# Cloud 66 Sync

> Learn how to configure a Cloud 66 Sync for Infisical.

**Prerequisites:**

* Set up and add secrets to [Infisical Cloud](https://app.infisical.com)
* Create a [Cloud 66 Connection](/integrations/app-connections/cloud-66)

<Note>
  Cloud 66 only applies environment variable changes to your servers on the
  next deployment. After a sync runs, redeploy the target stack in Cloud 66
  for the updated secrets to take effect. System-managed variables (read-only
  or generated by Cloud 66) are never modified or removed by Infisical.

    1. Navigate to **Project** > **Integrations** and select the **Secret Syncs** tab. Click on the **Add Sync** button.

    2. Select the **Cloud 66** option.

    3. Configure the **Source** from where secrets should be retrieved, then click **Continue**.

           <img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/infisical/images/secret-syncs/cloud66/step-3.png" alt="Configure Source" />

       * **Environment**: The project environment to retrieve secrets from.
       * **Secret Path**: The folder path to retrieve secrets from.

    <Tip>
      If you need to sync secrets from multiple folder locations, check out [secret imports](/documentation/platform/secret-reference#secret-imports).
    </Tip>

    4. Configure the **Destination** to where secrets should be deployed, then click **Continue**.

           <img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/infisical/images/secret-syncs/cloud66/step-4.png" alt="Configure Destination" />

       * **Cloud 66 Connection**: The Cloud 66 Connection to authenticate with.
       * **Stack**: The Cloud 66 stack (application) to sync secrets to.

           <Note>
             Secrets with hyphens are not allowed by Cloud 66, so they are skipped from the sync process.
           </Note>

    5. Configure the **Initial Sync Behavior** to determine how Infisical should resolve the first sync, then click **Continue**.

           <img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/infisical/images/secret-syncs/cloud66/step-5.png" alt="Configure Initial Sync Behavior" />

       * **Overwrite Cloud 66**: On the initial sync, Infisical writes its secrets to Cloud 66 and imports nothing. Depending on your configuration, this can remove secrets from Cloud 66.
       * **Import from Cloud (Prioritize Infisical)**: Imports secrets from Cloud 66 before the initial sync; if a secret with the same name already exists in Infisical, the Infisical value is kept.
       * **Import from Cloud (Prioritize Cloud)**: Imports secrets from Cloud 66 before the initial sync; if a secret with the same name already exists in Infisical, its value is replaced with the one from Cloud 66.

    6. Configure the **Sync Options** to specify how secrets should be synced, then click **Continue**.

           <img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/infisical/images/secret-syncs/cloud66/step-6.png" alt="Configure Sync Options" />

       * **Disable secret deletion**: If enabled, Infisical will not remove secrets from Cloud 66 during a sync. Enable this option if you intend to manage some secrets manually outside of Infisical.
       * **Auto-sync on changes**: If enabled, secrets will automatically be synced from the source location when changes occur. Disable to enforce manual syncing only.
       * **Customize key names**: Add a prefix or suffix so Infisical can identify which keys in Cloud 66 it manages, leaving everything else untouched.

           <Note>
             We highly recommend customizing key names to ensure that Infisical only manages the specific keys you intend, keeping everything else untouched.
           </Note>

    7. Configure the **Details** of your Cloud 66 Sync, then click **Continue**.

           <img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/infisical/images/secret-syncs/cloud66/step-7.png" alt="Configure Details" />

       * **Name**: The name of your sync. Must be slug-friendly.
       * **Description**: An optional description for your sync.

    8. Review your Cloud 66 Sync configuration, then click **Create Sync**.
           <img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/infisical/images/secret-syncs/cloud66/step-8.png" alt="Review Configuration" />

    9. If enabled, your Cloud 66 Sync will begin syncing your secrets to the destination endpoint.

  <Tab title="API">
    To create a **Cloud 66 Sync**, make an API request to the [Create Cloud 66 Sync](/api-reference/endpoints/secret-syncs/cloud-66/create) API endpoint.

    ### Sample request

    ```bash Request theme={"dark"}
    curl    --request POST \
    --url https://app.infisical.com/api/v1/secret-syncs/cloud-66 \
    --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --data '{
        "name": "my-cloud-66-sync",
        "projectId": "3c90c3cc-0d44-4b50-8888-8dd25736052a",
