What it does

This workflow maintains one canonical PII register across multiple warehouses. It scans both BigQuery and Snowflake, deduplicates and records each newly appeared sensitive column as a row in an Airtable governance register, and sends stewards a single digest rather than a flood of per-column alerts.

When to use it

Use it when sensitive data lives in more than one warehouse and you need a unified, auditable inventory of every PII field plus its review status, instead of scattered tickets across teams.

How it works

  1. 1A scheduled run kicks off the multi-warehouse sweep.
  2. 2The workflow queries column metadata and samples from BigQuery and Snowflake in parallel.
  3. 3It diffs each source against its stored baseline in Postgres and classifies new columns for PII.
  4. 4Findings are merged and deduplicated across warehouses into a normalized set.
  5. 5Each new sensitive column is upserted as a row in the Airtable register with source, category, and an open review status.
  6. 6A consolidated drift digest is posted to Slack so stewards see the full week's changes at a glance.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect BigQueryDatasets, queries, schemas.
  2. 2
    Connect SnowflakeWarehouses, queries, shares.
  3. 3
    Connect PostgresAny Postgres URL — query, write, migrate.
  4. 4
    Connect AirtableBases, tables, views, automations.
  5. 5
    Connect SlackChannels, DMs, threads, mentions.
  6. 6
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  7. 7
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  8. 8
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
