datallog create-automation

The datallog create-automation command creates a new automation within an existing Datallog project.

INFO

This command should be run from the root directory of a project (i.e., where the project.yml file is located). It scaffolds a new directory under the automations/ folder containing a boilerplate Python file for your automation logic.

Usage

datallog create-automation [options] <automation_name>

Arguments

<automation_name>

• Type: string
• Required: Yes

The name of the automation you want to create. This name must be unique within the project. A directory with this name will be created to house the automation's source code.

Example

Create a new automation named process-invoices:

datallog create-automation process-invoices

After running this command, a new directory automations/process-invoices/ will be created. It contains two files:

• process-invoices.py: The main file for your automation logic.
• seed.json: A file where you can place the initial data to be passed to the @core_task when running the automation locally.
