Connect to Higher Logic Vanilla

This section covers how to establish your Higher Logic Vanilla Connection within SlapFive's Embedded Integration.

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

1. In SlapFive, go to the Admin menu, click Settings, and click on the Integrations sub-tab.

2. Click the Higher Logic Vanilla Connection box to expand it. Enter the following fields and click Connect.

• Connection type: Leave this set to Cloud.

• Authentication type: Select Header auth.

• Header authorization: Click the Show box to expand it and click the Add Headers button.

• Key: Where it says Enter key, type Authorization.

• Value: Paste your Access Token. See the Authenticating APIv2 calls with Personal Access Tokens page in the Vanilla documentation for instructions on how to generate your Access Token.
