Creating Schedules

Step-by-step guide to creating automated dbt workflows in Paradime Bolt, including configuration options and best practices.

Paradime's Bolt Schedules allows you to automate your dbt™ workflows either through our intuitive UI or as code using YAML configuration. Choose the method that best fits your team's workflow to create reliable, efficient data pipelines.

To get started, Paradime provides a set of pre-configured Templates that cover common dbt™ scheduling and workflow needs. These templates can be used as-is or customized to suit your specific requirements.

Setup Process

⚙️ 1. Schedule Settings

Set up your schedule type (Standard, Deferred, Turbo), branch selection, and core configuration for automated dbt™ jobs.

🔧 2. Command Settings

Configure which dbt™ commands to run (dbt run, test, seed, etc.) and how they should be executed in your schedule.

⏰ 3. Trigger Types

Define when your schedule runs: on a time schedule, after other jobs complete, on merge events, or via API calls.

🔔 4. Notification Settings

Set up notifications via email, Slack, or Microsoft Teams for schedule success, failures, and SLA breaches.

🛠️ 5. Environment Variables Overrides

Override your Bolt environment variable values for specific schedules

The Bolt documentation primarily covers creating schedules through the Bolt UI. For teams preferring YAML-based configurations for Bolt schedules, see section Schedules as Code.
