## Overview{% #overview %}

Datadog's Hightouch integration helps data teams understand how data flows from their data warehouse to downstream business tools and trace quality issues back to upstream sources. When Datadog connects, it:

- Pulls metadata from your Hightouch workspace, including syncs, models, and destinations.
- Generates lineage between source warehouse tables and destination objects across all active syncs.

Lineage granularity depends on the sync's model type:

- **Table-selector models** produce column-level lineage from the sync's field mappings.
- **dbt models** and **raw SQL models** produce table-level lineage.

**Note**: Lineage is derived from your data warehouse, so the Hightouch integration produces lineage only when at least one [supported data warehouse source](https://docs.datadoghq.com/data_observability/quality_monitoring/data_warehouses.md) is also connected to Datadog.

## Setup{% #setup %}

### Generate an API key{% #generate-an-api-key %}

Follow the [Hightouch API documentation](https://hightouch.com/docs/developer-tools/api-guide#create-an-api-key) to generate an API key with read access to your workspace.

### Add the Hightouch integration{% #add-the-hightouch-integration %}

To connect Hightouch to Datadog:

1. In Datadog, navigate to the [Hightouch integration tile](https://app.datadoghq.com/integrations/hightouch), then go to the **Configuration** tab.
1. Enter an **Account name** to identify this Hightouch account in Datadog. This can be any name you choose.
1. Enter your **API Key**.
1. Click **Create Account**.

## What's next{% #whats-next %}

After your Hightouch workspace is successfully connected, Datadog refreshes Hightouch metadata every 60 minutes and derives lineage from source warehouse tables to your destination objects across all active syncs.

After the initial setup, it can take up to 60 minutes for data to appear.

After the metadata refresh completes, you can explore your Hightouch destinations and their upstream dependencies in the [Data Observability Catalog](https://app.datadoghq.com/data-obs/catalog?platform=hightouch).
