Adding blocks made easy

You can quickly add blocks of code to your pipeline with these methods:

Supported block type directories: callbacks, conditionals, custom, data_exporters, data_loaders, dbt, dbts, markdowns, scratchpads, sensors, and transformers

Version 0.9.64 or greater is required to add callback and conditional blocks from the file browser.

  1. Open the file browser on the Pipeline Editor page.
  2. Click a block file and keep holding down.
  3. Drag the block file onto the center of the page (the Notebook area).
  4. Release the button and it’ll be added to the pipeline.


Re-arrange and hide or show blocks

Drag a block and move it up or down by dropping it on another block.


Pre-built data integrations for 3rd party sources

Sync data from 3rd party sources without writing boilerplate code by using pre-built data integrations (Singer Taps and Targets) provided by the data engineering community.

Data integrations to sync your data to 3rd party destinations are also available in the same feature set.

These sources and destinations can be combined and chained together with your existing blocks.

Add new block v2

An improved experience for adding new blocks to your pipeline in the Pipeline Editor (/pipelines/[pipeline_uuid]/edit), which allows you to search for existing block files and use data integration blocks inside of a standard (batch) pipeline.


Code and output side-by-side view

Run code and see its output right next to where you’re writing.

This makes it so that you don’t have to keep scrolling down every time you make a code change and want to see its results.

To enable this feature:

  1. Go to your project settings.
  2. Enable the feature named Notebook block output split view.
  3. Open the edit view of a pipeline.
  4. Under the header menu named View, click the option Show output next to code.
