API Keys

API keys allow automated access to your CRM data, synchronize data with other systems, and create custom integrations or solutions.

Create an API Key

1. Go to Settings → APIs & Webhooks
2. Click + Create key at the top right
3. Configure your API key:
   • Name: Give your API key a descriptive name
   • Expiration Date: Set when the key should expire
4. Click Save to generate your API key
5. Important: Copy and store your API key immediately, it's only shown once

Once created, your API key provides access to your custom API documentation and playground where you can test endpoints with your actual data model.

Webhooks

Webhooks allow for immediate updates to your specified URL about changes or events related to your customer data.

For example, when an Opportunity moves to "Closed Won", a webhook can automatically trigger invoice creation in your accounting system. Note that this type of automation can also be achieved using Twenty's in-app Workflows feature, which offers triggers based on field updates for internal automation.

Webhooks are ideal for integrating with external systems, while Workflows support both internal automation and external tool connections via webhook triggers, code nodes, and HTTP nodes.

Create a Webhook

1. Go to Settings → APIs & Webhooks → Webhooks
2. Click + Create webhook

Your webhook will immediately start receiving real-time notifications about changes to your CRM data.
