# Onboarding

Sailthru channels provide a straightforward setup process, utilizing an API Key and Secret to connect your marketing data with Sailthru's cross-channel platform. This connection allows your site to stream events for personalized marketing automation across email, web, and mobile channels. Let's walk through the steps.

### Add Channel <a href="#add-channel" id="add-channel"></a>

To add a channel, begin by entering the channel's name. We recommend choosing a name that clearly describes the channel you are adding. This will assist with debugging if any issues arise. Once you have entered the name, you'll need to get your API credentials from Sailthru.

### Get API Key and Secret <a href="#get-api-key-and-secret" id="get-api-key-and-secret"></a>

Navigate to your Sailthru account and access the **API & Postbacks Settings** page. This can typically be found under your account settings or setup section.

On the API & Postbacks page, look for the lock icon that contains your API credentials. Click on the lock icon to display your API Key and Secret.

Copy both the **API Key** and **API Secret** from the pop-up and return to EdgeTag. Enter these credentials into their respective fields in the EdgeTag integration form.

After entering your API Key and Secret, click **Save & Deploy** to finalize the integration.
