Before you start​

Huntbase signs in to Freshworks Freshping with API Key. Create the credential in Freshworks Freshping first, then keep it to hand for the Connect step.

  1. Sign in to Freshping and go to Settings › Account.
  2. Copy your API Key.
Watch out for
  • The API key can create, update, delete and list checks, not just read them, so store it carefully.

For the vendor's own instructions, see Freshping API documentation.
