Create and Manage API Keys

You can create up to 10 unique API keys per brand in SlickText for use with various applications or integrations. For security, SlickText does not display your API key again after it is created. If you may need to access it in the future, save it in a secrets manager or password manager immediately after creating it.

To create an API key:

1. Click API Keys, then click Create an API Key.
2. Enter a name for your API key.
3. SlickText will generate a unique API key and confirm that the key was created.
4. Click Copy Key to copy the API key, then paste it into the application or system you’re connecting to SlickText.
5. Once you’ve copied the key, close the pop-up.

Manage Your API Keys

After an API key is created, it will appear on the API Keys page. From here, you can see:

• The name of the API key
• When it was created and who created it
• Whether the key is active
• A masked version of the key
• Information about the key’s most recent request, including the date, IP address, and user agent

For security, the full API key cannot be viewed or copied from this page.

To manage an existing key, click the three-dot menu next to it. From there, you can deactivate or delete the API key.

If you need to use an API key in another application and no longer have the original key, click Create an API Key to generate a new one.

Create and Manage Webhooks

Webhooks allow SlickText to send information to another application when selected events occur.

To create a new webhook:

1. Click Webhooks, then click Create a Webhook.
2. Enter a Name for the webhook.
3. Enter a Description to help identify what the webhook is used for.
4. Enter the URL where SlickText should send webhook events.
5. Choose whether the webhook should be Active.
6. Under Events, select the events you want the webhook to subscribe to. You can select individual events, an entire category, or click Select All.
7. Click Save.

When you save the webhook, SlickText will automatically generate a Secret for it.
