Hootsuite is a web-based social media management platform that covers almost every aspect of a social media manager's role. It helps with planning, scheduling, and syndicating social posts.

In order to integrate Hootsuite with Relyance AI you will need to follow an **Oauth2** flow.

#### In the Relyance AI application:

1. Login to your Relyance account.
2. Navigate to the **Settings** Menu in the bottom left-hand side.
3. Select **Integrations**.
4. Click on the **Vendor Integration** tab.
5. Find the **Hootsuite** integration card and click it to open its connections.
6. Under **Authentication Method**, choose **Oauth2 / App Token**.
8. Click **Authenticate**.
9. Follow the Oauth flow (login, etc) until you get to the permissions page.

## Manage this integration with Terraform

Connections for this integration can be managed as code with the [Relyance Terraform provider](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/Relyance/relyance/latest). Non-secret fields go in `auth.params`; secret fields go in `auth.secrets_wo`, which is write-only — never stored in Terraform state. Rotate secrets by bumping `auth.secrets_wo_version`.

The **OAuth (browser authorization)** method uses a browser authorization flow, so the connection is created in the Relyance app. Manage it in Terraform afterwards by importing it (`terraform import relyance_integration_connection.example hootsuite/<connection_id>`) or reading it with the `relyance_integration_connection` data source.
