      <ol>
        <li>Open the <strong>Connections</strong> page of the {siteNameShort} dashboard.</li>
        <li>Click <strong>Add Connection</strong> to open the <strong>Select Connectors</strong> page.</li>
        <li>
          Click the <strong>{destination ? "Destinations" : "Sources"}</strong> tab and locate
          the <strong>{title}</strong> row.
        </li>
        <li>
          Click the <strong>Configure Connection</strong> icon at the end of that row to open
          the <strong>New Connection</strong> page. This action opens the{' '}
          <strong>Add Connection</strong> dialog box.
          <br />
          <strong>Note:</strong> If the <strong>Configure Connection</strong> icon is not
          available, click the <strong>Download Connector</strong> icon to install
          the {title} connector.
        </li>
        <li>Enter a name for your connection in the <strong>Add Connection</strong> dialog box.</li>
        <li>Click <strong>Add</strong> to open the <strong>Settings</strong> tab for your connector.</li>

## Add the Act-On Connector

<CommonDatasourceAddConnector datasource={datasource} title={pageTitle} destination={false} siteNameShort={siteNameShort} />

## Authenticate to Act-On

After you add the connector, you need to set the required properties.

{siteName} supports authenticating to {datasource} in two ways. Select your authentication method below to proceed to the relevant section that contains the authentication details.

* [**OAuth**](#oauth) (default)
* [**OAuth Password**](#oauth-password)

### OAuth

<CommonAuthSchemeOauthEmbedded siteName={siteName} siteNameShort={siteNameShort} datasource={datasource} />

### OAuth Password

<CommonAuthSchemeOauthPassword siteName={siteName} siteNameShort={siteNameShort} datasource={datasource} />

## Complete Your Connection

To complete your connection:

1. (Optional) For **Type Detection Scheme**, select the detection scheme that you want to use to determine the data type of columns.
   * **None:** Select this detection scheme to return all columns as the string type.
   * (Default) **RowScan:** Select this detection scheme to determine the data type heuristically.
2. Define advanced connection settings on the **Advanced** tab. (In most cases, though, you should not need these settings.)
3. {oauthschemes ? `If you authenticate with ${oauthschemes}, click` : "Click"} **Connect to {datasource}** to connect to your {pageTitle} account.
4. Click **Create & Test** to create your connection.
