# GCP Cloud Functions

> Invoke Google Cloud Functions from Paradime Bolt schedules and the CLI so you can run serverless GCP code alongside your dbt jobs in a single pipeline.

[Google Cloud Functions](https://cloud.google.com/functions) is a serverless execution environment for running single-purpose functions in the cloud. Trigger Cloud Functions as part of your Paradime Bolt schedules using the Paradime CLI.

## What you can do

* Invoke one or more Cloud Functions by name, optionally sending a JSON payload and waiting for completion
* List all Cloud Functions available in a project and region

## Prerequisites

* `GCP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY_FILE`: path to a GCP service account JSON key file with permissions to invoke and list Cloud Functions
* `GCP_PROJECT_ID`: your GCP project ID
* `GCP_LOCATION`: GCP region (e.g. 'us-central1')

## Trigger from Bolt

Set your credentials as [environment variables](/products/settings/environment-variables/bolt-schedule-env-variables) on your Bolt schedule, then run the command as part of the schedule.

See the full command reference, flags, and examples in the [GCP Cloud Function CLI](/developers/paradime-cli/gcp-cloud-function-cli) documentation.
