No-Code
Getting Started
Setting up our No-Code CI integration is straightforward. Follow these three steps:
1. Create a repository integration
Integrate your code repository using the appropriate integration.
2. Create a No-Code integration
In the Datafold app, create a No-Code integration.
3. Set up the No-Code integration
Complete the configuration by specifying the following fields:
Basic settings
| Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Configuration name | Choose a name for your Datafold integration. |
| Repository | Select the repository you configured in step 1. |
| Data Connection | Select the data connection your repository writes to. |
Advanced settings: Configuration
| Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Pull Request Label | When this is selected, the Datafold CI process will only run when the ‘datafold’ label has been applied. |
| Custom base branch | If defined, the Datafold CI process will only run on pull requests with the specified base branch. |
4. Create a pull request and click Add data diffs to create a new Data Diff in the Datafold app.
5. Create a new Data Diff
Configure your data diff depending on the diff type:
6. Your Data Diff has been created! Add a summary of the downstream impact.
Click on Save and Add Preview to PR:
7. In your PR, view the Datafold bot’s comment:
8. Set up is now done:
Cloning diffs from the last CI run
When you update your SQL file again, note that clicking on the Add Data Diff button generates a new CI run in Datafold. You can now either:
- Create a new Data Diff from scratch
- Clone diffs from the last CI run
You can diff downstream by clicking on the Add Data Diff button in the Downstream Impact table. This creates an additional Data Diff:
When you add a summary of the downstream PR again, you’ll see that a second summary has been added to the Datafold bot’s comment in your PR.
