dbt Cloud setup is covered end to end in a single guide: Connect dbt Cloud with an API token.

That guide walks through the full flow, phase by phase:

  • Create a token - service account token or personal access token, with the permissions required for your dbt Cloud plan
  • Open the network path - allowlist Atlan's NAT IP if your dbt Cloud account restricts by IP
  • Connect in Atlan - enter your access URL and token, then test authentication
  • Scope and run - pick projects and environments, set connection admins, and crawl
