## Connection 

To establish a connection with the Appwrite data source, you can either click on the **+ Add new Data source** button located on the query panel or navigate to the **[Data Sources](https://docs.tooljet.com/docs/data-sources/overview)** page from the ToolJet dashboard.

ToolJet requires the following to connect to your Appwrite:

- **Project ID**
- **Secret Key**

You'll find the Secret Key and other credentials on your Appwrite's project settings page. You may need to create a new key if you don't have one already.
