Toric is ideal for reusability; build Dataflows once and let them run. With the Run Dataflow action, you can save time opening and updating sources. Let's learn how to use the Run Dataflow action in Automations.
Automations are Actions that are executed based on a Trigger event. For example, evaluate a Dataflow when a source is updated in a project.
In the Dataflow Manager, navigate to the left menu and click on the Automations.
Click the + Create an automation button and fill in each section of the configuration page.
In the Automation Configuration you will need to complete the following steps:

In the Automations section, find an Automation and click the three dots on the right to open the menu options. Select View History to see if the Automation run status. There are three states:
For a Failed Automation run, click on the View Detailed Log option to see the error code associated with the failure. If your Dataflow keeps failing, we recommend creating a support ticket and pasting the chat's error code. Knowing the specific error code will help our engineers find a solution faster.
