# Visions Awards - How do I link my account?

## Overview

To authenticate with Visions Awards, you need:

1. **Client ID** - the client identifier configured for your API access.
2. **Client Secret** - the client secret paired with it.

This guide will show you how to get them.

### Prerequisites

* API access to the Visions Awards V-Suite web API. The client credentials are configured by Visions Awards, so ask your Visions Awards contact for them.

### Step 1: Get your API client credentials

1. Ask your Visions Awards contact for the **Client ID** and **Client Secret** configured for API authentication.
2. Store the client secret somewhere safe: it gives access to your sales orders.

Nango sends both values to [`POST /api/auth/token`](https://webservices.visionsawards.com/proofs/Help/Api/POST-api-auth-token), which returns an access token for the other API calls. Wrong credentials are rejected there, so the connection is only created when they are valid.

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

1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with Visions Awards.
2. Enter your **Client ID** and **Client Secret**.
3. Submit the form, and you should be successfully authenticated.

You are now connected to Visions Awards.
