All Automate Chats API requests require a secret API key for authentication. This key identifies your account and ensures that only authorized systems can send messages on your behalf.

1

Open Settings

Log in to your dashboard and click on More in the top navigation bar.

3

Create New API Key

4

Name and Save

5

Secure your Key

Copy the generated secret immediately. For security reasons, it will not be shown again.

​
Using the API Key

Include your secret key in the X-API-Key header of all your HTTP requests.

Example Request

curl --request GET \
  --url https://api.automatechats.com/api/templates/approved \
  --header 'X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY'

const options = {
  method: 'GET',
  headers: {
    'X-API-Key': 'YOUR_API_KEY',

Security Warning: Never share your API key or commit it to public repositories. If your key is compromised, delete it immediately from the dashboard and generate a new one.
