Business experts can build something valuable without coding or help from IT
In this new exciting development, Keboola is launching no-code data transformations for everybody on the platform.
No-code transformations empower users without the technical know-how to build robust, feature-rich applications without having a degree in computer science or waiting for the IT department to develop the apps for them.
No-code data transformations empower everyone to clean and reshape their data without writing a single line of code.
Having quality data is necessary for every data-driven decision down the line. Now you don’t have to rely on the IT department or experts who know how to code to provide the data you need.
With no-code transformations your team can:
With no-code transformations, it just takes a couple of clicks to:
Under the hood, no-code transformations tap into the power of dbt.
This design allows you to extend all the benefits of dbt, such as modular development, reusable blocks, and high performance.
And you don’t have to know SQL or how to use dbt to get all the benefits.
No-code transformations do the heavy lifting for you in a couple of clicks.
Sometimes your data needs will take you beyond what the powerful no-code transformations can do.
Luckily, Keboola was built for collaboration.
You can switch the manipulations from no-code to low-code and open the transformation blocks to engineers who code alongside you.
The low-code transformations available in Keboola empower your engineers to take over and code the transformations in Python, SQL, Julia, R, or native dbt.
Let’s go through a common email cleaning process to demonstrate the power, simplicity, and speed of no-code transformations.
🧙♂️Or, let the wizard guide you. Click here to follow the prompts directly from Keboola.
We have a CSV with email signups for our super-amazing new product launch. However, a lot of emails are ill-formatted, duplicated, and currently need a lot of cleaning before we can import them into our marketing tool and run a marketing campaign.
Our goal: get clean emails, so we can import them into our CRM for a highly personalized marketing campaign.
We open up the file with email signups to get a better understanding of what will need to be cleaned.
We can see a couple of problems:
Let’s start cleaning!
Login into Keboola. If you don’t already have an account you can make one for free (no credit card required).
Within your dashboard, click Transformations > New Transformation > No-code Transformation. A popup window will appear asking you to name your new transformation. We named it “Email cleaning”.
You will be redirected to the Transformation window. Click the button Select data and choose the location where your CSV file is. If it’s on your computer, pick Upload data from your computer. If you’ve used Visual Flow Builder to load the data into Keboola, choose Select an existing table.
Scroll down to the Data Manipulation panel > pick Clean & Format> click Remove Duplicate Rows.
A window will pop up asking you to pick the column from which we’d like to remove duplicates. We pick the email column and click Save.
To remove rows without an email address or with garbage characters, we will filter the table to only keep rows with valid emails.
Go to Data Manipulation > Filter Data > click Filter Rows.
In the configuration panel, specify that you would only like to keep the rows that contain the “@” character in the column called “email” and Save your results.
To personalize the email campaign, we’d like to create a new column called “prospect_type” based on the email domain. If the email address uses gmail, we’ll categorize it as “private”. Otherwise, it will be a “company” email.
Go to Data Manipulation > Create & Update Data > click If/Else New Column.
In the configuration panel, specify that email addresses that contain “gmail.com” should be categorized as “private”, while the other emails should be categorized as “company”.
Lastly, we just need to specify where we’d like the clean email data to be saved.
Scroll down to Result > click Save to storage and create or select an existing table for your clean data.
On top, press the Run transformation button to run the cleaning data manipulation that gets you a cleaned full list of emails for your marketing campaign.
The entire process takes 5 minutes with no-code transformations. Even with veteran coders, the same SQL or Python transformation pipeline would take around an hour to code.
Easy.
Within your dashboard, click Transformations > New Transformation > No-code Transformation.
You’ll be greeted by the no-code transformation UI where you simply pick and click the transformation you need.
