Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Trigger#

New Job Run Event (Instant) on dbt Cloud

Description:Emit new event when a job run has started, errored, or completed.

Version:0.0.2

Key:dbt-new-job-run-event

View on GitHub

dbt Cloud Overview#

The dbt Cloud API allows users to initiate jobs, check on their status, and interact with dbt Cloud programmatically. On Pipedream, you can harness this functionality to automate workflows, such as triggering dbt runs, monitoring your data transformation jobs, and integrating dbt Cloud with other data services. By leveraging Pipedream's serverless platform, you can create custom workflows that act on dbt Cloud events or use the dbt Cloud API to manage your data transformation processes seamlessly.

Trigger Code#

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
dbt Cloud	`dbt`	`app`	This component uses the dbt Cloud app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
Account	`accountId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Event Types	`eventTypes`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`job.run.completedjob.run.startedjob.run.errored`

Trigger Authentication#

dbt Cloud uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your dbt Cloud account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to dbt Cloud APIs in both code and no-code steps.
