# SurveyMonkey credentials

You can use these credentials to authenticate the following nodes:

* [SurveyMonkey Trigger](/integrations/builtin/trigger-nodes/n8n-nodes-base.surveymonkeytrigger.md)

## Prerequisites <a href="#prerequisites" id="prerequisites"></a>

* Create a [SurveyMonkey](https://www.surveymonkey.com) account.
* [Register an app](https://api.surveymonkey.com/v3/docs?api_key=3yr7n6m8sjwvm48x8nhxej52#registering-an-app) from your [**Developer dashboard > My apps**](https://developer.surveymonkey.com/apps/).
  * Refer to [Required app scopes](#required-app-scopes) for information on the scopes you must use.

## Supported authentication methods <a href="#supported-authentication-methods" id="supported-authentication-methods"></a>

* API access token
* OAuth2

## Related resources <a href="#related-resources" id="related-resources"></a>

Refer to [SurveyMonkey's API documentation](https://developer.surveymonkey.com/api/v3/#SurveyMonkey-Api) for more information about the service.

## Using API access token <a href="#using-api-access-token" id="using-api-access-token"></a>

To configure this credential, you'll need:

* An **Access Token**: Generated once you create an app.
* A **Client ID**: Generated once you create an app.
* A **Client Secret**: Generated once you create an app.

Once you've created your app and assigned appropriate scopes, go to **Settings > Credentials**. Copy the **Access Token**, **Client ID**, and **Secret** and add them to n8n.

## Using OAuth <a href="#using-oauth" id="using-oauth"></a>

To configure this credential, you'll need:

* A **Client ID**: Generated once you create an app.
* A **Client Secret**: Generated once you create an app.

Once you've created your app and assigned appropriate scopes:

1. Go to the app's **Settings > Settings**.
2. From n8n, copy the **OAuth Redirect URL**.
3. Overwrite the app's existing **OAuth Redirect URL** with that URL.
4. Select **Submit Changes**.
5. Be sure the **Scopes** section contains the [Required app scopes](#required-app-scopes).

From the app's **Settings > Credentials**, copy the **Client ID** and **Client Secret** and add them to your n8n credential. You can now select **Connect my account** from n8n.

{% hint style="info" %}
**SurveyMonkey Test OAuth Flow**

This option only works if you keep the default SurveyMonkey **OAuth Redirect URL** and add the n8n OAuth Redirect URL as an **Additional Redirect URL**.
{% endhint %}

## Required app scopes <a href="#required-app-scopes" id="required-app-scopes"></a>

Once you create your app, go to **Settings > Scopes**. Select these scopes for your n8n credential to work:

* **View Surveys**
* **View Collectors**
* **View Responses**
* **View Response Details**
* **Create/Modify Webhooks**
* **View Webhooks**

Select **Update Scopes** to save them.
