# 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
  {% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Prerequisites for Hightouch Integration**

* Existing [Bolt schedule](https://app.paradime.io/bolt)
* 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](https://hightouch.com/docs/syncs/overview#run-details)
   * Copy Sync Slug
2. **Generate Your API Key**:
   * Follow [Hightouch documentation](https://hightouch.com/docs/developer-tools/api-guide#create-an-api-key) to create API Key
   * Copy your API key and store it in a safe location (the key will only be displayed once)

**Step 2: Configure the Webhook in Bolt**

1. From the [Bolt](https://app.paradime.io/bolt) home screen, go to [Templates](https://app.paradime.io/bolt/templates)
2. Click **Reverse ETL** and select the "Trigger Hightouch Sync" template
3. Fill in the following fields:
   * **Select Schedules**: Choose the schedules for which you want to trigger this webhook. Leave blank or select all for all schedules without filtering
   * **Sync Slug**: Enter the Sync Slug you copied from Hightouch
   * **API Key**: Enter the API key you generated in Hightouch
4. Click "Connect"

**Step 3: Test the Integration**

1. Run a Bolt schedule manually (the webhook triggers only on successful runs)
2. After the run succeeds:
   * From the Bolt homescreen, go to [Webhooks](https://app.paradime.io/bolt/webhook)
   * Select your Hightouch Sync Webhook
   * Check the Endpoints tab to verify the webhook triggered
   * Verify in Hightouch that your sync has started
