How the Alteryx Community Works
The Alteryx Community is structured to support users at every stage of their analytics journey — from first-time users to seasoned Alteryx experts. Here’s a snapshot of how it all comes together:
1. Community Forums
Have a question about how to fix your error or build a workflow? The Discussion Forums are the go-to space for peer-to-peer help. Fun fact: questions get a response within 30 minutes, and the average time to solution is an hour!
Check out this discussion thread, for example. Multiple top contributors jumped in to answer questions on Analytic Apps, with the solution author delivering a workflow example and a GIF to illustrate the solution!
Another excellent forum is the Ideas board, where Community members can submit and upvote ideas for improving Alteryx products.
2. Learning Resources
The Alteryx Academy offers interactive learning paths, video tutorials, resources for Alteryx certification, and the beloved Weekly Challenges and Cloud Quests. These free resources are incredibly valuable for upskilling and even career growth.
The best part is, it’s fun! From calculating the cost of school supplies to getting insights on electric vehicle production, the Weekly Challenges will keep you on your toes and help you master Alteryx.
3. Events & User Groups
The Community comes to life through virtual and in-person events, from Inspire (our global user conference) to local User Group meetings where you can connect with peers in your region.
The Community Live events provide interactive, expert-led sessions where Alteryx users connect, learn, and grow together as well.
4. Programming & Content
