  <h2>Generate a personal access token</h2>

  <p>A personal access token authenticates a single Harvest user and also reveals the Account ID you need.</p>

  <Steps>
    <Step title="Create a new personal access token">
      <div data-guide-step data-guide-scopes="" data-guide-display-scopes-list="">
        <p>Sign in to your <a href="https://id.getharvest.com/developers" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Harvest ID account</a> and open the <strong>Developer tools</strong> page. Under <strong>Personal access tokens</strong>, click <strong>Create new personal access token</strong>.</p>

        <ul>
          <li>Enter a <strong>Name</strong> for the token (for example, `StackOne Integration`).</li>
          <li>Click <strong>Create personal access token</strong>.</li>
        </ul>

      </div>
    </Step>

    <Step title="Copy the token and Account ID">
      <div data-guide-step data-guide-scopes="" data-guide-display-scopes-list="">
        <p>On the <strong>Your personal access token</strong> page, Harvest shows the token and the matching Account ID.</p>

        <ul>
          <li>If you belong to more than one account, use the <strong>Choose account</strong> dropdown to select the Harvest account this connection should access; the <strong>Account ID</strong> updates to match.</li>
          <li>Copy the value under <strong>Your token</strong> and paste it into the <strong>Personal Access Token</strong> field in StackOne Hub.</li>
          <li>Copy the number shown under <strong>Account ID</strong> (for example, `2229920`) and paste it into the <strong>Account ID</strong> field in StackOne Hub.</li>
          <li>Store the token securely — treat it like a password.</li>
        </ul>

  <h2>Set the User-Agent value</h2>

  <p>Harvest requires a User-Agent header on every API request. It must include both the name of your application and a link to your application or a contact email address — requests without a User-Agent are rejected with a 400 Bad Request.</p>

  <Steps>
    <Step title="Enter a User-Agent value">
      <div data-guide-step data-guide-scopes="" data-guide-display-scopes-list="">
        <p>Fill in the <strong>User-Agent</strong> field in StackOne Hub with your application name followed by a link or email in parentheses.</p>

        <ul>
          <li>Format: `Application Name (link or contact email)`</li>
          <li>Example: `John's Harvest Integration (john@example.com)`</li>
          <li>Example: `Trello (http://trello.com/contact)`</li>
          <li>Using a non-standard value or deviating from this pattern may cause connectivity issues with the Harvest API.</li>
