Is there a way for a Flow to be interrupted if the database is not updated?

I have a Flow that adds data to a BigQuery table every day at 8am, but I don't want it to run if the source table isn't up to date.

 

Can Dataprep do this?

Hi Lucas,

 

This use case is achievable as below:

 

Develop a python script which does the below. Also, you can evaluate GCP Cloud Function service for automating your use case.

 

  • Check if the database table is updated.
  • If updated, call our jobGroup or FlowRun API to trigger the job.

 

Documentation for API

 

Run Job Group API

Run Flow API

I hope the above information helps.
