Dext
Cloud accounting platform that provides you with real-time data and accurate insights.
Integrate the Dext API with the Snowflake API
Setup the Dext API trigger to run a workflow which integrates with the Snowflake API. Pipedream's integration platform allows you to integrate Dext and Snowflake remarkably fast. Free for developers.

Overview of Dext#
The Dext API allows you to automate the management of expenses, receipts, and invoices within your Dext account. With Pipedream, you can harness this API to create workflows that streamline your finance operations, such as extracting data from receipts, categorizing expenses, and syncing financial documents across various platforms. By connecting Dext with other apps through Pipedream, you can craft efficient, serverless workflows that save time and reduce manual data entry.
Connect Dext#
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
dext: {
type: "app",
app: "dext",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.xavier-analytics.com/clients`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.dext.$auth.api_token}`,
},
})
},
})
Overview of Snowflake#
Snowflake offers a cloud database and related tools to help developers create robust, secure, and scalable data warehouses. See Snowflake's Key Concepts & Architecture.
Getting Started
1. Create a user, role and warehouse in Snowflake
Snowflake recommends you create a new user, role, and warehouse when you integrate a third-party tool like Pipedream. This way, you can control permissions via the user / role, and separate Pipedream compute and costs with the warehouse. You can do this directly in the Snowflake UI.
We recommend you create a read-only account if you only need to query Snowflake. If you need to insert data into Snowflake, add permissions on the appropriate objects after you create your user.
2. Enter those details in Pipedream
Visit https://pipedream.com/accounts. Click the button to Connect an App. Enter the required Snowflake account data.
You'll only need to connect your account once in Pipedream. You can connect this account to multiple workflows to run queries against Snowflake, insert data, and more.
3. Build your first workflow
Visit https://pipedream.com/new to build your first workflow. Pipedream workflows let you connect Snowflake with 1,000+ other apps. You can trigger workflows on Snowflake queries, sending results to Slack, Google Sheets, or any app that exposes an API. Or you can accept data from another app, transform it with Python, Node.js, Go or Bash code, and insert it into Snowflake.
