# How to connect Arive to Leaf360

> A written walkthrough of the video showing how to connect an Arive account to Leaf360, generate the right API credentials, and confirm the connection is working.

This is the written version of a short video walking through how to connect **Arive** to Leaf360 so your Arive loans start importing automatically. Loans not showing up from Arive? Nine times out of ten it's the API keys.

Prefer to watch it instead? Here's the video:

## Connecting Arive to Leaf360

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Arive card in Leaf360">
    In Leaf360, go to **Account Settings** (bottom left), then **Data and Integration**, then **Arive**. You'll see two tabs: **Direct API** and **Zapier**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check your connection option in Arive">
    In Arive, go to **User Settings**, then **API**. Watch for **Integrate with UWM** here — that's a different integration and not what you want. Under your company settings you're looking for **Integrate with Arive** instead. If you see a Direct API option, take Direct API; if it's Zapier, take Zapier.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate and copy your keys">
    If keys aren't already populated in Arive, click **Generate** on the Client ID, Secret Key, and API Key. Copy each one as you go.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Paste credentials into Leaf360, not your Arive password">
    Click **Copy** on the Client ID and paste it into the matching **Client ID** field in Leaf360. Do the same for the Secret (into **Client Secret**) and the API Key.

    Your browser may try to autofill your Arive email or password into these fields — don't use that. Even if a field already looks filled in, copy and paste the value directly from Arive anyway, just to make sure it's correct.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add your Arive Portal URL">
    In Arive, click your profile picture and use **Copy Link** to get your portal URL, then paste it into the **Arive Portal URL** field in Leaf360.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Match your login email">
    Last thing to verify: check whether you signed up for Leaf360 with a different email than the one you use in Arive. If so, copy your Arive login email and paste it into the **LOS Email Alias** field in Leaf360, so everything integrates properly.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save and test the connection">
    Click the save icon. Once you're happy with your credentials, portal URL, and LOS email alias, save each one, then use **Test Connection** to confirm everything is working.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Once connected, Leaf360 begins importing your loans directly from Arive.

<Note>
  For what data actually comes across on a synced loan, the two status mapping tabs, and troubleshooting a connection that isn't working, see the full [Arive](/integrations/arive) reference page.
