# Set Up a Demandbase Connection

Create a Demandbase connection to use as a data source into Data 360. With Demandbase connected to Data 360, you can use ‌intent data more efficiently and improve the customer profile.

Before setting up a Demandbase connection, keep in mind these considerations:

1. Have a Demandbase account, and configure your dashboard.
2. Have access to company and intent objects in Demandbase.
3. Turn on ‌ Secure File Transfer (SFTP) based data delivery on Demandbase.
4. Set the SFTP server location to the location of the intent and company files.

| Passphrase                 | To protect your Private Key for additional security, add an optional passphrase.                                                                                                                                                   |
