Set up environment variables for use by DinoAI during background agent sessions when executing dbt™, Python, and CLI commands.
Important Notes:
  • These variables only apply to the DinoAI background agent environment
  • Agent sessions also get the workspace’s Default variables. A value set for the agent’s environment wins on a name collision
  • They do not affect Bolt schedules
  • For Bolt schedule environment variables, see Bolt Schedules Environment Variables
  • For Code IDE development environment variables, see Code IDE Environment Variables

Setup Instructions

  1. From any page in the Paradime application, click Settings
  2. Navigate to Workspaces > Environment Variables
  3. In the DinoAI Background Agent section, click Add New
  4. Configure your variable:
    • Enter Key name
    • Enter Value
    • Click Save icon (💾)

Bulk upload environment variables

Instead of adding environment variables one at a time, you can upload multiple variables at once using a CSV file. To bulk upload variables:
  1. From any page in the Paradime application, click Settings
  2. Navigate to Workspaces > Environment Variables
  3. In the DinoAI Background Agent section, click Bulk Upload
  4. Drag and drop your CSV file or click to select a file
  5. Review and confirm the upload
Preparing your CSV file The CSV file must have a header row with the columns “Key” and “Value”. The header row should avoid containing any punctuation (apart from the commas separating each column) or the importer may not work correctly.
The “Key” and “Value” columns should NOT have spaces. Your CSV file should look like this:
