# Impact: Connect the account

## Step 1: Connect Your Impact Account

### 1A: Find your Impact credentials

Northbeam connects via Impact's **Legacy API Token**. You'll need your **Account SID** and **Auth Token**.

<Warning>
  Required Role

  Only users with the **Account Administrator** or **Implementation Specialist** role in Impact can access API credentials.

  *If you don't see the API section in Settings, ask your Impact account admin to either grant you one of these roles or retrieve the credentials on your behalf.*
</Warning>

1. In Impact, go to **\[User profile] → Settings → Technical → API**
2. Click **Create Access Token** — refer to [Impact's guide](https://help.impact.com/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/account-administration/account-settings/api-tokens/create-an-api-access-token-as-a-brand) for detailed steps
3. Complete the **Setup** and **Contact Information** steps
4. On the **API Scopes** step, select the following (all GET):
   * `/Advertisers/<AccountSID>/Campaigns`
   * `/Advertisers/<AccountSID>/Actions`
   * `/Advertisers/<AccountSID>/Ads`
   * `/Advertisers/<AccountSID>/MediaPartners`
   * `/Advertisers/<AccountSID>/ReportExport/{ReportId_or_Handle}`
   * `/Advertisers/<AccountSID>/Reports`
   * `/Advertisers/<AccountSID>/Reports/{ReportId}`
5. Click **Create**
