# Connecting your accounts

Note:
If you encounter issues during the account connection process, you may need to enable third-party cookies.

After you have met the above prerequisites, you are ready to connect your Conversation API account and project to your Salesforce account. This is accomplished by connecting both your Salesforce account and your Conversation API project to the Omnichannel Connector app.

To accomplish both tasks, click the **AppExchange** tab in the Salesforce Marketing Cloud UI and select **Omnichannel Connector**. Then, complete the steps described in the subsections below.

## Connecting your Salesforce account

On the **Sinch Omnichannel Connector package** page, the **Connect your Salesforce account to Omnichannel Connector** section is displayed. Review the corresponding text and click **Connect Salesforce account**. This will connect your Salesforce account to the Omnichannel Connector.

## Connecting your Conversation API Project

After connecting your Salesforce account, The **Connect to Conversation API** section is displayed. You must connect your Conversation API project to the Omnichannel Connector. In order to connect your Conversation API project to the Omnichannel connector, you'll need to have the following pieces of information (found on the [Sinch Build Dashboard](https://dashboard.sinch.com/settings/access-keys)) readily available:

- Your [access key ID](https://community.sinch.com/t5/Customer-Dashboard/Sinch-Access-Keys/ta-p/12638)
- Your [access key secret](https://community.sinch.com/t5/Customer-Dashboard/Sinch-Access-Keys/ta-p/12638)
- Your [project ID](https://community.sinch.com/t5/Customer-Dashboard/What-is-a-project-and-how-to-manage-projects/ta-p/12693)


To connect your account, simply enter this information into the corresponding fields. Then, click **Connect to Conversation API**. You may also disconnect your Conversation API project from the Omnichannel Connector app at any time.

In most cases, will only need to complete the process of connecting your Conversation API project to the Omnichannel Connector once. However, if you wish to connect to another project, or if your connection credentials change, you must disconnect your previous connection and reconnect using your new credentials.
