What it does

When a partner adds a CSV to a shared Dropbox folder, this workflow validates each row against your contract schema, streams the clean rows into a BigQuery table, and moves the rejected rows into a quarantine folder alongside a defect report. The team gets a formatted summary of accepted versus rejected counts and the top failure reasons in Discord.

When to use it

Use it when partners deliver feeds through Dropbox and your analytics live in BigQuery. It keeps the warehouse clean, preserves every rejected row for re-processing once corrected, and notifies the team in the channel they already watch.

How it works

  1. 1A new CSV in the watched Dropbox folder fires the trigger.
  2. 2The file is parsed and each row is validated against the schema contract.
  3. 3The flow branches clean rows from rejected rows.
  4. 4Clean rows are streamed into the BigQuery target table.
  5. 5Rejected rows and a defect report are written to a Dropbox quarantine folder.
  6. 6A formatted defect report is posted to Discord with run statistics.
