Campaign, this allows automation of enhanced content emails to be triggered via Adobe C

Building scalable analytics automation

  There are many occasions when following completion of an Alteryx workflow, we'd like to reload our Qlik Apps.  Much of the time, that involves making some estimation as to when the app reload should be scheduled based on average time it takes for the workflow to complete, plus an arbitory additional period of time, 'just in case'. Much of the time, that works pretty well.  Workflows run our nightly processes so triggering the app reload 30 minutes later doesn't impact business processes or users needs. When we begin to introduce user interaction with our workflows through Gallery or though Qlik based functionality, the challenges begin.   A recent project found us in the realms of Qlik app reloads and supporting user driven app reloads. Using the VizLib Collaboration tools, we introduced a platform to manage product data from the stage of ideation.  VizLib forms provide the functionality from a user perspective to 'add' data from within a Qlik Sense app, reloa
