# Act-On

You can use the Act-On connector from the CData Sync application to capture data
from Act-On and move it to any supported destination. To do so, you need to add
the connector, authenticate to the connector, and complete your connection.

## Add the Act-On Connector

To enable Sync to use data from Act-On, you first must add the
connector, as follows:

<ol>
  <li>Open the **Connections** page of the Sync dashboard.</li>
  <li>Click **Add Connection** to open the **Select Connectors** page.</li>
  <li>Click the **Sources** tab and locate
  the **Act-On** row.</li>

  <li>
    Click the **Configure Connection** icon at the end of that row to open
    the **New Connection** page. This action opens the
    **Add Connection** dialog.

    **Note:** If the **Configure Connection** icon is not
    available, click the **Download Connector** icon to install
    the Act-On connector.
  </li>

  <li>Enter a name for your connection in the **Add Connection** dialog.</li>
  <li>Click **Add** to open the **Settings** tab for your connector.</li>
</ol>

For more information about installing new connectors, see
[Connections](https://docs.sync.cdata.com/26.4/en/connections/connections.md).

## Authenticate to Act-On

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

CData Sync supports authenticating to Act-On 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

CData Sync provides an embedded OAuth application with which to connect. To use the application, select **OAuth** for **Auth Scheme**. No additional properties are required.

### OAuth Password

To connect with your user credentials, specify the following properties:

<ul><li>**Auth Scheme:** Select **OAuthPassword**.</li>
<li>**User:** Enter the username that you use to authenticate to your Act-On account.</li>
<li>**Password:** Enter the password that you use to authenticate to your Act-On account.</li>
<li>**OAuth Client Id:** Enter the client Id that you were assigned when you registered your application with an OAuth authorization server.</li>
<li>**OAuth Client Secret:** Enter the client secret that you were assigned when you registered your application with an OAuth authorization server.</li></ul>

## 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. If you authenticate with OAuth, click **Connect to Act-On** to connect to your Act-On account.
4. Click **Create & Test** to create your connection.
