URL: https://docs.atlan.com/apps/connectors/business-intelligence/sisense/references/preflight-checks-for-sisense

> Atlan uses the [Folders API](https://sisense.dev/guides/restApi/v1/?platform=linux&spec=L2023.6#/folders) to check if it's responding with a response status code 200.

Before [running the Sisense crawler](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/connectors/sisense/crawl-sisense/llms.txt), you can run [preflight checks](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/catalog/connector-capabilities/what-are-preflight-checks/llms.txt) to perform the necessary technical validations. The following preflight checks will be completed:

## Folders API check

Atlan uses the [Folders API](https://sisense.dev/guides/restApi/v1/?platform=linux&spec=L2023.6#/folders) to check if it's responding with a response status code 200.

✅ `Check successful. Folders API is working.`

❌ `Check failed`

For example: `{"code":101,"message":"Access denied","status":403,"httpMessage":"Forbidden"}}#STATUS:403`

## Dashboards API check

Atlan uses the [Dashboards API](https://sisense.dev/guides/restApi/v1/?platform=linux&spec=L2023.6#/dashboards) to check if it's responding with a response status code 200.

✅ `Check successful. Dashboards API is working.`

❌ `Check failed`

For example: `{"code":101,"message":"Access denied","status":403,"httpMessage":"Forbidden"}}#STATUS:403`

## Datamodels API check

Atlan uses the [Datamodels API](https://sisense.dev/guides/restApi/v2/?platform=linux&spec=L2023.6#/Datamodels) to check if it's responding with a response status code 200. The Datamodels API check may fail with a response status code 403 if the [user only has _Viewer_ permissions](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/connectors/sisense/set-up-sisense/llms.txt).

✅ `Check successful. Datamodels API is working.`

❌ `Check failed`

For example: `{"code":101,"message":"Access denied","status":403,"httpMessage":"Forbidden"}}#STATUS:403`
