Summary

At CARTO, a new feature has been unveiled that connects Workflows and Builder, enabling users to create interactive maps directly from a Workflow, streamlining data pipeline between analysis and visualization. This integration allows for the generation of "live maps" that are always powered by the most up-to-date data in workflows, reducing manual effort and ensuring consistency. The Create Builder Map component supports three flexible modes, allowing users to update an existing map, regenerate a new one from scratch, or create a copy with different styling. This feature is ideal for analysts who want quick visualizations, developers building internal tools, or teams needing standardized, repeatable map outputs, as maps are always powered by analysis and updated automatically when changes occur in the Workflow's data sources. The integration enables automation of map creation and updating, ensuring decision-makers always see the most up-to-date geospatial picture, and is particularly useful for teams that rely on dashboards to monitor evolving metrics.
