6. Post successful authentication you will be prompted to choose from the list of available tables
7. Then select all required fields for each table
8. Submit the integration.

### Workflow

1. Integrations would be in Pending state initially and will be moved to Active state as soon as the first job loads data successfully on to the configured warehouse
2. Users would be able to edit/pause/re-activate/delete integration anytime
3. Users can view job status and process logs from the integration details page by clicking on the integration name from the active list
