Authentication

To authenticate Orchestra to Hex, you need to create a Personal Access Token ("PAT"). Head over to the top right-hand corner of Hex and select account settings. You can then select API keys and go from there.

Prerequisites

To connect Hex to Orchestra, you will need:

• a Hex account

• a Hex user that will execute every query on behalf of Orchestra. We recommend creating a new user specifically for Orchestra

Instructions

Create a Personal access token

• To enable personal access tokens, your Admin must enable API Access.

• Navigate to your account settings and select API keys from the sidebar.

• Click New token

• Enter a description and the expiration

• Click Generate token

• Copy the token into the Personal access token field in the Orchestra New integration credential page

Enter a Project Id

Orchestra needs a Project Id at this point to assert your API key is valid. You can override this value in the Orchestra UI later when creating a Run Hex project task.

• Navigate to your Hex account and open a project

• Select 'Variables' from the sidebar

• The projectId is listed as hex_project_id in the list of variables
