  - API Base URL: this is the base URL that DataBee will interact with.
  - Authorization Method: Bearer Token
  - Token: paste the Token generated earlier in the SonarCloud console.
  - Event types: preselected for all the events types the integration pulls.
6. Click **Submit.**

## Troubleshooting Tips

- Ensure the token is pasted correctly. Since you cannot view the token after the 1st time, re-create the token, paste it on a text editor to ensure no spaces or unexpected characters are included and reconfigure the DataBee feed.
- Ensure the SonarCloud scopes/permissions are correct.
