Snowflake API Integrations
Build and run workflows using the Snowflake API. Use 1000s of source-available triggers and actions across 2,000+ apps. Or write custom code to integrate any app or API in seconds.
Overview#
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.

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

Enter the username, password, and other details below. The account field expects your Snowflake account identifier. You may need to include the full identifier and region as a part of this string, e.g. au12345.us-east-1. Please consult your instance and Snowflake docs for more detail.
