dbt Integration with Workstream.io

Workstream integrates with your dbt cloud project. Once connected, Workstream automatically syncs exposures to show real-time monitoring of data quality and freshness alongside your existing analytics tools. Should data issues arise with critical assets, get automatically notified to see which underlying models or sources have an issue, and view assets to see what is happening. Since Workstream supports many analytics tools, you can now streamline access to assets and tracking of underlying data issues in a single place. Never again ask or answer questions such as “Does this look right?” or “How do I use this?"
