  2. To generate an API key for an existing technician, click the Edit icon next to Technician

  3. Click Generate link under the API key details block. Make sure that the Enable login for this technician option is checked. generate sdp API key

Copy the key and follow the next steps to create an integration profile in NetCrunch

  2. Select Service Desk plus tile (or click add in bottom left corner if any integration exists already) sdp integration
  3. Fill an integration profile with data integration config
