After you connect Hex, Elementary will automatically and continuously extend the lineage to the project & cell level. This will provide you end-to-end data lineage to understand your downstream dependencies, called exposures.

​
Create API Token

Elementary needs a workspace token in your account in order to access Hex’s API on your behalf.
To create one, please follow the official Hex documentation. Make sure you create a Hex Workspace token with read access for all categories and “read project queried tables”.

​
Connecting Hex to Elementary

Navigate to the Account settings > Environments and choose the environment to which you would like to connect Hex. Choose the Hex connection and provide the following details to validate and complete the integration.
  • Base URL: Your Hex workspace URL. For example: https://app.hex.tech/my-workspace/
  • Workspace Token: The Hex workspace token you’ve created on the previous step.

​
Limitations

  • Hex assets will only be visible if their project has run within the last 14 days. Elementary tracks Hex query history to determine asset visibility, and only projects with recent execution activity will appear in the lineage graph.
