# Hex

> Trigger Hex project runs from Paradime Bolt schedules so notebooks, data apps, and reports refresh automatically after each dbt™ model run.

[Hex](https://hex.tech/) is a collaborative platform for data notebooks, analytics, and data apps. Trigger it from a Paradime Bolt schedule with the Paradime CLI, so it runs as part of your pipeline.

## What you can do

* Trigger one or more Hex projects by project ID
* Pass run inputs with input parameters

## Prerequisites

* A Hex API token generated in your Hex workspace settings.

## Set up

Paradime authenticates to Hex with an API token. Set them as [Bolt schedule environment variables](/products/settings/environment-variables/bolt-schedule-env-variables):

| Variable        | Required | Description                                          |
| --------------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| `HEX_API_TOKEN` | Required | Hex API token, found in your Hex workspace settings. |
| `HEX_BASE_URL`  | Optional | Hex base URL. Default: `https://app.hex.tech`.       |

## Trigger from Bolt

Add the [Run Hex Project](/products/bolt/creating-schedules/command-settings/hex-project) command to a schedule. For the full command reference, flags, and examples, see the [Hex CLI](/developers/paradime-cli/hex-cli).
