# Sync Airbyte Connection

> Add a Sync Airbyte Connection command to a Paradime Bolt schedule to trigger connector syncs, then run dbt™ transformations on the fresh data.

Trigger Airbyte connector syncs from a Bolt schedule so your warehouse has the latest source data before your dbt™ models run. Add dbt™ commands to the same schedule to transform right after the sync, or run a separate dbt™ pipeline with the [On run completion trigger](/products/bolt/creating-schedules/trigger-types#on-run-completion).

## Prerequisites

* Airbyte connected to Paradime: [Airbyte Cloud](/integrations/airbyte/airbyte-cloud) or [Airbyte Server](/integrations/airbyte/airbyte-server). You need a **Client ID** and **Client Secret** (plus your API base URL for self-hosted).
* The connection exists and is enabled in Airbyte, with valid source and destination credentials.
* Set these as [Bolt environment variables](/products/settings/environment-variables/bolt-schedule-env-variables):
  * `AIRBYTE_CLIENT_ID`
  * `AIRBYTE_CLIENT_SECRET`
  * `AIRBYTE_BASE_URL` (Airbyte Server only)
  * `USE_SERVER_AUTH` (Airbyte Server only)

<Check>
  Set the Airbyte connection's **Schedule Type** to **Manual** in the Airbyte UI, so syncs run only when Paradime triggers them.

  <Accordion title="Set an Airbyte connection to Manual">
    1. In Airbyte, open **Connections** and select the connection.
    2. In its settings, set **Schedule Type** to **Manual**.
    3. Click **Save changes**.
  </Accordion>
</Check>

## Usage

Add the **Sync Airbyte Connection** command to your schedule, then:

1. Enter one or more **Connection IDs** (for example, `conn_123`). Use **Add connection** to sync several in parallel; the schedule continues to the next command only once all syncs finish.
2. Choose the **Job type**: **Sync** to run the connection, or **Reset** to clear its data and re-sync.
3. Click **Add command**.

For options beyond the UI, or to run syncs from a pipeline, see the [Paradime Airbyte CLI](/developers/paradime-cli/airbyte-cli).
