Hi there! Follow the steps below to create an integration between Slide and Backup Radar.

Note: This integration includes enhanced side panel functionality that is distinct from our standard API integrations and exclusive to Slide users. See Working with the Side Panel for more details.  
Who can use this feature?
• Administrator users.
• Standard users (who have been granted access).
 
What you'll need:
• Administrator or Owner access to a Slide account.

    a. Profile Name: Name this integration anything you'd like (for example, "Slide").
    b. Private Key: Paste the API key you copied in Slide.

Following a successful integration, you'll be returned to the Backup Integrations tab, where you can confirm your new integration source.

Shortly, your backups will start populating in your Manage > Activate Backups screen and syncing hourly.
