# SurveyMonkey

You can use the SurveyMonkey connector from the CData Sync application to capture data
from SurveyMonkey 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 SurveyMonkey Connector

To enable Sync to use data from SurveyMonkey, 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 **SurveyMonkey** 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 SurveyMonkey 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 SurveyMonkey

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

**Datacenter:** Enter the originating data center for your SurveyMonkey account. This datacenter value determines the API access URL to use during authentication and data retrieval.

CData Sync supports authenticating to SurveyMonkey in several ways. Select your authentication method below to proceed to the relevant section that contains the authentication details.

* [**OAuth**](#oauth)
* [**Access Token**](#access-token)

### 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.

### Access Token

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

* **Auth Scheme:** Select **AccessToken**.
* **Access Token:** Specify your SurveyMonkey access token.

  To obtain your access token:

  1. Log in to the SurveyMonkey Developer Portal:
  2. Click **My Apps** in the navigation menu.
  3. Create or select an application:
     * If you do not have an application currently, click **Create New App**, provide a nickname, and select the application type (**Public** or **Private**).
     * If you already have an application, click the application name to open its details.
  4. In your application settings, locate the **Access Token** section and copy the access token in that section.

## Complete Your Connection

To complete your connection:

1. Define advanced connection settings on the **Advanced** tab. (In most cases, though, you should not need these settings.)
2. If you authenticate with OAuth, click **Connect to SurveyMonkey** to connect to your SurveyMonkey account.
3. Click **Create & Test** to create your connection.
