To locate the **API key**, click on **Integration Tools** within the [Returnly dashboard](https://dashboard.returnly.com/dashboard/tools/api_token).

In the **API Token** tab, you can find your account's **API token**. Click on the copy icon to copy and paste the value into your workflow's Returnly **API Key** field.
