Onshape integration
First, create an Onshape integration following the instructions [here](https://docs.violetlabs.com/apps/a/arena). Configure your data fetch, specifying:
* The types of data you want to fetch (`parts`, `files`, etc).
* Fetch frequency - either via webhooks, which enables an event-driven sync (this is recommended due to Onshape's API limits), or scheduled - for example every 1 hour, 10 minutes, etc.
Violet enables automatic ingestion (and syncing) of Onshape `files` . By default, this includes 2D part drawings (.pdf) and 3D models (.stp). If you are interesting in fetching or syncing other file types, reach out and let us know.

### Create an 
**ION** integration
Next, set up an ION integration, following the instructions [here](https://docs.violetlabs.com/apps/i/ion/generate-api-credentials-in-ion). Configure your data fetch, specifying:
* The types of data you want to fetch (`parts`, `runs`, `purchase orders`, etc).
* Fetch frequency - this is either scheduled, eg. every 1 hour, 10 minutes, etc., or event-driven via webhooks.
Violet will need to fetch whichever data you wish to be synced from Onshape (eg. `parts`).
