# Convex Connection

> Learn how to configure a Convex Connection for Infisical.

Infisical supports the use of [personal access tokens](https://docs.convex.dev/dashboard/personal-access-tokens) to connect with your Convex account.

## Create a Personal Access Token in Convex

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to Profile Settings">

  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure the Token">
    Enter a **Token Name** (e.g. `infisical`) and select an **Expiration** period, then click **Create**.

    <Warning>
      If the personal access token expires, any secret rotations relying on this connection will fail. We recommend setting a long expiration or selecting **No expiration** to avoid disruptions.
    </Warning>

  </Step>

  <Step title="Copy the Token">
    Copy the generated token and store it securely. You will not be able to see it again. You will need it to configure the Convex connection in Infisical.
