# Connect to Gainsight CC (Insided)

To protect the security and privacy of your Gainsight CC data, SlapFive's Embedded Integration eliminates the need for you to email or message us with your authentication credentials. You or your Gainsight Community Admin can simply connect to Gainsight CC right from within SlapFive. You only have to do this once and it will be used for all data synchronization scenarios. The login data is encrypted and stored within the Embedded Integration.

1\. In Gainsight CC, go to **Integrations** > **API**. In the **OAuth2** section, click the **Create an OAuth2 client**, and keep this screen open.
