Creating a task

Out-the-box integration jobs for ease and speed.

Every Task is an integration job. There are two ways you can create a task: using the UI or via code using our .yml templates and a Git Provider.

Creation via the UI

After creating a pipeline, the next step is to create a Task.

Select "Add Task" in one of the Task Boxes.

Click "Add Task" to add a task to your pipeline

• Select the Integration Job you want to create for the task
• Give the Task a name and configure the parameters for the task. A setup guide for the task will appear on the right-hand-side

Add a Task name and the Job ID for triggering a Job in dbt Cloud

Well done!

You've created your first Task. Now your Pipeline has a single Task:

You can now configure tasks to run in parallel with the task you just added, or add dependencies to the tasks. The UI currently only supports multi-linear Pipelines, an example of which you can see below. If you have a more complex orchestration requirement, please get in touch with us at [e-mail].

The Pipeline in Orchestra (above) is equivalent to the DAG chart (below)

Creation via Git (.yml) (Beta)

Stay tuned for how you can create tasks using code and the benefits of Git.
