An API key from a committee is needed to connect that committee to Mobilize for syncing. An admin user of an EveryAction, NGP, or VAN committee can request and approve their own API key for use with Mobilize.
Step 1: Check whether or not you have permission to approve API keys
In your committee, go to Support Request Setup. Approve API Requests will be lit green corresponding with your name if you have permission:
Step 2: Request an API key for Mobilize
Open the API Integrations page from the Sidebar
Click Request an API Key
In the modal, select Mobilize from Integration
Find and select the person who should receive the API request, ideally, yourself or your committee administrator
Submit your request
Step 3: Approve the requested API key
Open the API Integrations page from the Sidebar
Click View Support Request
Scroll until you see the Deny API Key Request and Approve API Key Request buttons
Click on Approve API Key Request
In the modal, select an expiration date OR approve without an expiration date
Step 4: Generate the API key
Note Bene: Only continue with this step IF you are ready to plug the API key into Mobilize or send it to Mobilize Support enclosed in an OneTimeSecret link. When you generate an API key, you will only see the key this one time.
Once a request has been approved, open the API Integrations page from the Sidebar
Locate the API key you requested
Click Generate API Key
Copy the entire string below One-Time Mobilize API Key
Next Step: Install in Mobilize
