# A-LIGN Integration
The A-LIGN integration enables Sprinto to push audit evidence directly to your A-LIGN account, reducing manual uploads and streamlining the audit process.
To establish the connection, you'll need an A-LIGN administrator account and an API Key with its corresponding Secret Key.
### Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure that you have:
* An A-LIGN administrator account.
* An A-LIGN API Key.
* An A-LIGN Secret Key.

#### Note
If you do not have an API Key and Secret Key, create them by following the steps in the **Find your API credentials** section below.

## Permissions required
Sprinto requires the following access to connect with A-LIGN:
* Administrator access to your A-LIGN account.
***
## Data used by Sprinto
Sprinto stores the following credentials to establish and maintain the connection:
* API Key
* Secret Key
These credentials are used only to authenticate with your A-LIGN account and push audit evidence.
***
## Find your API credentials
If you do not already have an API Key and Secret Key, create them in your A-LIGN account.
1. Sign in to your **A-LIGN** account.
2. Navigate to **Settings > API Keys**.
3. Click **Create API Key**.
4. Enter a name for the new API key.
5. Click **Create API Key**.
6. Open the newly created API key.
7. Copy the following values:
* **API Key**
* **API Key Secret**
6. Keep these credentials ready for the Sprinto integration.

## Connect A-LIGN to Sprinto
1. Sign in to your Sprinto dashboard.
2. Navigate to **Settings > Integrations**.
3. Search for **A-LIGN**.
4. Click **Connect** next to the integration.
5. Review the required permissions and data Sprinto uses.
6. Click **Next**.
7. Enter your:
* **API Key**
* **Secret Key**
8. Click **Validate**.
9. Sprinto validates the credentials and establishes the connection.
10. Once validated, click **Connect A-LIGN** to integrate A-LIGN with your account.
***
## Post-connection flow
After the integration is successfully connected:
* Sprinto securely stores your API credentials.
* Sprinto can automatically push audit evidence to your A-LIGN account.
* The integration appears as **Active** on the Integrations page.
* You can reconnect the integration at any time by updating the API credentials if they change.
***
## Troubleshooting
#### Validation fails
Ensure that:
* The API Key and Secret Key are copied correctly.
* The API credentials have not been regenerated or revoked.
* You're using credentials from the correct A-LIGN account.
#### Unable to create an API Key
Ensure that your account has administrator permissions. Contact your A-LIGN administrator if you cannot access the **API Keys** page.
#### Evidence isn't syncing
* Verify that the integration is active in Sprinto.
* Confirm that the API credentials are still valid.
* Reconnect the integration if the credentials have been regenerated.
