Nango
The open-source unified API.
Integrate the Nango API with the Snowflake API
Setup the Nango API trigger to run a workflow which integrates with the Snowflake API. Pipedream's integration platform allows you to integrate Nango and Snowflake remarkably fast. Free for developers.
Popular Nango and Snowflake Triggers#
Overview of Nango#
The Nango API is a bridge for integrating with SaaS apps, smoothing out authentication and API call complexities. On Pipedream, you can harness Nango to automate interactions between various services without getting bogged down by the nuances of OAuth flows or API intricacies. Use Nango to authenticate once, and let Pipedream workflows handle the rest, executing tasks, syncing data, and triggering actions across apps efficiently.
Connect Nango#
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
nango: {
type: "app",
app: "nango",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.nango.dev/config `,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.nango.$auth.nango_secret_key}`,
},
})
},
})
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.
