# Heroku Integration

Heroku is a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) that enables teams to build, run, and scale applications in the cloud.

Integrating Heroku with Sprinto allows you to:

* Automate infrastructure monitoring controls
* Sync application and add-on data
* Continuously monitor access and configuration posture
* Maintain up-to-date compliance evidence

This integration uses OAuth and requires admin access to your Heroku account.

***

### Prerequisites

Before connecting Heroku to Sprinto, ensure that:

* You have **Admin access** to the Heroku account.
* You are authorised to approve third-party OAuth integrations.
* You understand that Sprinto requests **read-only access** to apps and resources.

***

### Permissions and Data Access

#### Permissions required

Sprinto requests the following OAuth scopes:

* `identity`
* `read`

This provides read-only access to apps and resources, excluding account-level information.

#### Data used by Sprinto

Sprinto may access the following metadata:

* Name
* Account ID
* Regions
* Account
* Add-ons
* Apps
* heroku-postgres
* heroku-redis

Sprinto does not modify your Heroku infrastructure.

2. Review the requested access.
3. Approve the integration.

After successful authentication, you will be redirected back to Sprinto.

***

### Post-Connection Flow

Once connected:

* The integration status changes to **Active**.
* Sprinto begins syncing Heroku account and application metadata.
* Automated monitoring controls and checks start running.
* Initial sync may take up to **24 hours** to reflect across dashboards.

You can monitor integration health under:

* **Settings → Integrations**
* Relevant controls under **Monitoring**

***

### Troubleshooting

#### Unable to authenticate

* Ensure you are using a Heroku account with **Admin access**.
* Confirm that third-party integrations are permitted.

#### Redirect loop or login failure

* Clear browser cache and retry.
* Use an incognito/private window.

#### Data not reflecting in Sprinto

* Allow up to 24 hours for the initial sync.
* Verify that the integration status is **Active**.
* Disconnect and reconnect the integration if required.
