# Create your Mailrelay connection
{% hint style="info" %}
**Oauth connection**: The first step is to install GearPlug in your account so that GearPlug may access the data.
{% endhint %}
To create your Mailrelay Plug, you’ll need the URL and API Token. You can get these from your Mailrelay account, following the instructions below.
### Set up access
1. **Head over to “My Apps”** in the upper-right corner of your GearPlug interface.
2. **Select Mailrelay** on the drop-down menu under “New connection” and click “Create.”
3. **Switch into your Mailrelay dashboard and click “API keys”** on the drop-down menu to the left.
4. **Click “+ Add.”** This will make you choose a user for the API token. Pick the user you want to use and click “Create API key.” Under “Token,” you’ll find the code you need.
5. **Copy your Mailrelay URL and the API** token you just generated. Paste them in the corresponding fields in your GearPlug dashboard and click “Continue.”
{% hint style="warning" %}
When copying your Mailrelay URL, you just need the name, extension, and “.com:” If you copy any other information, such as “https\://” or whatever comes after “.com,” the connection will trigger an error.
