# Onboarding

The DotDigital integration connects your website events to your DotDigital account through a simple, credential-based setup using their Insight Data Collections API. Let's walk through the process.

### Authorization

To add a channel, begin by entering the channel's name. We recommend choosing a name that clearly describes the purpose of the integration. This will assist with debugging if any issue arises.

### Steps to get API Username and API Password

Log in to the dotdigital dashboard and select the account in the bottom left, and navigate to the **Settings tab**

That's it, just copy the Email Address from the above section and the password you created, and use that as the API Username and API Password in edgetag dotdigital add channel flow.
