# Configuring Peoplevox as a data destination (services)

## Introduction

If you wish to [add Peoplevox as a destination connector in Patchworks](https://doc.wearepatchworks.com/product-documentation/patchworks-services/service-connectors/adding-a-service-connector) (i.e. to receive data pushed from another system via Patchworks), you must ensure that Peoplevox is configured to receive the required data. To do this, follow the steps detailed here.

## The steps

**Step 1**\
In your browser, open the URL that you use to access the **Peoplevox** dashboard.

**Step 2**\
Select **integration** from the dropdown list in the top, right-hand corner (beneath your user information):\

**Step 3**\
Click the radio button associated with the data entity that you wish to receive:

**Step 4**\
Check if the **is configured** column is set to **yes** or **no**:

If this is set to **no**, continue with the next step. If it's set to **yes**, go straight to **step 8.**&#x20;

**Step 5**\
You need to configure what fields are expected for the selected entity - this is done by uploading a CSV file containing a comma-separated list of field names.&#x20;

<details>

<summary>I have a CSV file ready to use</summary>

Great! Go to the next step.

</details>

<details>

<summary>I don't have a CSV file</summary>
