Transformations: Allow for customization of dbt command

Answered
Aaron Gibralter User

Currently integrated scheduling is only supported via transformations set up in the UI. Transformations set up in the UI allow for no customization of the command that gets run, which is simply `dbt run --models +the_model`. This does not run seeds. It would be great if this could be `dbt build` instead. Or even better, if it could be customized to whatever set of dbt commands we want. Even better, allow full access to the runtime (docker image customization, etc.).

    @Aaron there are two features here that we are scoping for Q3/Q4. One is the switch to dbt build, and the other is to enable integrated scheduling for scheduled in code transformations. Which would provide more value to you in the short term?

    @Anna, hmm really hard to say: both are pretty critical, but the ability to customize the dbt command (`dbt build`) is a show-stopper.
