# Create a Dotdigital Source

<Note>
  **Note:**

  Refer to [Dotdigital Source](/articles/integrate-customer/dotdigital) to know more about this source.
</Note>

## Prerequisites

For you to create a Dotdigital source, ensure that you have the following details available:

### Dotdigital API Account

To use the [Dotdigital developer platform](https://developer.dotdigital.com/reference) or access Dotdigital's public APIs, create an API user account in Dotdigital before proceeding with this integration. To learn about how to create an API account in Dotdigital, refer [here](https://support.dotdigital.com/hc/en-gb/articles/115001718730-Create-an-API-user).

Once you have obtained your Dotdigital account credentials (User Id and Password), you can establish a connection with Dotdigital through Zeotap.

### User ID and Password

When you create an API account in Dotdigital, each API user is assigned a Username and Password that is used to authenticate an operation or call.

### Sync Frequency

The first data sync takes place once you create the source. However, the subsequent syncs take place based on the sync frequency that you select. Currently, we support the following sync frequencies:

* Daily
* Weekly
* Monthly

### Standard Object

Ensure that you choose one the following scopes in Dotdigital before creating a source in Zeotap:

* Contacts
* Campaigns
* Preferences
* Campaign Opens
* Campaign Clicks
* Campaign Page Views
