## Setup

**Required:** Carta OAuth client ID and client secret

**Where to find them:** [app.carta.com → Developer Settings → OAuth apps](https://app.carta.com/developers)

1. In the Notara dashboard, go to **Tools**.
2. Click the **Carta** tile.
3. Register an OAuth app in Carta's developer settings and note the client ID and client secret.
4. Enter both values in the connector fields and click **Verify & Save**.

Your client secret is encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. Carta issues short-lived bearer tokens automatically.

## Example Prompts

> "What does the current cap table look like — fully diluted ownership by stakeholder group?"

> "Is our 409A valuation still current, or is it near expiry?"

> "Show me fund performance for our main fund — IRR and TVPI."

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://notara.gitbook.io/notara-docs/connectors/carta.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
