Create and manage API keys for integrations
Create, rename, revoke, regenerate or delete the API keys your team uses to connect integrations such as Zapier, and keep each key safe.
The API Keys page is where your team creates and manages the keys that let outside tools, such as Zapier, connect to your account. A key works like a password for one integration, so you can turn off one tool without affecting the others.
How to open API keys
Section titled “How to open API keys”- Open Team settings (the Team group in the left menu).
- Next to Team API Keys, select Manage API Keys.
Any active member of your team can open this page.
