  3. Provide the Client ID and Client Secret as Application ID and Application Key in SaaSDR app.
  4. Click Create Connector.

You are redirected to the SaaS application's login page, where you need to log in. Once your connector is created, it is listed in the Configurations > Connectors list.

That's it!

Once the application is connected, a scan is initiated to pull metadata from it. Depending on the number of resources to be cataloged in your application, this step may take some time to complete.
