# Terraform Cloud Sync

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

**Prerequisites:**

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

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Infisical UI">
    1. Navigate to **Project** > **Integrations** and select the **Secret Syncs** tab. Click on the **Add Sync** button.

    2. Select the **Terraform Cloud** option.

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

           <img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/infisical/images/secret-syncs/terraform-cloud/terraform-cloud-source.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 **Next**.

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

       * **Terraform Cloud Connection**: The Terraform Cloud Connection to authenticate with.
       * **Organization**: The Terraform Cloud organization to deploy secrets to.
       * **Category**: The Terraform Cloud variable category to use on secrets syncs. Choose from:
         * **Environment**: Sync secrets as environment variables.
         * **Terraform**: Sync secrets as Terraform variables.
       * **Scope**: The Terraform Cloud secret scope to sync secrets to.
         * **Variable Set**: Sync secrets to a specific variable set.
         * **Workspace**: Sync secrets to a specific workspace.

           <p class="height:1px" />

       The remaining fields are determined by the selected **Scope**:

           <AccordionGroup>
             <Accordion title="Variable Set">
               * **Variable Set**: The variable set to deploy secrets to.
             </Accordion>

             <Accordion title="Workspace">
               * **Workspace**: The workspace to deploy secrets to.
             </Accordion>
           </AccordionGroup>

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

           <img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/infisical/images/secret-syncs/terraform-cloud/terraform-cloud-options.png" alt="Configure Options" />

       * **Initial Sync Behavior**: Determines how Infisical should resolve the initial sync.
         * **Overwrite Destination Secrets**: Removes any secrets at the destination endpoint not present in Infisical.
             <Note>
               Terraform Cloud does not support importing secrets.
             </Note>
       * **Key Schema**: Template that determines how secret names are transformed when syncing, using `{{secretKey}}` as a placeholder for the original secret name and `{{environment}}` for the environment.

           <Note>
             We highly recommend using a Key Schema to ensure that Infisical only manages the specific keys you intend, keeping everything else untouched.
           </Note>

       * **Auto-Sync Enabled**: If enabled, secrets will automatically be synced from the source location when changes occur. Disable to enforce manual syncing only.
       * **Disable Secret Deletion**: If enabled, Infisical will not remove secrets from the sync destination. Enable this option if you intend to manage some secrets manually outside of Infisical.

    6. Configure the **Details** of your Terraform Cloud Sync, then click **Next**.

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

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

    7. Review your Terraform Cloud Sync configuration, then click **Create Sync**.
           <img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/infisical/images/secret-syncs/terraform-cloud/terraform-cloud-review.png" alt="Confirm Configuration" />

    8. If enabled, your Terraform Cloud Sync will begin syncing your secrets to the destination endpoint.

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

    ### Sample request

    ```bash Request theme={"dark"}
    curl    --request POST \
    --url https://app.infisical.com/api/v1/secret-syncs/terraform-cloud \
    --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --data '{
