Requirements

  • A Lightdash account for your organization
  • A Lightdash project to integrate with Sidecar
  • A Lightdash Personal Access Token (PAT)

​
1. Get your Instance URL and Project ID

Navigate to the general settings for your Lightdash project. The settings can be accessed by clicking the gear icon or directly via URL: 
https://{your_instance_url}/generalSettings/projectManagement/{your_project_uuid}/settings

​
2. Create a Personal Access Token

Sidecar needs a PAT to interact with the Lightdash API on your organization’s behalf.
  1. Navigate to the Personal Access Tokens page: 
    https://{your_instance_url}/generalSettings/personalAccessTokens
  2. Create a new token.
It is recommended that the PAT you configure for Sidecar is created with no expiration date. Save the PAT in a password manager — after you navigate away, you cannot view it again.

​
3. Connect Lightdash to Sidecar

  1. Go to the Integrations page in Sidecar.
  2. Find and click on the Lightdash integration under “Browse integrations”.
  3. Enter your Instance URL, Project ID, and PAT.
  4. Click Test then Save.
