As Moveworks has integrated with StaffBase Intranet, we would need the following details to connect our services with your StaffBase instance. Our systems fetch the **News Posts** stored in your system and serve the user with relevant answers from them.

# General Setup

***

<Callout intent="info">
  You need to be an ADMINISTRATOR within your StaffBase instance to generate an API Token
</Callout>

You will need the following to connect Moveworks to your StaffBase instance.

* **Generated API Token**\
  For example, an API token you created looks like: `dGVzdDEyMzQ2Nzg6dGVzdD2Nzg=`
* The **Base URL** of your Staffbase platform.\
  For example, the base URL of your Staffbase platform looks like: [https://exampleapp.staffbase.com](https://exampleapp.staffbase.com)

## Generate API Token

The StaffBase API is secured by [*HTTPS*](https://developers.staffbase.com/glossary/overview/#https-\(hypertext-transfer-protocol-secure\))  and [*basic authentication*](https://developers.staffbase.com/glossary/overview/#basic-authentication) .

Follow the steps outlined in their official documentation to create an API Token:\
[Creating and Retrieving an API Token](https://support.staffbase.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015755691-Generating-an-API-Token?__hstc=48957796.e85543d0cc0266c8fef4185f8150c543.1721715349390.1724237093668.1728892521349.5&__hssc=48957796.1.1728892521349&__hsfp=441575867&_gl=1*1ledx4a*_gcl_au*MjAxMjMxNDY3NS4xNzI4ODkyNTE5*_ga*ODkyNjI0ODk3LjE3Mjg4OTI1MjA.*_ga_K6VYE3V8D6*MTcyODg5MjUxOS4xLjEuMTcyODg5MjU4OS42MC4wLjA.)

Make sure to set the Access level as **Read-only** when configuring the token.

# Creating the Connector

With all the required details collected, we can now configure the connector to interact with your Staffbase Instance.

* Go to the *Connectors* module in Moveworks Setup, by clicking on **Manage Connectors** under **Core Platform**, and then click on **System Connectors**.
* Click on Create **New** in the top right corner.
* Search for the **Staffbase** System here

* Start by providing the the **Staffbase** URL, and the **API Token** we just generated.

You can now go ahead and **save** the config and start using this Connector across Setup.
