# Leapsome - How do I link my account?

# Overview

To authenticate with Leapsome, you need:

1. **API Secret** - A secret from your Leapsome admin page. Nango exchanges it for a short-lived JWT access token behind the scenes and refreshes it automatically.

This guide will walk you through getting your **API Secret** from Leapsome.

### Prerequisites

* An active Leapsome account with administrator access.

### Instructions

#### Step 1: Getting your API secret

1. Log in to Leapsome as an administrator and go to **Settings → Integrations and imports → Content API**.
2. Click **Create API Secret**. The secret appears above the button — copy it.

<Note>
  This is the **Content API** secret (used for the Reviews, Goals, Employee, Payroll, and Time Tracking endpoints). It's separate from Leapsome's SCIM API token, which is used only for user provisioning — don't mix the two up.
</Note>

#### Step 2: Enter credentials in the Connect UI

Once you have your **API Secret**:

1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with Leapsome.
2. Enter your **API Secret** in the field provided.
3. Submit the form, and you should be successfully authenticated.
