Create an API connection
Generate the endpoint, API token, secret key, mode, and access profile for a third-party system.
Where to create it
Open Company Settings → Developer API & Webhooks → Create new connection.
Recommended setup
- Enter a clear connection name such as n8n Automation, Online Store, Delivery Partner, or Website.
- Choose the connection type so logs are easier to understand later.
- Choose Live for real data or Test while the developer is experimenting.
- Choose Full Access for a trusted system or Custom Access for a specific integration.
- Create the connection and immediately copy the API token and secret key because they are shown only once.
After creation
The connection page shows the endpoint URL and sample payload. Developers should use Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN in every request.
