# Set Up a Heroku PostgreSQL Connection

Set up the Heroku PostgreSQL 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.

1.  In Data Cloud, click **Setup**, and select **Data Cloud Setup**.

2.  Under External Integrations, select **Other Connectors**.

3.  Click **New**.

4.  On the Source tab, select **Heroku PostgreSQL** and click **Next**.

5.  Enter a connection name, connection API name, and provide the authentication and connection details.

    Learn more about the configuration details in the [Heroku Postgres documentation](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-postgres-via-mtls).

6.  For the Authentication Method, username and password is the default. Enter these details to authenticate the user. In the dropdown, if you select mutual TLS based authentication, enter these fields.

    1.  For SSL Root Certificate, provide the root certificate or the CA certificate file that authenticates the server.

    2.  For SSL Client Certificate, provide the client's SSL certificate file that validates the client.

    3.  For SSL Key, provide the client private key file.

7.  For Connection Details, enter these fields.

    1.  For Connection URL, provide the PostgreSQL hostname and port.

    2.  For Schema, enter the database schema the user’s access is limited to for this connection.

    3.  For Database, enter the PostgreSQL database for which the user's credentials are authenticated.

8.  To review your configuration, click **Test Connection**.

9.  Click **Save**.

After the connector details are accepted, the connection is created and listed under Connectors. You can now create data streams.
