Generating API keys

Create an API key to connect other systems to Quotivity, and copy it safely before you close the dialog.

This feature requires an Enterprise plan.

Overview

An API key lets another system connect to Quotivity on your behalf. You generate keys on the API Keys page, give each one a description so you can tell them apart, and copy the key when it’s created. Quotivity shows the full key only once, so store it somewhere secure.

Prerequisites

• An Admin role in Quotivity Studio
• A place to store the key securely, such as a password manager

Steps

1. Open Settings → API Keys. The API Key Library lists the keys on your account with their descriptions.
2. Click Create New API Key. A dialog opens with a warning that this is the only time you’ll be able to retrieve the key.
3. Add a description. Enter a Key Description that names where the key will be used — for example, the system you’re connecting.
4. Acknowledge and create. Check the box to confirm you understand the key shows only once, then click Create Key.
5. Copy the key. Click Copy Key and paste it straight into the system that needs it, or into secure storage. Once you close the dialog, the full key can’t be viewed again.
6. Confirm it’s ready. The new key appears in the API Key Library, and the connected system can now reach Quotivity.

Tips

• If you lose a key, you can’t recover it — delete the old one and generate a new one.
• Use a clear description per key so you know exactly what each integration is for and which to revoke if access should end.
