Flow integration

Flow integration

Analytics registers a user-scoped Nextcloud Flow operation named Analytics – Import data into an existing dataset.

Use cases

• Import a changed CSV, JSON, or spreadsheet file into an Internal Database dataset.
• Trigger an existing data load when a matching file event occurs; the file name is passed to the data load. This is useful for local sources that read a timestamp from the filename.

Configure a flow

1. Create and test the target report or data load manually.
2. Open Settings → Personal → Flow.
3. Add a rule with the file conditions you need.
4. Choose the Analytics operation and select either a dataset import or a data load.
5. Upload or change a matching file and verify the result.

Direct file import requires an Internal Database target and a supported file format. A Flow-triggered data load follows that data source’s own requirements. Flow does not present Analytics errors in the UI; use a manual test and Data-load troubleshooting when a load does not appear.
