Before you begin:

Verify you have the necessary Guru account credentials which you created with [Prepare your Guru Connection](/docs/data/data-cloud-int/guide/c360-a-prepare-your-guru-connection.md):

To create a connection:

1. In Data Cloud, select **Setup**, and then select **Data Cloud Setup**.
2. Under External Integrations, select **Other Connectors**.
3. Select **New**.
4. On the Source tab, select the **Guru** tile, and select **Next**.
5. Enter a Connection Name **and** an API Name (this field auto-populates) for the connector.
6. In the Authentication Details section, select the authentication method and fill in the fields with the [information](/docs/data/data-cloud-int/guide/c360-a-prepare-your-guru-connection.md) you collected earlier.
   Choose from:
   - **User Tokens** - requires you have the **User Email** and **User Token**
   - **Collection Tokens** - requires you to have a **Collection ID** and **Collection token**.
7. Select **Test Connection**. The system verifies that the provided authentication values allow a successful connection to Guru. If the connection fails, follow the instructions on the screen.
8. After the connection test passes successfully, select Save.
