# Bookingmood - How do I link my account?

## Overview

To authenticate with Bookingmood, you need:

1. **API Key** — a Bookingmood API key for your organization.

This guide will show you how to create one.

### Prerequisites

* A Bookingmood account. You can [sign up](https://www.bookingmood.com/en-US/auth/sign-up) for a free 14-day trial, no credit card required.

### Step 1: Create an API key

1. Sign in to the [Bookingmood admin dashboard](https://www.bookingmood.com/admin).
2. Click **Settings** in the left navigation, then click **API keys** in the settings menu.

3. Click **+ API key** and enter a description, for example the name of your integration.
4. Leave **Full access** ticked, or untick it and choose **None**, **Read** or **Write** for each area (Bookings, Channels, Messages, Organization, Products and Reviews) your integration needs. Then click **Confirm**.

5. In the **API key created** dialog, copy the key with the copy button, then click **Done**.

> [!TIP]
>
> Bookingmood shows the key only once. Store it securely; if you lose it, create a new one.

### Step 2: Enter your API key in the Connect UI

1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with Bookingmood.
2. Enter your key in the **API Key** field.
3. Submit the form. The connection is saved without checking the key: if the key is wrong, the first API request returns an authentication error.

You are now connected to Bookingmood.
