Build Task Components
Task Components provide the flexibility to execute custom SQL or Python code within your Flows. They enable complex processing tasks that go beyond standard Read, Transform, and Write operations, allowing you to run SQL statements, Python scripts, or integrate with external services.
Before you begin
- Ensure you have an Ascend Project and Workspace
- Have other Components in your Flow to provide context or dependencies

🗃️ SQL Task Components
Execute custom SQL statements, stored procedures, and database operations that don't fit standard Transform patterns
🐍 Python Task Components
Run Python scripts for API calls, file operations, external integrations, and custom business logic
