### Step 3: Generate or Add an API Key

1. Click the **Generate New Key** if you do not have one yet.
   * A unique code will be generated that will serve as your access key.
2. If you already have an API key, click **Add Key** and enter the code provided by the platform you want to integrate.

> **Attention:** Make sure to copy the key exactly as it is displayed, as any error will prevent the integration.

### Step 4: Configure Permissions

1. After registering the key, you will be able to configure the permissions for the integration.
2. Choose the resources that the integrated platform can access, such as:
   * Contacts
   * Leads
   * Deals

Click **Save** to confirm the settings.

2. Check if data is being sent and received correctly between the platforms.

Done! Now your API key is registered and working in Sprinthub CRM. If you have questions or encounter problems during the process, contact Sprinthub technical support.
