​
Overview

DSALTA connects to Clerk using read-only API access to collect compliance evidence automatically. Data syncs every 24 hours and feeds into your Data Library modules.
Read-only access. DSALTA never modifies, creates, or deletes resources in your Clerk account.

​
How to Connect

Clerk connects with a Secret key — there’s no app to install.
1

Open the Clerk Dashboard

Go to the Clerk Dashboard and select your application. A standard Clerk account works — no paid or enterprise plan is required.
2

Open API keys

In the left sidebar, open Configure, then API keys.
3

Copy your Secret key

Copy the Secret key (sk_live_... for production, or sk_test_... for development). You’ll paste it in the next step.
4

Connect

In the DSALTA sidebar, go to Integrations, find Clerk, and click Connect. Paste your Secret key in the secure window and submit.
5

Finish

DSALTA runs an initial sync — usually a few minutes — after which the compliance checks below activate.

​
Automated Compliance Checks

Each check below runs automatically every 24 hours. Click any check for step-by-step remediation guidance.

​
Troubleshooting

Re-authenticate from Integrations → Clerk → Reconnect. This can happen if the Secret key was revoked or rotated in the Clerk Dashboard.
Confirm the Secret key is current (it may have been rotated under Configure → API keys in the Clerk Dashboard), then trigger a manual sync from the integration settings.
