For example, you want to run two

mapping

tasks in sequence. However, you do not want to run the second

mapping

task as soon as the first task ends if you get a warning on the first

mapping

task. Instead, you want to run the second

mapping

task to run after two hours. You can create a taskflow to orchestrate this scenario.

You can invoke and run a taskflow from the taskflow designer

, as an API, application ingestion and replication task, database ingestion and replication task, or through a connector file listener

. You can also run a taskflow on a schedule.

You can add application ingestion and replication tasks and database ingestion and replication tasks that have a Snowflake target to taskflows to process and transform ingested data post-replication. The tasks can use the initial load or incremental load type and must be enabled to run in taskflows. The taskflow is triggered when the task ends or completes a CDC cycle, depending on the load type.
