> Create an ingestion workflow in Atlan to fetch data quality metadata from Bigeye and enrich your existing assets with DQ insights.

After you configure authentication credentials in Bigeye, create an ingestion workflow in Atlan to fetch data quality metadata. This workflow enriches your existing assets with data quality insights at the table and column level.

## Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

* Completed [Set up Bigeye](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/connectors/bigeye/set-up-bigeye/llms.txt)
* The following credentials:
 * **Host**: The base URL of your Bigeye instance
 * **Username**: The email address associated with the user
 * **Personal API Key**: The API key for a user that has at least Edit access to the target workspace
 * **Workspace ID**: The Bigeye workspace ID. You can find this in **Settings** > **Workspaces** in your Bigeye instance

## Create ingestion workflow

Create an ingestion workflow to fetch data quality metadata from Bigeye and enrich your existing assets. Configure authentication credentials and provide the workspace ID to identify the workspace to target when interacting with the Bigeye API.

1. In your Atlan workspace, click **Connectors** in the left sidebar.
 * If you are using the **Old UI (Classic)**, click **New Workflow** in the top navigation.

2. Click **Marketplace**.

3. Search for **Bigeye** and select it.

4. Click **Install**.

5. Once installation completes, click **Setup Workflow** on the same tile.

### Configure credentials

Provide your Bigeye API credentials to authenticate the connection.

1. Enter the base URL of your Bigeye instance in **Host**.

2. Enter the username in **Username**.

3. Enter the API key in **Personal API Key**.

4. Click **Test Authentication** to verify connectivity to Bigeye.

5. After authentication succeeds, click **Next** at the bottom of the screen.

### Verify source mapping and user access

Verify user permissions and that at least one source contains a connection mapping.

1. Enter the Bigeye workspace ID in **Workspace ID**.

2. Click **Check** to verify user permissions and that at least one source contains a connection mapping.

### Run ingestion

Run the ingestion workflow to sync data quality metadata from Bigeye to your existing assets.

1. To check for any [permissions or other configuration issues](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/connectors/bigeye/preflight-checks-for-bigeye/llms.txt) before running the workflow, click **Check** to run the **Preflight checks**.

2. Choose how to run the ingestion:

 * Click **Run** to start a one-time sync of data quality metadata
 * Click **Schedule & Run** to set up automated recurring syncs

After ingestion completes, your existing Atlan assets are enriched with data quality metadata from Bigeye.
