DataMagik Just Got a Major Upgrade: Introducing Sequence Chaining!

We're thrilled to announce a groundbreaking update to DataMagik that will fundamentally change how you build and automate your data routines. Say goodbye to manual workarounds, and say hello to seamless, dynamic workflows!

The Old Way: Static Inputs and Manual Handoffs

Until now, running a series of data operations often meant juggling files. You might run a sequence to pull data from a source, export the results to an Excel file, and then use that file as the input for your next sequence. While DataMagik has always been powerful, we knew there was a missing link for true, end-to-end automation. If you wanted to connect these steps automatically, your only option was to dive into the world of custom SQL scripts—a barrier for many and a time-sink for all.

The Game-Changer: Pass Outputs Directly Between Sequences

With our latest release, we've broken down that barrier. You can now pass the output of one sequence directly as the input for the next sequence within the same routine.

This isn't just a minor tweak; it's a complete reimagining of what's possible.

Imagine a routine where your first sequence pulls live production data directly from Plex. In the past, that data would have to be manually exported and prepped for the next step. Now, the output of that first sequence—the fresh, real-time data—is instantly and automatically available as an input for the second sequence in your routine.

Why This Is a Big Deal

1. True Dynamic Automation: This update allows you to build workflows that react to live data. Pull the latest sales figures, inventory levels, or production stats and immediately use those values to trigger another action, all within a single, automated routine.
2. No More SQL Required: What previously required writing, testing, and maintaining complex SQL queries can now be accomplished with a few clicks. We've put the power of a database developer into the hands of every DataMagik user, no coding required.
3. Eliminate Manual Errors: By removing the need to manually transfer data between steps, you eliminate the risk of human error. Your workflows become more reliable, consistent, and trustworthy.
4. Unlock New Possibilities: Connect systems and processes in ways that were previously too complicated to attempt. Create cascading workflows that enrich data, perform calculations, and deliver insights in a fraction of the time.

This feature is more than just an enhancement; it's a core building block for creating sophisticated, no-code automation directly within DataMagik. We believe it will unlock incredible value for our users and can't wait to see the innovative solutions you build with it.
