# Connecting Arive
> A step by step walkthrough, with screenshots, of connecting your Arive account to Leaf360 from Account Settings.
This walks you through connecting **Arive** to Leaf360, screen by screen, so your Arive loans start importing. If you'd rather watch it, the video covers the same ground.
For what data moves across once you're connected, the status mapping tabs, and the rest of the reference, see [Arive](/integrations/arive).
## Connecting Arive
Click your profile at the bottom left of your screen, then **Account Settings**.
In the settings list, scroll down to **Data & Integrations** and select **Integrations**.
Look through the integrations and select **Arive**.
Work through the prompts on the Arive card and fill them out accordingly.
## Direct API or Zapier
The Arive card opens on **Integration Mode**, with two choices: **Direct API**, which connects using your Arive API credentials, and **Zapier**, which connects through a webhook instead.
If you don't know which one you have, reach out to your company and ask before you pick. It isn't a guess worth making, since the credentials you need differ between the two.
## A Connection Error on Zapier is expected
If you're on **Zapier** and you see **Connection Error** on the right hand side, don't be alarmed. That message is only telling you that you aren't connected through the Direct API. Your Arive connection still works without it.
## If you don't see Arive at all
If Arive isn't on the Integrations shelf, you're on a company account. An administrator at your company has to follow these same steps and enable it for you.
