## **Getting Started with Coalesce**
There are three steps to get started using Coalesce with Secoda:
1. Retrieve your Coalesce Host
2. Retrieve your API key
3. Retrieve your Environment ID
4. Connect Coalesce to Secoda
#### **Retrieve your Coalesce Host**
You can determine your Coalesce host by logging into Coalesce and taking the base url from the link. In the example below, the host would be `https://app.coalescesoftware.io`
#### **Retrieve your API key**
For Secoda to retrieve metadata from Coalesce, you need to get your Access Token. To do this, go to **Deploy > Generate Access Token** and copy the token.
**Retrieve your Environment ID**
On the **Deploy** page, get the ID of the environment that you want to import into Secoda. For the example below, it would be 3.
**Connect Coalesce to Secoda**
The next step is to connect Secoda:
1. In the Secoda App, select **Add Integration** on the Integrations tab
2. Search for and select the **Coalesce** integration
3. Enter your Coalesce Host, Access Token, and Environment ID. This information is kept encrypted
4. Click on **Test Connection** to save the integration.
5. Once integration is created, click on **Run Sync** to run your first extraction
