# TextUs - How do I link my account?
## Overview
To authenticate with TextUs, you need:
1. **API Token** — A token that grants Nango permission to call the TextUs API on your behalf, scoped to the user that creates it.
This guide will walk you through finding this within TextUs.
### Prerequisites
* An account with [TextUs](https://next.textus.com).
### Step 1: Generate an API token
1. Log in to [account](https://next.textus.com).
2. Click your user icon in the top right, then click **Profile**.
3. In the sidebar, click **Advanced user settings**, then **API Tokens**.
4. Enter a description for the token and click **Create Token**.
5. Copy the generated token immediately — TextUs only shows it once.
Your token never expires. It is tied to the user that created it, and only that user can revoke it (also from the **API Tokens** page).
### Step 2: Enter credentials in the Connect UI
Once you have your **API Token**:
1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with TextUs.
2. Enter your **API Token** in its respective field.
3. Submit the form, and you should be successfully authenticated.
You are now connected to TextUs.
