How Tallyfy Analytics works
Tallyfy Analytics provides near real-time data processing that enables robust business intelligence capabilities through a streamlined data pipeline. This article explains the technical architecture and data flow from process events to your analytics dashboard.
The Tallyfy Analytics pipeline consists of five main stages that transform raw process events into analytics-ready data:
- Event detection - API activities trigger data capture
- Data extraction - Complete process objects are exported
- Data transformation - Files are converted to optimized formats
- Secure storage - Data is stored in dedicated cloud infrastructure
- Analytics access - BI tools connect through standard interfaces
When specific events occur in Tallyfy (task completion, process status changes, form submissions), the system identifies these as analytics-eligible events. The Analytics service receives notification of these events in near real-time.
For each qualifying event, Tallyfy exports a complete snapshot of the affected process, including:
- Process metadata (owner, status, timestamps)
- Task details and relationships
- Form field submissions
- Assignment information
- Comments and issues
This data is initially formatted as a comprehensive CSV file with all relevant fields.
The CSV data is automatically converted to Apache Parquet format, which provides:
- Column-oriented storage for efficient querying
- Compression to reduce storage requirements
- Performance optimization for analytical workloads
- Compatibility with major BI platforms
Transformed data files are stored in:
- Storage layer: Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service)
- Access control: Organization-specific private folders
- Security: AWS security protocols and access controls
- Retention: Data maintained according to subscription terms
Tallyfy provides AWS IAM credentials that enable:
- Direct connection to Amazon Athena query service
- SQL-based access to your process data
- Integration with standard BI tool connectors
- Customizable queries and data visualization
The diagram below illustrates the complete data flow from Tallyfy to your BI tools:
- Analytics data processing begins only after the feature is activated for your organization
- IAM credentials are provided upon activation
- Data is accessible through standard JDBC/ODBC drivers
- Custom integration options are available for specialized needs
For customized data targets or unique requirements, contact Tallyfy support to discuss implementation options.
The Tableau integration enables direct visualization of Tallyfy Analytics workflow data through interactive dashboards while offering live connectivity drag-and-drop functionality and automated data refreshes for comprehensive business process analysis.
Analytics > Why use BI platforms vs. native analytics?
A strategic approach to maximize workflow data insights through integration with specialized BI platforms while maintaining data ownership and leveraging existing analytics investments rather than building limited native solutions.
Microsoft Power BI connects to Tallyfy Analytics through Amazon Athena to enable creation of interactive dashboards and custom reports for analyzing workflow data and business metrics using token-based authentication.
