# Nexthink - How do I link my account?

# Overview

To authenticate with Nexthink, you need:

1. **Instance Name** - The name of your Nexthink instance.
2. **Region** - Your Nexthink region where your instance is hosted.
3. **Client ID** - Your Nexthink API Client ID.
4. **Client Secret** - Your Nexthink API Client Secret.

This guide walks you through creating API credentials in Nexthink and connecting your account.

### Prerequisites

* Admin access to your Nexthink instance
* The Nexthink Infinity platform (Cloud)

### Instructions

#### Step 1: Locate your instance name and region

Your Nexthink instance URL (FQDN) follows one of these patterns depending on your platform type:

| Platform     | Pattern                                   |
| ------------ | ----------------------------------------- |
| Cloud-native | `<instance>.data.<region>.nexthink.cloud` |
| Classic      | `<instance>.<region>.nexthink.cloud`      |

For example, if your FQDN is `nxdocs.data.eu.nexthink.cloud`, then:

* **Instance name**: `nxdocs`
* **Region**: `eu`

Available regions:

* `us` — United States
* `eu` — European Union
* `pac` — Asia-Pacific
* `meta` — Middle East, Turkey and Africa

#### Step 2: Create API credentials

1. Log in to the Nexthink web interface.
2. Select **Administration** from the main menu.
3. Click **API credentials** in the navigation panel under the **Account Management** section.

4. Click **New OAuth client credentials** in the top-right corner.
5. Fill in the form:
   * **Name**: use the name of the application calling the API.
   * **Description**: describe what service will use these credentials and why.
   * **Permissions**: select the features your integration needs:
     * **Remote Actions API** — trigger and query remote actions
     * **Enrichment API** — operate the enrichment feature
     * **Data management** — manage devices
     * **Workflows API** — trigger and query workflows
     * **Campaigns API** — trigger campaigns
     * **NQL API** — extract data
     * **Spark API** — transfer a live conversation to Spark
6. Click **Save and generate credentials**.

7. Copy the **Client ID** and **Secret key** using the Copy buttons in the modal that appears.

<Note>
  The credentials are shown only once. Copy them immediately and store them in your organization's secure vault — they cannot be retrieved after you close the modal. If lost, you must generate new credentials.
</Note>

#### Step 3: Enter credentials in the Connect UI

1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with Nexthink.
2. Enter your **Instance Name**, **Region**, **Client ID** and **Client Secret** in their respective fields.
3. Submit the form, and you should be successfully authenticated.
