Trigger Hightouch Syncs

Learn how to automatically trigger Hightouch syncs when your dbt™ runs complete successfully in Bolt. This integration helps data teams maintain synchronized data by sending fresh data to operational tools immediately after successful pipeline runs.

---

What You'll Get

When a run succeeds, Bolt automatically triggers your Hightouch sync:

• Webhook sent to Hightouch API endpoint

• Sync executes with your configured mappings

• Updated data flows to your operational tools (Salesforce, HubSpot, etc.)

---

Key Benefits for Data Teams

• Eliminate manual sync triggers - No more logging into Hightouch after each dbt™ run

• Accelerate data activation - Fresh operational data available in minutes, not hours

• Prevent stale data in business tools - Ensure sales and marketing always use today's data

• Scale reverse ETL operations - Automate the data flow that powers customer-facing applications

Prerequisites for Hightouch Integration

• Existing Bolt schedule

• Hightouch account with configured sync(s)

• Admin access to Hightouch workspace

Setup Guide

Set up Hightouch sync triggering for successful runs. Follow the steps below, and watch our interactive tutorial.

Step 1: Gather Your Hightouch Information

1. Get Your Sync Slug:

   • Go to your Hightouch Sync and find your Sync Slug in the overview section

   • Copy Sync Slug

2. Generate Your API Key:

   • Select your Hightouch Sync Webhook

   • Check the Endpoints tab to verify the webhook triggered

   • Verify in Hightouch that your sync has started
