You can name the key whatever you like. In this case, we named it Greetly refresh key demo.

Click add once you’re finished.

Copy the new key and paste it into a text file. You’ll need it later. The key will disappear once you leave the page. If you lose the key, simply delete the old key and make a new one.


Note: Be sure to set a 6 month reminder to refresh the key. The integration will not work once the key expires.
