# Intacct
Sage Intacct (opens new window) is an accounting and financial management software that offers consolidation of information across business units, real-time analysis of financial operations, and compliance and auditing services.
# API version
This connector uses the Sage Intacct API (opens new window).
# How to connect to Intacct on Workato
To establish the Intacct integration workflow on Workato, you have to establish a connection between Workato and your Intacct instance.
This is a 2-step process.
- Configure the Intacct Web Services to accept Workato requests.
- Complete the Connection setup on Workato.
# Intacct Web Services
Configuring Intacct Web Services requires the following steps:
- Ensure that your Intacct account is subscribed to Web Services. To add this to your list of subscription products, please contact your manager at Intacct. You should be provided the associated credentials for a XML Gateway/ API Access User.
- Next, set up a Web Services User in your Intacct instance for the integration access. Find out more here.
- Lastly, authorize Workato to access Intacct Web Services. Find out more here.
# Set up Integration System User for Workato
Workato recommends that you set up an Integration System User (ISU) on Intacct. This allows you to log all Workato integration and workflow processes on one dedicated ISU account. Furthermore, this allows you to exercise control over security policies for this integration system.
The ISU should have all the permissions needed to perform the required actions for your integration scenario. Otherwise, you may encounter Error: 403 during recipe building.
For security reasons, each ISU should be restricted to a single integration system (like Workato).

# Authorize Workato on Intacct Web Services

You can obtain a sender ID by contacting your Sage Intacct account representative.
Find Company > Setup tab > Company
Locate Company Information
Select Edit, look under the Setup tab for Web Services authorizations.
Locate Web Services authorizations
