What is a schema?

Every Kadoa workflow requires a data schema that defines:

  1. The entity to extract (e.g., products, jobs, news articles)
  2. The specific fields to capture (e.g., title, price, description)
  3. The format of the extracted data

What if you need the same schema for many workflows? The answer is templates.

​
What is a template?

Templates allow you to:

  • Standardize data schemas across multiple sources
  • Save time by reusing workflow blueprints
  • Ensure consistency in your data structure

​
How to create templates

There are two ways to create and manage templates:

​
1. Create a template from scratch

  • Create a new workflow using Auto-detect
  • Configure the workflow schema
  • Go to My Templates tab on your dashboard and click ‘Add New Template.’ You can now reuse a template from an existing workflow. Note: This option is currently not available for workflows that already use a pre-defined template.
  • Give your template a name and description
  • That’s it! You can now create workflows with this template, and the data will be automatically extracted and transformed into your desired format, regardless of the source.
  • Note: you can also do this via the Dashboard or workflow plage.

​
2. Customize a pre-built template

  • Navigate to My Templates page on your dashboard
  • Click “Add new template”
  • Choose a pre-defined template as a starting point, based on your use case (e.g., products, jobs, news)
  • Customize the template by adding, removing, or modifying fields
  • Save your customized template

​
Using your templates

When you create a new workflow, you can choose to use one of your templates.

​
Pre-built templates

Kadoa provides prebuilt templates for popular web sources and use cases. These templates come with a set of standard fields that Kadoa will extract, but you can still customize them based on your specific needs.
