Generate custom steps for your exact needs

The Custom transform step lets you describe the logic you want to run on your data, and automatically generates a custom step using AI. This improvement will eliminate complex building patterns, enable faster Flow building, and unlock totally new data transformation and analysis capabilities. 

How to use the step 

The Custom transform step works best for logic-based tasks—calculations, formatting, and structured transformations—similar to what you’d normally do with Excel formulas or Parabola’s other Transform steps.

Your input

• A table of data
• Data transformation instructions—exactly how you'd explain it to a teammate
  • Example prompt: "Calculate total revenue for men's products by SKU per month. Return the following columns: Month, SKU, Product Title, and Revenue. Format revenue as currency ($100.00)." 

Parabola's output

• An updated dataset, transformed based on your instructions
• Documentation outlining the logic in your AI-generated code

Locking your instructions

• Once you’re happy with the results of the step, you can select "Reuse logic (default)" to ensure consistent results. More in the FAQs below.
