CARTO Workflows

Streamline your spatial analysis

Turn complex spatial tasks into automated low-code workflows - all inside your lakehouse.

Market leaders build their spatial analysis using Workflows

Running natively on your lakehouse

Moving data slows down analysis and creates unnecessary risk. With Workflows, run analysis directly where your data lives for fast, seamless spatial insights and live map integration.

Go deeper with Foundation Models & ML

Sophisticated spatial analysis usually means long waits as models are built from scratch. Use Workflows to import pre-trained models, including Geospatial Foundation Models. Parse data, predict, and more, all in a low-code environment.

Operationalize your Workflows

Spatial workflows are often siloed and manual, making automation and integration a challenge. Use Workflows to automate, schedule, and trigger analysis, on a timer, from another system, or by exposing it as an MCP tool any agentic platform can call directly.

All the tools you need, in one place

Spatial analysis shouldn't mean deep code or long timescales. Build & iterate faster with Workflows’ hundreds of low-code analytical components - from data prep to Spatial Indexes, ML, and GenAI.

Your Workflows, your way

Pre-built tools can’t cover every need. Access your lakehouse’s native capabilities and extend your Workflow with custom components, extension packages and Agent Skills.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to code to use Workflows?

No. Workflows uses a drag-and-drop, low-code interface with hundreds of pre-built spatial components, though you can also extend it with custom SQL or your own components if you choose.

Can an agent build a Workflow for me?

Yes, with CARTO for Agents. Describe the analysis you want to Claude, ChatGPT, or another connected agent, and it proposes a Workflow you approve once, then it runs the same way every time after, repeatable and auditable.

Can I schedule or trigger Workflows automatically?

Yes. Workflows can run on a schedule, be triggered by another system, or be triggered on request by a connected agent.

Does Workflows handle large-scale data?

Yes. Workflows runs directly inside your data lakehouse, so analysis executes at the scale of your actual warehouse, with no data movement required.

Can I expose a Workflow as an MCP tool?

Yes. Any Workflow can be published as an MCP tool, so Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, or another connected agent can trigger it directly, with the same permissions and audit trail as running it yourself.

Is my data secure when a Workflow runs?

Yes. Every Workflow runs under your existing warehouse permissions and row-level security, and every run is logged, whether it was triggered by a person, a schedule, or an agent.
