Components

Components in CARTO Workflows are, together with the data sources, the available resources to build your analytical workflows. To use these elements, drag and drop them from the Components Explorer to the Workflow canvas.

In this section you can find the list of all components in CARTO Workflows and their availability in the different cloud data warehouse platforms. Please check this page regularly as currently we are continuously incorporating new components and also completing their availability across platforms.

This section also contains information about Extension Packages, which extend Workflows' functionality for specific use cases.

Extension Packages can be created for workflows that use BigQuery and Snowflake connections.

In addition to the extensions created by external developers, partners and other third-parties, CARTO provides a collection of extension packages developed and maintained internally. These are described below, and are distributed via .zip files that can be installed from the Workflows UI.

Please note that the components available via your CARTO Data Warehouse connection are the same ones as for Google BigQuery.

Extension Packages

Workflows' functionality can be extended and tailored to specific use cases, by creating custom components, which can be grouped and distributed together as Extension Packages.

Extension Packages can be created for workflows that use BigQuery and Snowflake connections.

In addition to the extensions created by external developers, partners and other third-parties, CARTO provides a collection of extension packages developed and maintained internally. These are described below, and are distributed via .zip files that can be installed from the Workflows UI.
