# CA to Hybrid Runner
Coherent Assistant can integrate with a deployed hybrid runner, allowing the logical engine to process data locally within the hybrid runner. With a few configuration steps, the results are seamlessly returned to the Coherent Assistant. This setup is ideal for customers with strict data processing regulations, enabling them to utilize Spark within their secure environment without having to transfer data externally.
Below is a diagram to illustrate the process of Coherent Assistant interacting with a locally deployed Hybrid Runner.
We are assuming that the Hybrid Runner has been properly set up locally in your environment. If not, please visit \

**Steps for setting up Coherent Assistant to Hybrid Runner**
1. Coherent Assistant should be properly installed in your environment, if not please visit
2. Log on to your SaaS tenant and go to Options\
3. Under **General configurations**, you will need to make adjustments to the Coherent Assistant Hybrid Runner URL. This will be the location of where your Hybrid Runner is set up. Hit Save to save the configuration
4. Open your Excel file containing Coherent Assistant, log in to your tenant, and now your Assistant will be able to connect to your Hybrid Runner. Coherent Assistant will now redirect traffic to your locally deployed runner.
The behavior of Coherent Assistant remains consistent across both the SaaS platform and the Hybrid Runner. However, the key difference lies in the location of data processing. Since the processing occurs locally within the Hybrid Runner, the SaaS platform will not retain a record of the API history. It is the customer's responsibility to manage the saving and storage of API history post-processing.
