## API Keys

The **API Keys** section allows you to generate an API key for direct access to the Karla API.

:::info Good to Know

- This is mainly relevant if you are using custom or advanced integrations
- Standard Shopify or Klaviyo integrations usually do **not** require an API key
- If you plan to use the Karla API, please contact the Karla team before setting this up

- Ensure your store is correctly connected

### Messaging & CRM Integrations (e.g., Klaviyo, HubSpot)

You can also manage integrations with messaging and CRM tools such as:

- Klaviyo
- HubSpot
- Other supported notification systems

Here you can configure:

| Setting                     | Description                                                                 |
| --------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
