How to Find Your API Key in Insightly CRM

To integrate Insightly CRM with third-party tools, such as Chrome extensions, you need to access your API key. This guide will walk you through the steps to find and use your Insightly CRM API key for connecting your CRM to external applications.

Steps to Access Your API Key in Insightly CRM

1. Log into Your Insightly CRM Account
   Go to Insightly CRM and log in using your account credentials.
2. Navigate to the User Settings
   In the top-right corner of the dashboard, click on your profile icon or name, then select User Settings from the dropdown menu.

    

   

3. Scroll Down to the API Key Section
   In the User Settings page, scroll down until you find the API Key section. This is where you’ll see your personal API key displayed.

    

   

4. Copy the API Key
   Click the Copy button next to the API key to copy it to your clipboard. This key will allow third-party tools to securely communicate with your Insightly CRM account.

    

   

5. Copy the API URL
   The API URL is typically the base URL of your Insightly CRM account (e.g., https://yourcompany.insightly.com). You can copy this from the browser’s address bar.
6. Use the API Key and API URL in Your Integration
   Once you’ve copied the API key and API URL, paste them into the relevant fields of the tool or Chrome extension you’re setting up.

Example: Using the API Key with a Chrome Extension

• API Key: Copy and paste from your User Settings.
• API URL: Copy your Insightly account URL from your browser (e.g., https://yourcompany.insightly.com).
• Login Email: Use the email address associated with your Insightly account for authentication purposes.

That’s it! You’ve successfully located your API key in Insightly CRM.

For quick access to the API settings, you can go directly to: https://app.insightly.com/user/settings (or replace app with your subdomain if needed).
