# Pull-Push

A **Pull-Push** pattern represents a situation when a pipeline needs to retrieve (pull) data from one integration, do some processing, and forward (push) it to another destination.

This situation is typical for pipelines that are [run by a schedule](https://docs.ylem.co/pipelines/running-and-scheduling-workflows#automatically-by-a-schedule) and proactively pull data from [databases](https://docs.ylem.co/pipelines/tasks-ip/query) or [API Endpoints](https://docs.ylem.co/pipelines/tasks-ip/api-call) instead of being triggered from outside.

In this example, the pipeline pulls data from a database, checks that the dataset is not empty, does some processing for each of the items, and pushes them to another database one by one.
