> Takes 5 minutes. Who: an owner.

**1. Create a token in Dentally**

In Dentally, go to Settings, then API, and create a token for Hello Diary. Copy it.

**2. Paste it into Hello Diary**

In Hello Diary, open Dentally from the menu and choose Connect Dentally. Paste the token into API token. Name is optional and helps tell accounts apart if you have more than one. We check the token with Dentally and keep it encrypted.

**3. Choose your sites**

Choose Check and show sites. For each site that should take bookings, choose Take online bookings here.

**4. Name the clinic and its address**

Check the Clinic name and choose a Booking page address. It becomes your-clinic.hellodiary.co.uk.

**5. Set a payment plan if asked**

If the site has no default plan in Dentally, enter the plan new patients go on under Payment plan for new patients, or set a default in Dentally first.

## Good to know

* Use Check again on the Dentally page at any time to confirm the connection still works and see your sites.
* If you create a new token in Dentally, use Replace token rather than connecting a second account.
