Apps

Prophecy Apps simplify the process for non-technical users to run data pipelines through intuitive, form-based interfaces—no engineering required. Instead of writing or modifying pipeline code, users can rely on pre-built, templated apps to run pipelines quickly and consistently.

These reusable apps help teams collaborate more effectively by eliminating duplicate work and standardizing processes across users. Built-in logic and guardrails further reduce the risk of errors, guiding users through safe, tested execution paths.

App capabilities​

Prophecy Apps look and feel like simple forms, but they pack the following powerful capabilities:

  • Upload custom data to overwrite pipeline sources
    Swap out input data without modifying pipeline logic. Whether you're running a pipeline with weekly reports or customer-specific datasets, upload your file to replace the default source.

  • Assign values to pipeline parameters
    Set variables such as dates, thresholds, or regions at runtime. Parameters appear as form fields, making it easy to customize each run without writing code.

  • View and download app-generated output data
    Explore and download the outputs produced by the pipeline after the app runs. This lets you verify results before sharing, without digging into external storage systems.

  • Save and reuse app configurations
    Save a set of parameter values and inputs as a configuration. Reuse it anytime to run the same job again for recurring tasks or standardized reports.

  • Schedule automated app runs
    Set up your app to run on a regular basis to automate recurring workflows.

Working with Prophecy Apps​

Prophecy Apps live in the App Browser, where each app is linked to a specific data pipeline. You’ll see apps from any project that has been shared with your team, making it easy to discover and reuse trusted workflows. Apps always run against the latest published version of their pipeline, so you can count on up-to-date logic and data sources.

If you want to build an app and turn your pipelines into simple, form-based tools that anyone on your team can use, follow our guide to create a Prophecy App.
