Connect it
Zotero connects with a token you make in Zotero: its API key.
On zotero.org open Settings, then Security, and under Applications press Create new private key. Name it, tick Allow library access, Allow notes access and (for the actions) Allow write access; for your groups choose Read Only or Read/Write under Default Group Permissions. Save the key and copy it - it is shown once. Open Zotero's settings.
Then in the console, open Connectors, pick Zotero, check whose memory it feeds, paste the API key and Save token. It is checked with Zotero and stored encrypted, and the last 90 days start arriving within a few minutes. See Overview for what happens to what it reads.
