# Airbyte Cloud

> Connect your managed Airbyte Cloud workspace to Paradime using OAuth client credentials so you can orchestrate ELT syncs alongside your dbt runs.

Connect your managed Airbyte Cloud workspace to Paradime. Once connected, Airbyte sources and connections appear in the [catalog](/products/data-catalog/asset-details/airbyte) and you can [trigger syncs from Bolt](/products/bolt/creating-schedules/command-settings/airbyte-connector-sync).

## Prerequisites

* An active Airbyte Cloud workspace.
* Account Administrator or workspace owner permissions in Airbyte.

## Step 1: Generate API credentials

Airbyte Cloud lets you create multiple applications, each with its own client ID and secret.

1. Log in to your Airbyte Cloud workspace as a user with the Account Administrator or workspace owner role.
2. Navigate to **Settings** by clicking the gear icon in the bottom left corner.
3. Select the **Applications** tab.
4. Click **Create New Application**.
5. Enter a name (e.g. `Paradime Integration`) and click **Create**.
6. Copy the **Client ID** and **Client Secret**.

<Warning>
  The Client Secret is only displayed once. Copy and store it securely before closing the dialog.
</Warning>

## Step 2: Connect in Paradime

A Paradime Admin sets the credentials as [environment variables](/products/settings/environment-variables/bolt-schedule-env-variables) before connecting.

1. In Paradime, go to **Workspace Settings → Environment Variables**.
2. Add these two variables:
   * `AIRBYTE_CLIENT_ID`: your Airbyte Cloud Client ID
   * `AIRBYTE_CLIENT_SECRET`: your Airbyte Cloud Client Secret
3. Click **Save**.

## Connection parameters

| Environment variable    | Required | Description                                           |
| ----------------------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| `AIRBYTE_CLIENT_ID`     | ✅        | The client ID from your Airbyte Cloud application     |
| `AIRBYTE_CLIENT_SECRET` | ✅        | The client secret from your Airbyte Cloud application |
