The Datagraph is part of the DataHub. You can describe how your Datasources relate and reuse that trusted data in your Workflows.
The Datagraph is in beta. Its pages and options can still change. Talk to your Technical Account Manager before you rely on it in a live Workflow.

Why Use the Datagraph?

Each Datasource holds one set of data — products, stores, purchases, or customers. On its own, a Datasource cannot answer a question that needs two sets of data at once. The Datagraph links Datasources. Your data team can prepare reusable Objects, such as “top five products bought by this person”. Any Workflow can reuse them.
You do not have to build the Datagraph yourself. It is usually set up once by your data team or your Reelevant Technical Account Manager, then reused by everyone.

Where to Find It

Open DataHub in the sidebar, then choose Datagraph. Use these pages to explore the model and its reusable Objects: On Objects, choose CREATE OBJECT to add an Object. The list shows No objects yet until you create one. In Object families, select Create family to define shared output fields. On Schema, use Visual to edit tables. Select Diagram, Relations, or Datasources to explore the model.

Relations tab of the Datagraph Schema page, showing links from recommendations to users and listings

Exploring the Schema

The Schema page includes views for exploring the model and checking its links.
  1. Open DataHub → Datagraph → Schema.
  2. Select the Diagram tab to see each Datasource as a box, with lines showing how they are linked.
  3. Drag the diagram to move around, and use the zoom buttons to get closer.
  4. Open the Relations tab to review each link one by one.
  5. Open the Datasources tab to list the Datasources used in the model, with their fields.

The Diagram, Relations, and Datasources tabs show the Draft version when one exists. Otherwise, they show the Published version.
On the Relations tab, each link shows a Join match percentage. It tells you how well the values on both sides overlap in your data. Relations tab of the Datagraph Schema page, listing five links with their join match percentages
A weak or invalid link usually means the two Datasources do not share the same identifiers. Personalisation built on that link may return no result, so raise it with your data team before you use it in a Workflow.

Draft and Published Versions

The Schema page shows a Draft or Published status badge. Each Object also has its own version. Nothing you see in a Draft affects your live personalisation until someone publishes it. Datagraph Objects listing with Name, Status, and Last update columns

What Objects Can Answer

An Object answers one question about one person, one product, or one area. Your data team writes it once, and every Workflow can reuse it. Here are typical examples for a property listings account: The same patterns work for other businesses. For example, a retail account might need to show the last items a person bought. It might also show stock in their favourite store or best sellers in their preferred category.
Describe the question you need in plain words, with the data it should return. Your data team turns it into an Object, then you pick it in your Workflow.
The Object editor includes Object name and Edited object fields, plus INPUT / OUTPUT and VERSIONS panels. Open PREVIEW & RESULTS to check the returned values. Datagraph Object editor with Object name and Edited object fields, INPUT / OUTPUT and VERSIONS side panels, and the collapsed PREVIEW & RESULTS panel The INPUT / OUTPUT panel lists each parameter and the returned fields, with output types shown as Text, Number, or Image URL.

Using an Object in a Workflow

Once an Object is published, you can use it in a Workflow with the Datagraph Object Data Node. The Node fetches external data for your Workflow.
  1. Open your Workflow in the Workflow editor.
  2. Add the Datagraph Object Data Node.
  3. Select a published Object in the Object field.
  4. Fill in each field under Object parameters. The Object’s short description appears above its input.
  5. Use the returned data in your Content or in a Condition.
See Datagraph Object for the full Node walkthrough.
Only tech admins can configure this Node. Ask your administrator if it appears read-only. See Permissions for the Datagraph Schema and Datagraph permissions.
