Setting Up Your Dev Tier Account

Get started with the Ascend.io Dev Tier by connecting your Snowflake account.

Signup for Ascend.io

Go to ascend.io/signup.
Enter your first and last name, email address, and the name of the company you work for.
Choose your preferred authorization account.

Step 1: Connect to your Snowflake account

Enter your username and password for your Snowflake account.
Locate and enter your Snowflake account name.
Assign a Snowflake warehouse and a Snowflake database for Ascend to operate in. Both the warehouse and database must already exist in Snowflake.

📘
If you have entered your username, password, and Snowflake account correctly, the Warehouse and Database fields will automatically populate a drop-down menu. Place your cursor in the appropriate field to engage the drop-down and make your selection.
If no drop-down appears, you have either entered your user/account information incorrectly, or your username does not have access to any warehouses or databases. If your user/account information is correct and you should have access to warehouses or databases, please contact us via the circle icon in the bottom left corner of the screen.

Select Validate and Continue.
Once your Snowflake connection is validated, your account setup is complete. Ascend will only create/modify tables in the provided database using schemas prefixed with ASCEND_.

🚧
If you receive a validation error, contact us via the circle icon on the bottom left corner of the screen, or go back and correct any errors.

Step 2: Build a Dataflow

Ascend creates a Snowflake Read Connector and ingests the data from your connection database.
