# How to Set Up Your Pardot Integration

## Connecting Your Account Engagement Account to FeedOtter

{% hint style="warning" %}
This guide assumes you are using the Lightning version of Pardot. If you are using an older version of Pardot, you may need to request help from Pardot to find the required Ids.
{% endhint %}

In FeedOtter, navigate to **Settings > Integrations**. Then, click **Add Integration:**<br>

Select **Pardot**. Fill in the required fields:

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/Q4EOKdaOFuXjYC2n2M7f" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

* **Api Version** should be **4** unless you know differently.
* To access your **Pardot Business Unit Id**, navigate to Salesforce (see below). In the upper-right corner, click the gear icon, then click Setup. Use the Quick Find search bar in the left-side menu to search "Business Unit Setup," or navigate under Account Engagement.&#x20;

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/C2SWiGYYyeC31NFC2EbZ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

* Select **Environment** (currently FeedOtter requires a Production Pardot instance for integration). *Production* should be selected by default.&#x20;
* **Use Handlebars** should be *checked* by default. Leave it checked unless you know differently.
* Click **Save.**

If a series of prompts appear, click *Yes* on the various prompts to authorize the FeedOtter Connected App. When/if this happens and is completed, you should be returned to the FeedOtter settings screen.

The integration is complete at this point.

**The more thorough approach to Integration:** The other method for integration creates a dedicated user account that **isn’t** directly linked to an individual. While this is the preferred option, it does involve a more detailed process. To ensure the account is independent of any one person, you can use your Admin to set up a dedicated user. Click the link below to walk through this process.
