Hello,

I hope someone can help me :

I got a message that my API key has been inactive for over 120 days and that it will automatically expire in 45 days. What are the implications if i don’t renew it (as I have no clue to what I am using it for) ?

Will i loose my contacts, lists etc ?

thank you in advance for your help

Hey @Sand

It will only matter if you are using it for some integration. If you have an app that uses a API key and it expires, it will no longer be able to make a connection to your portal. You will not lose anything in your portal. Lists, object records, workflows and everything else will be safe 😀
