# Connect absence.io with API Key – StackOne Hub

> Link a absence.io account in the StackOne Hub using API Key. End-user guide to authorize the integration and start using absence.io actions.

> [!WARNING]
>
> The API Key has the same permissions as the absence.io account that generates it, so sign in as an Owner or Admin user for full access.

## Generate an API Key in absence.io

The API Key is created on your personal profile's **Integrations** tab, not under the company-level **Settings**.

**1. Generate the API Key**

Sign in to your [absence.io account](https://app.absence.io/) and click your name in the top-right of the header.

<ul>
  <li>Click **Show Profile**.</li>
  <li>In the profile sidebar, click **Integrations**.</li>
  <li>Under **API Key**, click **Generate API Key**.</li>
</ul>

**2. Copy the ID and Key**

Under **Key Generated**, copy the **ID** and the **Key** across.

<ul>
  <li>The **ID** is your API Key ID</li>
  <li>The **Key** is your API Key</li>
  <li>Both values stay visible on the **Integrations** tab, where you can also use **Regenerate API Key** or **Delete API Key**.</li>
  <li>Regenerating or deleting the key stops the existing connection, so reconnect with the new values afterward.</li>
</ul>

## Link the Account

**1. Connect**

<ul>
  <li>Click **Connect**.</li>
  <li>If applicable, the provider will redirect you to a sign-in or authorization page. Complete the provider's authorization flow.</li>
  <li>Once authorization is successful, you will see a confirmation popup.</li>
</ul>

**2. Use Actions**

Connect an AI platform to the linked account's actions. See [AI Platforms](https://docs.stackone.com/connect/ai-platforms/overview.md).

Other ways to call actions are listed in [Protocols & SDKs](https://docs.stackone.com/connect/protocols-and-sdks.md).
