# Setup

After you are approved for an Actions Center Local Services Ads Redirect integration, you will gain access to
[Partner Portal](https://partnerdash.google.com/apps/reservewithgoogle/)
to help you manage your integration. To learn more about Partner Portal, please reference
[here](https://developers.google.com/actions-center/verticals/local-services/redirect/partner-portal/overview/overview).

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** The following steps are for partners who already work the Actions Center. To become an Actions Center partner, fill out the [interest form](https://services.google.com/fb/forms/reservationsappointmentsonlinebooking-interestform/).

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** Integration tasks can be found under the Setup milestone in [Onboarding Guides](https://partnerdash.google.com/apps/reservewithgoogle/plan/starter-plan?env=sandbox) ([documentation](https://developers.google.com/actions-center/verticals/local-services/redirect/partner-portal/overview/onboarding-guides)) or under [Onboarding Tasks](https://partnerdash.google.com/apps/reservewithgoogle/onboarding?env=sandbox) for Partner Portal.

## Create a SSH public / private key pair

To create a SSH public / private key pair, follow the instructions in the
[SSH Setup documentation](https://developers.google.com/actions-center/verticals/local-services/redirect/partner-portal/testing/ssh-setup).

> [!IMPORTANT]
> **Key Point:** Keep track of your public key. You need to provide it to Google in some of the later steps.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** Most Actions Center partners prefer to use the same public / private key pair across all feeds. If you wish to use a different key pair for each feed or for each environment, you may change your SSH key after the initial setup steps have been completed, within the **[Feed Configuration](https://partnerdash.google.com/apps/reservewithgoogle/configuration/feeds?env=sandbox)** page of the Partner Portal. Refer to the [Partner Portal documentation](https://developers.google.com/actions-center/verticals/local-services/redirect/partner-portal/testing/feeds) to learn how to change your keys.

## Initialize the SFTP servers

Once you sign in to the Partner Portal, perform the following steps:

1. Browse to the **[Onboarding Tasks](https://partnerdash.google.com/apps/reservewithgoogle/onboarding?env=sandbox)** tab.
2. Enter your public SSH key.
3. Click **Submit**.

This creates a set of SFTP servers for both sandbox and production
environments for you to use. You can find the SFTP server usernames in the [Feed](https://partnerdash.google.com/apps/reservewithgoogle/configuration/feeds?env=sandbox)
page ([documentation](https://developers.google.com/actions-center/verticals/local-services/redirect/partner-portal/testing/feeds)) within the
Partner Portal.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** Use any SFTP client to access to the Google-provided SFTP servers. Sign in with the private key you created [for this project](https://developers.google.com/actions-center/verticals/local-services/redirect/integration-steps/setup#create-keys). The Google SFTP server is available at `sftp://partnerupload.google.com` on port `19321`. This applies to both your sandbox and production servers.

## Next steps

At this point, you can use the
[Partner Portal](https://partnerdash.google.com/apps/reservewithgoogle). You can optionally perform the
following setup tasks:

1. Within the **[Account and Users](https://partnerdash.google.com/apps/reservewithgoogle/accountandusers?env=sandbox)** page, [grant additional users in your organization access to the Partner
   Portal.](https://developers.google.com/actions-center/verticals/local-services/redirect/partner-portal/testing/accounts-and-users)
2. Within the **[Brands](https://partnerdash.google.com/apps/reservewithgoogle/brands?env=sandbox)** page, [configure the default Brand and set up new Brands](https://developers.google.com/actions-center/verticals/local-services/redirect/partner-portal/testing/brands-configuration) in your Sandbox and Production environments.
3. Depending on your integration, within the **[Features](https://partnerdash.google.com/apps/reservewithgoogle/configuration/account-features?env=sandbox)** page, [enable or disable additional features](https://developers.google.com/actions-center/verticals/local-services/redirect/partner-portal/testing/features). These configurations are environment specific.
4. Follow your [Onboarding Plan](https://actionscenter.google.com/home) to continue your integration, starting with [Feeds](https://developers.google.com/actions-center/verticals/local-services/redirect/redirect/integration-steps/feeds).
