Snowflake ACTION

Start SQL Session

Start a Snowflake session and return it in serialized form, so subsequent Snowflake actions can run in the same session (preserving temporary tables, USE context, and session parameters) by passing it to their Session prop. The returned value contains session auth tokens — treat it as sensitive. Sessions expire server-side after ~4 hours or your account's idle timeout. See the documentation

IMPLEMENTATION

Call this tool

Connect a user's Snowflake account once, then configure and run Start SQL Session from your backend or agent.

import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "snowflake-start-sql-session",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    snowflake: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
  },
})

console.log(result)
