Once you have configured the Fivetran user permissions, you can establish a connection between Atlan and Fivetran.
To enrich Atlan with metadata from Fivetran, complete the following steps.
Select the source
To select Fivetran as your source:
- In the top right of any screen, navigate to New and then click New Workflow.
- From the list of packages, select Fivetran Enrichment and click on Setup Workflow.
Provide credentials
To enter your Fivetran credentials:
- For API Key enter the API key you generated.
- For API Secret enter the API secret you generated.
- Click the Test Authentication button. This confirms you have entered a valid API key and secret pair to connect to Fivetran.
- When successful, in the Preflight checks box, click the Check button. This confirms your API key has both the Account Administrator role and access to Fivetran's metadata API.
- When successful, at the bottom of the screen click Next.
Configure the connection
To complete the Fivetran connection configuration:
- Provide a Connection Name that represents your source environment. For example, you might use values like
production,development,gold, oranalytics. - (Optional) To change the users able to manage this connection, change the users or groups listed under Connection Admins.
🚨 Careful! If you do not specify any user or group, nobody will be able to manage the connection — not even admins.
Run the enrichment
You can now enrich Atlan with Fivetran metadata.
- At the bottom of the screen, click Run to run the enrichment once, immediately.
- Click Schedule & Run to schedule the enrichment to run hourly, daily, weekly or monthly.
Once the enrichment has completed running, you will see lineage extended upstream from your data platform, warehouse, or lake! 🎉
