This how-to explains how to connect Pleo to a Custom API Integration so that export jobs are routed to your integration.

## Prerequisites

Before you begin:

* You have access to the Pleo Web App
* You are logged in as an **Admin** or **Bookkeeper**

## Steps

### 1. Open Accounting Settings

Go to **Settings** and select **Accounting**.

### 2. Disconnect any existing integration

If you have an existing accounting integration connected, disconnect it before proceeding. You will see an option to disconnect on the current integration's settings.

### 3. Search for Custom API Integration

In the search box, search for **Custom API Integration** and select it from the results.

</div>

## Result

Pleo is now connected to your custom integration and will route exports accordingly.
