Connect Lane with external applications like Zapier or the Chrome Extension using secure API keys. API keys allow you to securely connect your Lane account with third-party applications or custom internal tools. Common use cases include:
  • Automating workflows via Zapier
  • Sending data from Chrome Extension
  • Integrating Lane with in-house systems using the API endpoints

How to create an API key

To generate a new API key:
  1. Click your workspace name in the top-left corner.
  2. Go to Settings → API.
  3. Click Create API Key.
  4. Enter a name to identify the key and click Generate.
  5. Copy the key and store it securely — this is the only time you’ll be able to see it in full.
Treat your API key like a password. Do not share it publicly 🔐

​
Managing API keys

  • You can generate multiple API keys for different tools or purposes.
  • Revoke a key anytime by clicking the … menu next to it and selecting Delete.
  • We recommend creating separate keys per integration to maintain better control.

FAQs and troubleshooting

Q: I can’t see the API key again after generating it. What should I do?
A: For security reasons, API keys are shown only once when created. If you lose it, generate a new one and delete the old key. Q: Can I use the same key for multiple tools?
A: Yes, but we recommend creating unique keys for each tool to isolate access.
