Elastic Email - How do I link my account?

​

Overview

To authenticate with Elastic Email, you need:

1. API Key — an API key from your Elastic Email settings.

This guide will show you how to get it.

​

Prerequisites

• An Elastic Email account. You can sign up for free.

​

Step 1: Create an API key

1. Log in to Elastic Email and click Settings in the left sidebar.
2. In the API section, click Manage API keys.

3. On the API Keys page, click Create.

4. Enter a name for the key and choose the permissions your integration needs: View only for read-only access, or Custom to pick access per area. Optionally set an expiration date or an access restriction, then click Create.

5. In the API key created popup, click Copy and save the key. It is only shown once.

​

Step 2: Enter your API key in the Connect UI

1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with Elastic Email.
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 Elastic Email.
