# Lofty API Key

> Create an API key in Lofty and use it to connect your account.

## Let's connect your account

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open your API settings">
    Sign in to the Lofty account you want to connect, then use this shortcut:

    <Card title="Open Lofty Integrations" href="https://crm.lofty.com/admin/home/usersetting/appCenter" icon="arrow-up-right">
      Open My User Settings - Integrations in a new tab
    </Card>

    Can't use the shortcut? In Lofty, select the **Settings** icon, then go to **My User Settings → Integrations**. Scroll to **API Keys**.
