Hightouch

Prerequisites​

Before creating a Hightouch credential, you need to obtain a Bearer Token from your Hightouch account. The Bearer Token is required to authenticate with the Hightouch API.

To obtain your Bearer Token, you need to have a Hightouch account. Once you have access to your account, you can view and manage your API tokens in your Hightouch account settings. The Bearer Token is sent in the Authorization header with the Bearer prefix (e.g., Bearer {token}) for all API requests to the Hightouch API. For detailed information about Bearer Token setup and authentication, refer to the Hightouch API documentation.

Create a Hightouch Credential​

  • To create a new Hightouch credential, after selecting the data source/destination type, click the Add Credential tile to open the Add New Credential overlay.

Credential Name & Description​

  1. Enter a name for the credential in the Credential Name field and a short, meaningful description in the Credential Description field.

    Resource descriptions are recommended but are not required. They should be used provide information about the resource purpose, data freshness, etc. that can help the owner and other users efficiently understand and utilize the resource.

Bearer Token Authentication​

  1. Enter your Hightouch Bearer Token in the Bearer Token field. This is the Bearer Token you obtained from your Hightouch account settings. The Bearer Token is sent in the Authorization header with the Bearer prefix for all API requests to the Hightouch API.

    Keep your Bearer Token secure and do not share it publicly. The Bearer Token provides access to your Hightouch account data and should be treated as sensitive information. You can view and manage API tokens in your Hightouch account settings. The Bearer Token is sent in the Authorization header with the Bearer prefix for all API requests to the Hightouch API. For detailed information about obtaining and managing Bearer Tokens, see the Hightouch API documentation.

Save the Credential​

  1. Once all of the relevant steps in the above sections have been completed, click the Save button at the bottom of the overlay to save the configured credential.

  2. The newly added credential will now appear in a tile on the Authenticate screen during data source/destination creation and can be selected for use with a new data source or destination.
