How to create and schedule a data flow

Create a data flow, choose its type, schedule it and configure it. You need the Data Flow admin user permission. The data flow model is described in Data flows.

Create the data flow

1. From the menu, select Admin, then Data flow.
2. Click Add new.
3. In the Add New Data Flow window, fill in Key, Name and Type. You cannot change the key or type after creation.
4. Click Confirm.

The Data Flow saved message appears and the data flow editing page opens.

Schedule the data flow

1. On the editing page, under Schedule, choose when the data flow should run: hourly, daily, on specific days of the week or month, at a specific time.
2. In Error Recipients (emails), enter the email addresses that should receive error notifications. Press Enter or type a comma after each address: invalid addresses are discarded.
3. Click Save.

The Data Flow saved message appears. In the Data Flows list, the Schedule column describes the schedule and Next execution shows the next scheduled run.

If you select Is Suspended before saving, the data flow is saved as suspended and will not run until you resume it.

Configure the data flow

1. In the Data Flows list, click the Configure icon in the data flow's row.
2. Set the options for the data flow type.
3. Click Save.

The options depend on the type: file format and columns for a GenericExportConnector; attributes and Google Search Console and Google Analytics 4 properties for a SeoDataConnector; execution mode for a ContentHealthCheckConnector. A ProductHealthSnapshotConnector has no options.

To change the name, schedule or recipients later, click the Edit icon in the data flow's row.
