--- title: "Terraform Cloud Sync" description: "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) 1. Navigate to **Project** > **Integrations** and select the **Secret Syncs** tab. Click on the **Add Sync** button. ![Secret Syncs Tab](/images/secret-syncs/general/secret-sync-tab.png) 2. Select the **Terraform Cloud** option. ![Select Terraform Cloud](/images/secret-syncs/terraform-cloud/terraform-cloud-option.png) 3. Configure the **Source** from where secrets should be retrieved, then click **Next**. ![Configure Source](/images/secret-syncs/terraform-cloud/terraform-cloud-source.png) - **Environment**: The project environment to retrieve secrets from. - **Secret Path**: The folder path to retrieve secrets from. If you need to sync secrets from multiple folder locations, check out [secret imports](/documentation/platform/secret-reference#secret-imports). 4. Configure the **Destination** to where secrets should be deployed, then click **Next**. ![Configure Destination](/images/secret-syncs/terraform-cloud/terraform-cloud-destination.png) - **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.

The remaining fields are determined by the selected **Scope**: - **Variable Set**: The variable set to deploy secrets to. - **Workspace**: The workspace to deploy secrets to. 5. Configure the **Sync Options** to specify how secrets should be synced, then click **Next**. ![Configure Options](/images/secret-syncs/terraform-cloud/terraform-cloud-options.png) - **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. Terraform Cloud does not support importing secrets. - **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. We highly recommend using a Key Schema to ensure that Infisical only manages the specific keys you intend, keeping everything else untouched. - **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**. ![Configure Details](/images/secret-syncs/terraform-cloud/terraform-cloud-details.png) - **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**. ![Confirm Configuration](/images/secret-syncs/terraform-cloud/terraform-cloud-review.png) 8. If enabled, your Terraform Cloud Sync will begin syncing your secrets to the destination endpoint. ![Sync Secrets](/images/secret-syncs/terraform-cloud/terraform-cloud-created.png) 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 curl --request POST \ --url https://app.infisical.com/api/v1/secret-syncs/terraform-cloud \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data '{ "name": "my-terraform-cloud-sync", "projectId": "3c90c3cc-0d44-4b50-8888-8dd25736052a", "description": "an example sync", "connectionId": "3c90c3cc-0d44-4b50-8888-8dd25736052a", "environment": "dev", "secretPath": "/my-secrets", "isEnabled": true, "syncOptions": { "initialSyncBehavior": "overwrite-destination" }, "destinationConfig": { "scope": "variable-set", "variableSetId": "3c90c3cc-0d44-4b50-8888-8dd25736052a", "variableSetName": "my-variable-set", "org": "my-organization-id", "category": "env" } }' ``` ### Sample response ```bash Response { "secretSync": { "id": "3c90c3cc-0d44-4b50-8888-8dd25736052a", "name": "my-terraform-cloud-sync", "description": "an example sync", "isEnabled": true, "version": 1, "folderId": "3c90c3cc-0d44-4b50-8888-8dd25736052a", "connectionId": "3c90c3cc-0d44-4b50-8888-8dd25736052a", "createdAt": "2023-11-07T05:31:56Z", "updatedAt": "2023-11-07T05:31:56Z", "syncStatus": "succeeded", "lastSyncJobId": "123", "lastSyncMessage": null, "lastSyncedAt": "2023-11-07T05:31:56Z", "importStatus": null, "lastImportJobId": null, "lastImportMessage": null, "lastImportedAt": null, "removeStatus": null, "lastRemoveJobId": null, "lastRemoveMessage": null, "lastRemovedAt": null, "syncOptions": { "initialSyncBehavior": "overwrite-destination" }, "projectId": "3c90c3cc-0d44-4b50-8888-8dd25736052a", "connection": { "app": "terraform-cloud", "name": "my-terraform-cloud-connection", "id": "3c90c3cc-0d44-4b50-8888-8dd25736052a" }, "environment": { "slug": "dev", "name": "Development", "id": "3c90c3cc-0d44-4b50-8888-8dd25736052a" }, "folder": { "id": "3c90c3cc-0d44-4b50-8888-8dd25736052a", "path": "/my-secrets" }, "destination": "terraform-cloud", "destinationConfig": { "scope": "workspace", "workspaceId": "3c90c3cc-0d44-4b50-8888-8dd25736052a", "workspaceName": "my-workspace", "org": "my-organization-id", "category": "terraform" } } } ```
