If you've already invested in modeling business data in Sigma, you may want to use your Sigma workbooks as the basis for Hightouch models.
When you import a model from Sigma, Hightouch converts your workbook element into a SQL query and runs it directly against your data warehouse. As you publish changes in Sigma, your Hightouch model updates to reflect the latest version of your Sigma workbook.
This extension uses Sigma as a modeling method, not a data source. In other words, Sigma provides the SQL query, not the query results. Before enabling this extension, you must first create a source in Hightouch that connects to the same data warehouse used by Sigma.
Supported sources
You can create models based on Sigma workbooks for the following sources:
Connect to Sigma
In Hightouch, go to the Sigma configuration page in Extensions.
Enter the following fields:
- Sigma cloud - Follow these instructions to find your Sigma cloud.
- Client ID - Follow these instructions to find your client ID.
- Client secret - Follow these instructions to create a secret tied to your client ID. Make sure to create an API token rather than Embed secret.
Build models
After configuring your Sigma credentials, you can create a model using a source that supports Sigma. Select your source and then choose Import Model from Sigma as your modeling method.
On the next screen, you can select which Sigma Workbook, Page, and Element to build your Hightouch model off of. Click View SQL to see the query that Hightouch executes on your data warehouse. Make sure to click Preview to preview your results before finishing your model setup.
