# Create your ManyChat connection

**Oauth connection**: The first step is to install GearPlug in your account so that GearPlug may access the data.
{% endhint %}

To create a ManyChat Plug, you’ll need an API token assigned to your account. Follow these steps to get it:

1. **Head over to Settings > Extensions > API**.
