# Integrating with Campfire

This guide will walk you through connecting your **Campfire** **accounting** **platform** to **Drivetrain.**

### **Prerequisites**

Before beginning the integration, ensure you have the following:

1. An **active Campfire account** with permissions to create API tokens.
2. **Admin privileges** in Drivetrain.

### **Campfire Setup**

Follow the steps below to set up your Campfire instance so Drivetrain can authenticate and pull data.

#### Step 1: Create an API User

You need an API user and key to allow Drivetrain to connect.

1. Login to your Campfire account
2. In Campfire, navigate to the **API Tokens (`Settings > API Keys`)** section.
3. Click **`New User`**.
4. Fill in the required fields (Name, Email, Role).
   * `admin` - full access to APIs
   * `clerk` - read access and ability to post drafts
   * `view only` - read-only access via `GET APIs`
5. Save the new API user.

**View only access** is sufficient to integrate **Campfire** with **Drivetrain.**
{% endhint %}

#### Step 2: Generate Your API Key

Once the API user is created:

1. Click **`Create API Key`** for that user.

2. **Copy the generated API key** - this is shown only once.
3. Store it somewhere securely - you’ll need it for the Drivetrain connection.

#### Step 3: Integrating with Drivetrain

Now that your Campfire API credentials are ready, connect to Drivetrain:

1. Go to the **`Data`** page in Drivetrain.
2. Click the **`+ icon`** in the top-left corner to add a new data source.
3. From the list of available integrations, select **`Campfire`**.
4. In the connection form, paste your API Key into the **`API Key`** field.
5. Click **Submit**.

Drivetrain will validate your credentials and begin syncing your Campfire data. You can monitor sync progress from the Data page.

### **Troubleshooting**

If you’re unable to connect Campfire to Drivetrain after completing the steps above, reach out to your Drivetrain onboarding partner. In most cases, no additional configuration is required.
