# API Key Generation
> Learn how to create and manage API keys in your thinkrr dashboard to connect with external services like CRMs, automation tools, and property platforms.
## Overview
This video guide also contains informaiton on [**Webhook Support**](/Webhook-Support).
API keys are essential for securely connecting thinkrr to third-party platforms such as Make, Hostaway, Zapier, and other automation or CRM tools. This document walks you through the process of generating reusable API keys from within your thinkrr dashboard and explains how they can be used across integration workflows.
## Details
thinkrr API keys allow authorized platforms to access your account securely and trigger specific AI-driven voice actions, such as launching calls, retrieving data, or handling inbound routing logic.
These keys are used in authentication headers of HTTP requests, ensuring secure and direct communication between thinkrr and your chosen external system. You can generate and manage multiple keys to isolate integrations or revoke access if needed.
### How to Generate an API Key
* In your **thinkrr Dashboard**, navigate to your **Profile Settings**.
* Inside **Profile Settings**, click on **Integration Settings**.
* In the **Integration Settings** page, locate the **API Keys** section underneath **Webhook Integration**.
* Click **Generate Key** to create a new API key for external integration.
* When prompted, **name your API key** for easier identification (e.g., "CRM Sync" or "Hostaway Link").
* Each key generated is unique, even if multiple keys share the same name.
* After generation, click the **Copy** icon next to the key to copy it to your clipboard.
## Integrations
Below is an example of how a generated thinkrr API key can be used within a third-party platform integration.
* Go to [make.com](https://make.com) and sign into your dashboard.
* Navigate to **Connections** to begin building or modifying a workflow.
* Click **Scenario Builder** to create a new automation.
* You can also edit an existing scenario if one is already configured.
* Inside the scenario, click the **+** icon to add a module.
* Search for **HTTP** and select **HTTP - Make a request**.
* This will allow you to connect with thinkrr’s API.
* Select the HTTPS request type:\
**“Send an HTTPS request to a specified URL that requires API Key Auth authorization and processes the response.”**
* Click **Create a keychain** to begin authentication setup.
* **Name** your keychain (e.g., `thinkrr Integration`).
* **Paste your API key value** from thinkrr.
* Set **API Key Placement** to `Header`.
* Leave the **Parameter Name** unchanged unless your HTTP request specifies otherwise.
* Ensure the header name matches the field in your HTTP module settings.

## FAQs & Troubleshooting
### General Questions
API keys are used in integration workflows with tools like **Make**, **Hostaway**, or **GHL**. They are typically placed in the **Authorization header** of an HTTP request to validate access and trigger actions in thinkrr.
Yes. You can create multiple API keys with different names. This helps you manage access separately for each service or client and allows revoking individual keys without disrupting other connections.
Only share your API key with trusted platforms or developers. Treat it like a password — anyone with the key can access the associated thinkrr functions. If a key is compromised, revoke it immediately by deleting it in the **Integration Settings**.
