2. Open Account -> API (API key management page) and click Create Key.

3. Enter a Name that tells you which application uses the key.
4. Under Brands and Actions, limit the key to what your integration needs (for example brands/list and brands/get), then click Create.

5. Click Copy to clipboard to copy the API key, then click OK.

​

Step 2: Enter your API key in the Connect UI

1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with BigMailer.
2. Enter your API Key in the designated field.
3. Click Connect.

You are now connected to BigMailer.
