## Setup Guide

Follow these steps to connect Backlog to your Connect AI account:

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Open the **Sources** page of the Connect AI navigation menu.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Click **+ Add Connection** in the upper-right corner.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Type *Backlog* into the search field, then click the data source name.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    On the **Basic Settings** tab of the new connection, enter a connection name or keep the default name.

## Authentication Methods

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="APIToken">
    <Steps>
      <Step>
        Enter the following information:

        * **Api Key**—the API key that allows you to make requests to the Backlog API. You can generate this key by opening the Settings page in Backlog and selecting the **API** section.
        * **URL**—the URL of the Backlog account.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        At the top of the Connect AI **Add {title_0} Connection** page, click **Save & Test**.

        * If the connection test succeeds, a **Connection successfully saved** message appears, indicating that your connection has been created. The **Status** on the **Edit Connection** page also changes to **Authenticated**. View the data model of your successful connection in the right pane of the **Edit Connection** page, in the **Data Model** tab.
        * If the connection test fails, ensure that you entered your login information correctly with no stray spaces or other characters. Connect AI displays error messages under the required fields with missing data. Some data sources require that you sign in directly to the source website. If you did not, an error message appears under the **Sign in** button. Correct the errors and try again.
        * Unsuccessful connections are saved as drafts and have a **Status** of **Not Authenticated**. You can return to the connection and authenticate it later.
      </Step>
    </Steps>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="OAuth">
    <Steps>
      <Step>
        Enter the following information:

        * **OAuth Client Id**—the **OAuth Client Id** assigned when you registered your Backlog account for OAuth.
        * **OAuth Client Secret**—the client secret assigned when you register your Backlog account for OAuth.
        * **URL**—the URL of the Backlog account.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        At the top of the Connect AI **Add {title_1} Connection** page, click **Save & Test**.

        * If the connection test succeeds, a **Connection successfully saved** message appears, indicating that your connection has been created.
