Building AI Apps with Multi-Modal File Uploads

Learn how to build an AI-powered file analysis application that processes images, documents, and audio/video files using Snowflake Cortex AI and Sigma's file upload features.

API Actions has arrived!

To get you up-to-speed learning this new feature, here are three QuickStarts:

API Actions – Getting Started

This QuickStart introduces Sigma API Actions, showing how to connect Sigma workbooks directly to external REST APIs — starting with the free, no-auth Open-Meteo Weather API.

WHY IT MATTERS: This is Sigma's first API Actions walkthrough, designed to help internal teams and early testers learn the fundamentals. It shows how developers and data teams can call live APIs directly from a Sigma workbook—no middleware or code hosting required—unlocking dynamic, real-time data app use cases.

Integrate Salesforce using API Actions

Use Sigma API Actions to connect to Salesforce's REST API using an authenticated, enterprise-style pattern (OAuth + dynamic parameters), then surface live Salesforce data directly inside a Sigma workbook.

An API PATCH is demonstrated to update Opportunity Stage in Salesforce and refresh the data automatically.

WHY IT MATTERS: This is the "no ETL, no data load" integration pattern—query Salesforce live, interact with the results in Sigma, and optionally write changes back to the system of record. It's a realistic blueprint for operational analytics and lightweight workflows where freshness matters.

Integrate JIRA using API Actions

This QuickStart demonstrates integrating JIRA's REST API with Sigma using Basic Authentication and API Actions, building a complete bidirectional integration.

The integration pattern includes both read (query issues) and write (update status) operations, with automatic data refresh after updates.

WHY IT MATTERS: This demonstrates the full potential of API Actions for operational workflows—not just reading data from external systems, but writing changes back and maintaining bidirectional sync. The pattern works for any REST API using Basic Authentication (ServiceNow, Zendesk, GitHub, etc.), showing how business users can interact with SaaS platforms directly from Sigma without ETL pipelines or custom middleware.
