# Guru

> How DSALTA integrates with Guru — data collected, setup guide, and automated compliance checks.

## Overview

DSALTA connects to Guru using read-only API access to collect compliance evidence automatically. Data syncs every 24 hours and feeds into your Data Library modules.

DSALTA reads your Guru team members through the Members API — the people who have access to your knowledge base — so it can run access reviews against your People directory.

<Info>
  **Read-only access.** DSALTA never modifies, creates, or deletes resources in your Guru account.
</Info>

## How to Connect

Guru connects with your account **username** and a **Guru API token** — there's no app to install.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open API Access in Guru">
    In Guru, go to **Team Settings → Apps & Integrations → API Access**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create an API token">
    Generate an API token for your account. You'll use this together with your Guru username.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect">
    In the DSALTA sidebar, go to **Integrations**, find **Guru**, and click **Connect**. Enter your Guru username and API token in DSALTA's secure connection window and submit.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Finish">
    DSALTA runs an initial sync — usually a few minutes — after which the compliance checks below activate.

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Integration shows Disconnected">
    Re-authenticate from **Integrations → Guru → Reconnect**. This can happen if the API token was revoked or regenerated in Guru's **Team Settings → Apps & Integrations → API Access**.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Data is not syncing">
    Confirm your Guru username and API token are current (the token may have been regenerated in Guru), then trigger a manual sync from the integration settings.
