      Your private key is generated. Don't forget to copy it as this is the only time you'll be able to see it! Don't worry if you miss copying it, you can generate it again 😊. You can then close the window. Return to the window asking for the API key.

      What kinds of "Zaps" can be created with Iconosquare?

      "Zaps" are automations you configure between Iconosquare and other applications. Here are some examples:

      • Send notifications to Slack, Teams, a Notion board, or Trello...: Set up a Zap to automatically receive a message or notification on your productivity tools when a post is published, awaiting approval, or to remind you to check the performance of a post after 1 hour or 24 hours.
      • Ensure publication successes or failures: We make every effort to inform you about the success or failure of publishing your posts. However, would you prefer to receive notifications via WhatsApp or your team's instant messaging platform instead? You can set up these alerts using Zaps created with Iconosquare.

      • Duplicate your Iconosquare events (post publication) in your personal calendar: If you use Google Calendar and would like your posts to appear there, you can achieve this by setting up a dedicated Zap through Iconosquare.
