Navigate to **Project** > **Integrations** and select the **Secret Syncs** tab. Select the **Add Sync** button. > > ![Secret Syncs Tab](https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/infisical/images/secret-syncs/general/secret-sync-tab.png) > > 2. Select the **AWS Secrets Manager** option. > > ![Select AWS Secrets Manager](https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/infisical/images/secret-syncs/aws-secrets-manager/select-aws-secrets-manager-option.png) > > 3. Configure the **Source** from where secrets should be retrieved, then click **Next**. > > ![Configure Source](https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/infisical/images/secret-syncs/aws-secrets-manager/aws-secrets-manager-source.png) > > * **Environment**: The project environment to retrieve secrets from. > > * **Secret Path**: The folder path to retrieve secrets from. > > > [!TIP] > > > > If you need to sync secrets from multiple folder locations, check out [secret imports](https://infisical.com/docs/documentation/platform/secret-reference.md#secret-imports). > > 4. Configure the **Destination** to where secrets should be deployed, then click **Next**. > > ![Configure Destination](https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/infisical/images/secret-syncs/aws-secrets-manager/aws-secrets-manager-destination.png) > > * **AWS Connection**: The AWS Connection to authenticate with. > * **Region**: The AWS region to deploy secrets to. > * **Mapping Behavior**: Specify how Infisical should map secrets to AWS Secrets Manager: > * **One-To-One**: Each Infisical secret will be mapped to a separate AWS Secrets Manager secret. > * **Many-To-One**: All Infisical secrets will be mapped to a single AWS Secrets Manager secret. > * **Secret Name**: Specifies the name of the AWS Secret to map secrets to if **Many-To-One** mapping behavior is selected. > > 5. Configure the **Sync Options** to specify how secrets should be synced, then click **Next**. > > ![Configure Options](https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/infisical/images/secret-syncs/aws-secrets-manager/aws-secrets-manager-options.png) > > * **Initial Sync Behavior**: Determines how Infisical should resolve the initial sync. > * **Overwrite Destination Secrets**: Removes any secrets at the destination endpoint not present in Infisical. > * **Import Secrets (Prioritize Infisical)**: Imports secrets from the destination endpoint before syncing, prioritizing values from Infisical over Secrets Manager when keys conflict. > * **Import Secrets (Prioritize AWS Secrets Manager)**: Imports secrets from the destination endpoint before syncing, prioritizing values from Secrets Manager over Infisical when keys conflict. > > * **Key Schema**: Template that determines how secret names are transformed when syncing, using `{{secretKey}}` as a placeholder for the original secret name and `{{environment}}` for the environment. > > > [!NOTE] > > > > We highly recommend using a Key Schema to ensure that Infisical only manages the specific keys you intend, keeping everything else untouched. > > * **KMS Key**: The AWS KMS key to encrypt secrets with, as an alias from the list or a key ID or key ARN you enter (enter the key ARN if your IAM policy uses the `secretsmanager:KmsKeyId` condition key to require a specific key) > > * **Tags**: Optional tags to add to secrets synced by Infisical. > > * **Sync Secret Metadata as Tags**: If enabled, metadata attached to secrets will be added as tags to secrets synced by Infisical. > > > [!NOTE] > > > > Manually configured tags from the **Tags** field will take precedence over secret metadata when tag keys conflict. > > * **Auto-Sync Enabled**: If enabled, secrets will automatically be synced from the source location when changes occur. Disable to enforce manual syncing only. > * **Disable Secret Deletion**: If enabled, Infisical will not remove secrets from the sync destination. Enable this option if you intend to manage some secrets manually outside of Infisical. > > 6. Configure the **Details** of your Secrets Manager Sync, then click **Next**. > > ![Configure Details](https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/infisical/images/secret-syncs/aws-secrets-manager/aws-secrets-manager-details.png) > > * **Name**: The name of your sync. Must be slug-friendly. > * **Description**: An optional description for your sync. > > 7. Review your Secrets Manager Sync configuration, then click **Create Sync**. > > ![Confirm Configuration](https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/infisical/images/secret-syncs/aws-secrets-manager/aws-secrets-manager-review.png) > > 8. If enabled, your Secrets Manager Sync will begin syncing your secrets to the destination endpoint. > > ![Sync Secrets](https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/infisical/images/secret-syncs/aws-secrets-manager/aws-secrets-manager-created.png) > [tab] API > > To create an **AWS Secrets Manager Sync**, make an API request to the [Create AWS > Secrets Manager Sync](https://infisical.com/docs/api-reference/endpoints/secret-syncs/aws-secrets-manager/create.md) API endpoint. > > ### Sample request > > ```bash Request theme={"dark"} > curl --request POST \ > --url https://app.infisical.com/api/v1/secret-syncs/aws-secrets-manager \ > --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ > --data '{ > "name": "my-secrets-manager-sync", > "projectId": "3c90c3cc-0d44-4b50-8888-8dd25736052a", > "description": "an example sync", > "connectionId": "3c90c3cc-0d44-4b50-8888-8dd25736052a", > "environment": "dev", > "secretPath": "/my-secrets", > "isEnabled": true, > "syncOptions": { > "initialSyncBehavior": "overwrite-destination" > }, > "destinationConfig": { > "region": "us-east-1", > "mappingBehavior": "one-to-one" > } > }' > ``` > > ### Sample response > > ```bash Response theme={"dark"} > { > "secretSync": { > "id": "3c90c3cc-0d44-4b50-8888-8dd25736052a", > "name": "my-secrets-manager-sync", > "description": "an example sync", > "isEnabled": true, > "version": 1, > "folderId": "3c90c3cc-0d44-4b50-8888-8dd25736052a", > "connectionId": "3c90c3cc-0d44-4b50-8888-8dd25736052a", > "createdAt": "2023-11-07T05:31:56Z", > "updatedAt": "2023-11-07T05:31:56Z", > "syncStatus": "succeeded", > "lastSyncJobId": "123", > "lastSyncMessage": null, > "lastSyncedAt": "2023-11-07T05:31:56Z", > "importStatus": null, > "lastImportJobId": null, > "lastImportMessage": null, > "lastImportedAt": null, > "removeStatus": null, > "lastRemoveJobId": null, > "lastRemoveMessage": null, > "lastRemovedAt": null, > "syncOptions": { > "initialSyncBehavior": "overwrite-destination" > }, > "projectId": "3c90c3cc-0d44-4b50-8888-8dd25736052a", > "connection": { > "app": "aws", > "name": "my-aws-connection", > "id": "3c90c3cc-0d44-4b50-8888-8dd25736052a" > }, > "environment": { > "slug": "dev", > "name": "Development", > "id": "3c90c3cc-0d44-4b50-8888-8dd25736052a" > }, > "folder": { > "id": "3c90c3cc-0d44-4b50-8888-8dd25736052a", > "path": "/my-secrets" > }, > "destination": "aws-secrets-manager", > "destinationConfig": { > "region": "us-east-1", > "mappingBehavior": "one-to-one" > } > } > } > ``` This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
