# Set Up a Guru Connection

Set up a Guru connection to start the flow of data into Data 360.

| User Permissions Needed |                                                             |
| ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| To create a connection: | System Admin profile or Data Cloud Architect permission set |

Before you begin:

- Verify your admin has enabled firewalls on the system you want Data 360 to connect to by including these [IP addresses](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360_a_data_cloud_ip_address_allowlist.htm&type=5) to your allowlists.

**note:** It’s your obligation to make sure that you have the rights to the data collected using this feature. Salesforce disclaims all liability with respect to such data collected.

Before you begin:

Verify you have the necessary Guru account credentials which you created with [Prepare your Guru Connection](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/data/data-cloud-int/guide/c360-a-prepare-your-guru-connection.md):

To create a connection:

1. In Data Cloud, select **Setup**, and then select **Data Cloud Setup**.
2. Under External Integrations, select **Other Connectors**.
3. Select **New**.
4. On the Source tab, select the **Guru** tile, and select **Next**.
5. Enter a Connection Name **and** an API Name (this field auto-populates) for the connector.
6. In the Authentication Details section, select the authentication method and fill in the fields with the [information](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/data/data-cloud-int/guide/c360-a-prepare-your-guru-connection.md) you collected earlier.
   Choose from:
   - **User Tokens** - requires you have the **User Email** and **User Token**
   - **Collection Tokens** - requires you to have a **Collection ID** and **Collection token**.
7. Select **Test Connection**. The system verifies that the provided authentication values allow a successful connection to Guru. If the connection fails, follow the instructions on the screen.
8. After the connection test passes successfully, select Save.
