Until now, automation tasks ran one after another — fine for five tasks, painful for twenty-five. Stages change that.
How it works
Open any automation and you'll find a new stage board. Drag tasks between columns to group them; drop a task on the gap between columns to create a new stage in place.
- Tasks within a stage run in parallel. Refresh six data models at once instead of one at a time.
- Stages run in order, with clean barrier semantics — stage two doesn't start until everything in stage one has finished.
- Keyboard-accessible controls sit alongside drag-and-drop, so the board works however you work.
- Smart warnings flag parallel tasks that would contend for the same pipeline, before you hit run.
A nightly workflow that used to take an hour of sequential execution can now finish in the time of its slowest stage. Stage boards cover the large majority of orchestration patterns we see — and full dependency graphs are on the roadmap for the rest.
