How to Reset the Dataflow Definition JSON in CRM Analytics

Important: Before resetting, back up the existing Dataflow Definition JSON file so you can restore it if needed.

Step 1 — Download the Existing Dataflow Definition

1. In CRM Analytics Studio, click the Gear icon and select Data Manager to open the Monitor.
2. In the lower-left corner, click Manage Dataflows.
3. Select Dataflows & Recipes.
4. In the dropdown actions menu for the target Dataflow, click Download. Save the file with a descriptive, time-stamped name (for example, Dataflow_06-02-2026.json).

Step 2 — Create and Upload a Blank JSON File

1. In a text editor or JSON editor, create a new file containing only the following content: { } (two curly braces with a space between them — this is a valid, empty JSON object).
2. Save the file with a clear name such as blank_dataflow.json.
3. In CRM Analytics Studio, click the Gear icon and select Data Manager.
4. Navigate to Dataflows & Recipes.
5. In the actions list for the target Dataflow, click Upload. Locate and upload the blank JSON file you created.
6. After uploading, run the Dataflow. Running the blank Dataflow clears the existing definition.

Note: This process does not remove existing datasets. If you need to remove datasets created by the original Dataflow, you must delete them separately. Any existing dashboards and lenses built on removed datasets will also need to be updated or removed.
