Authentication

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.

Generating an API Key

Follow these steps to create your first API key.

Open Settings

Navigate to Webhook & API

From the dropdown menu, select Webhook & API. Webhook & API Menu

Create New API Key

Click on the APIs tab in the sidebar and then click the Create API Key button.

Name and Save

Enter a name for your key (e.g., “Automate CRM Integration”) and click Save. Create API Key Modal

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',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  }
};

fetch('https://api.automatechats.com/api/templates/approved', options)
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(response => console.log(response))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));
