description: "Learn how to configure a Northflank Connection for Infisical."

Infisical supports the use of [API Tokens](https://northflank.com/docs/v1/api/use-the-api) to connect with Northflank.
<Tip>
Infisical recommends creating a specific API role for the app connection and only giving access to projects that will use the integration.
