API keys

This page is for admins. A OneClick API key has two uses:

  • The OneClick modules in Make use the key for their connection. See Start a Make scenario.
  • A transfer-enabled API key lets another Pipedrive company transfer Buttons to your company. See Transfer a Button.

OneClick has no other API for these keys.

The keys are personal. The list Personal API keys shows only the keys that you made. Other admins of your company do not see them.

  1. Click Settings at the bottom of the OneClick Panel.
  2. Click the Settings tab.
  3. Click API Keys in the menu at the left. The list Personal API keys shows.
  4. Click Create New API Key. The dialog Create New API Key opens.
  5. Type a name for the key in Label. Use a maximum of 100 characters.
  6. For a transfer-enabled API key, turn on Allow button transfers from other organizations. Otherwise, keep it off.
  7. Click Create. The list shows the key, its label and the date when you made it.

A transfer-enabled API key has (Transfers allowed) after its label. You cannot turn the transfer option on or off after you make the key. Make a new key instead.

When you turn on Allow button transfers from other organizations, OneClick shows a warning. The source company sees the label of the key in its transfer history. Do not put secret data in the label.

  1. Click the copy icon at the right of the key. OneClick copies the key to the clipboard.
  2. Paste the key in Make, or give it to the admin of the source company.

Keep the key secret. Each person who has the key can use it until you delete it.

  1. Click Delete at the right of the key. OneClick asks you to confirm.
  2. Click Yes, delete. OneClick removes the key from the list.

After you delete a key, a Make connection or a Button transfer with this key stops working.
