Pipelines
Interactive graph visualization of your data flow from sources through models to destinations.
Last reviewed July 13, 2026
Vendo visualizes how data flows through your account as an interactive graph, called the Data Flow. It maps every source, model, and destination as a node and draws edges to show their dependencies, giving you a complete picture of your data pipeline at a glance.
The Data Flow graph appears on the Home dashboard. The Data overview page also includes a collapsible data-flow panel summarizing the same sources, models, and destinations.
Overview
Instead of navigating between separate source, model, and destination lists, the Data Flow graph shows your entire pipeline in one place. Each node represents a pipeline component, and each edge represents a data dependency between them. The graph reflects the pipeline nodes and edges managed by the Vendo platform, and it updates to show current sync status, so you can spot issues immediately.
Understanding the Graph
The graph renders nodes connected by directional edges across multiple layers:
Sources --> Identity Resolution --> Models --> Destinations
Attribution
Channel Grouping
Feature Store- Edges connect nodes to every downstream node that depends on their data.
- Direction flows left to right by default (sources on the left, destinations on the right).
- Auto-layout positions nodes automatically so the graph is readable without manual arrangement, and the view fits itself to show all nodes when the graph loads.
- Drag and drop lets you reposition any node if you prefer a different layout.
- Panning lets you navigate large graphs — scroll with the mouse wheel or click-drag on the background to pan. The zoom level is fixed; scrolling and pinching pan rather than zoom.
Node Types
Each node shows an icon, a label, and a status indicator.
| Node type | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Source | Integration icon for the connected platform (e.g., Google Ads, Stripe), source name, app type (or “File Upload” for CSV sources), and a status dot |
| Vendo | The central Vendo node that connects sources to downstream processing |
| Model | Model name and a status dot showing the latest run state |
| Processing (identity resolution, attribution, channel grouping, feature store) | A type-specific icon, node name, subtitle, and a status dot for the current run status |
| Destination | Destination platform icon, destination name, export type, and a status dot |
| Destination group | Multiple exports to the same platform grouped into one node, with per-export details and schedule labels |
Status Indicators
Every node carries a colored status dot. The dot pulses while a sync or run is in progress. The colors match the export legend:
| Color | Status |
|---|---|
| Green | Active |
| Blue | Syncing |
| Yellow | Pending |
| Gray | Paused |
| Red | Error |
Exporting
You can export the current graph as a PNG image for sharing or documentation.
- Click the Download button in the graph’s top-right corner.
- Vendo captures the graph, adds a branded frame, and includes a legend explaining the node status colors (Active, Syncing, Pending, Paused, Error).
- The PNG downloads to your browser automatically.
The exported image uses the filename prefix data-flow and includes a timestamp.
Tips
- Large accounts with many sources and destinations benefit from the auto-layout, which prevents nodes from overlapping.
- Status at a glance makes the Data Flow graph a good starting point when triaging sync issues — look for red or amber status dots, and pulsing dots to see what is currently running.
- To manage a source, model, or destination shown in the graph, open its page from the Data section.
