### Integrate Applivery with Zero-touch

**Link Zero-touch to Applivery**

Once in the [**Applivery Dashboard**](https://dashboard.applivery.io), head to the **Settings** section and select the **Android** **Zero-touch** 2 from the left-hand menu.

You will need to link your Zero-touch to Applivery and follow the on-screen steps.

**View Devices in the Zero-touch portal**

Once the integration has been successfully completed, you just need to click on **View Devices in the Zero-touch portal** 2.

**Add a new configuration**

A new window will open in your browser, where you will find the **Configurations** 3 section. You can add a new configuration by simply clicking the **\+ Add configuration** 4 button placed on the right side of the screen.

### Adding the configuration to your Devices

Once the configuration is created, navigate to the **Devices** section from the left-side menu. Here, you’ll find a list of Devices currently active with Zero-touch that need to be assigned a configuration. This ensures that automatic enrollment points to the correct configuration, allowing the Device to enroll properly.

To assign a configuration, select **Edit** on the desired Device. Then, choose the appropriate configuration from the drop-down menu.

From this point on, the Device will automatically enroll in Applivery after a factory reset, requiring no additional action.

**Navigate to Android Smart Enrollments**

**Select Zero-touch**

Then, click on the **vertical dots** 7 located at the end of the Smart Enrollment you wish to configure within the Zero-touch Portal and select **Zero-touch** 8.
