Before starting, ensure you have 

  • An active Lynk and Daton account. 
  • Lynk API-Key Credentials.

Task 1: Get Your Lynk API-Key Credentials

The Lynk API uses API keys to authenticate all requests. Existing Lynk account owners can request an API key by emailing lynk@invenco.net. In the future, you will be able to manage your API keys in the Lynk Dashboard.

  • Users can check job status and process logs from the integration details page by clicking on the integration name in the active list. 
  • Users can Re-Authenticate, Edit, Clone, Pause or Delete the integration at any moment by clicking on settings. You can also adjust the frequency and history of the integration.
