Configure the Connection

1. Name the connection and optionally provide a description.

This step will be skipped if creating a new connection while creating a Data Destination or Data Source, as the connection will automatically be linked to the FormSpace FormSpaces are where forms are stored and organized in the TrueContext Web Portal. A TrueContext Team may have multiple FormSpaces, depending on their needs. Admins can set FormSpace permissions to control which users have access to the forms in that FormSpace. the Data Destination or Data Source is in.

3. Select the Connect button and enter the credentials to associate your TrueContext account with your account. When prompted, allow TrueContext to access your information.

   In TrueContext, when you set up a Connection, you enter the account credentials for the third-party system. Once you save the Connection, it becomes available to TrueContext and other users for Data Source and Data Destination setup. This means that other TrueContext users on your team can fetch and access data available to the third-party user account.

   Note:We recommend that you create a dedicated Integration User account for your third-party system and use that account to set up TrueContext Connections. Set up the Integration User with specific permissions and limited access to the third-party system data. This ensures that TrueContext Admin users and users with “Can Create” permissions can only access the data that they need.
