Overview
The Automation Secret Key is a unique credential that authenticates your Feedspace form automation with external tools such as Pabbly Connect, Make, n8n, and Zapier. You need to copy this key and paste it into the integration platform to allow it to trigger actions in your Feedspace account.
Steps to Generate the Key
- In the left sidebar, click Automation under the Workspace section.
- You land on the Automation tab by default. Scroll down to the Automation Secret Key section.
- If no key exists yet, click Generate Automation Secret Key.
- Once the key appears, click the Copy button to copy it to your clipboard.
- Paste the key into your integration platform (for example, the Feedspace app connection in Pabbly Connect, Make, or n8n).
How to Regenerate the Key
If your key has been exposed or you want to rotate it for security reasons, click the Regenerate button. A new key is created immediately. Any integration using the old key will stop working until you update it with the new key.
Common Confusion
Is the Automation Secret Key the same as the API Key?
No. The Automation Secret Key is used specifically to authenticate form automation integrations with platforms like Pabbly Connect and Make. The API Key, found on the API tab, is for developer integrations with the Feedspace REST API. They are separate credentials for different use cases.
Where do I find the Automation Secret Key when setting up Pabbly Connect?
When adding Feedspace as a trigger app in Pabbly Connect, it will ask for an API Key. That field expects your Feedspace Automation Secret Key. Copy it from the Automation tab in Feedspace and paste it there.
Troubleshooting
My integration is not connecting after I paste the key
Check for extra spaces before or after the key when pasting. The Copy button copies the exact key, so using it instead of typing manually helps avoid errors. If the issue persists, regenerate the key and try again with the new value.
What You Can Do Next
- Use the key to connect Feedspace to Pabbly Connect, Make, or n8n for notification or backup automations.
- Generate your API Key from the API tab if you need programmatic access to Feedspace data.
