Infisical supports two methods for connecting to Heroku: OAuth and Auth Token. Choose the method that best fits your setup and security requirements.
<Tabs> <Tab title="OAuth Method"> The OAuth method provides secure authentication through Heroku's OAuth flow.<Accordion title="Self-Hosted Instance Setup">
Using the Heroku Connection with OAuth on a self-hosted instance of Infisical requires configuring an API client in Heroku and registering your instance with it.
**Prerequisites:**
- A Heroku account with existing applications
- Self-hosted Infisical instance
<Steps>
<Step title="Create an API client in Heroku">
Navigate to your user Account settings > Applications to create a new API client.



Create the API client. As part of the form, set the **OAuth callback URL** to `https://your-domain.com/organization/app-connections/heroku/oauth/callback`.
<Tip>
The domain you defined in the OAuth callback URL should be equivalent to the `SITE_URL` configured in your Infisical instance.
</Tip>

</Step>
<Step title="Add your Heroku API client credentials to Infisical">
Obtain the **Client ID** and **Client Secret** for your Heroku API client.

Back in your Infisical instance, add two new environment variables for the credentials of your Heroku API client:
- `INF_APP_CONNECTION_HEROKU_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID`: The **Client ID** of your Heroku API client.
- `INF_APP_CONNECTION_HEROKU_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET`: The **Client Secret** of your Heroku API client.
Once added, restart your Infisical instance and use the Heroku Connection.
