Open API Keys settings
In Arca, click your workspace in the top-left sidebar, select Settings, then go to the API Keys section.

Create a new key
Click Add new key. Enter a label (for example, “Zapier”), then select the scopes you want to grant. At minimum, enable write access for the resources you plan to use (Tasks, Comments, and so on). Optionally set an expiry date.

- Email → Arca task: When a starred or labeled email arrives in Gmail, create a task in Arca so nothing falls through the cracks.
- CRM deal → Arca task: When a deal moves to a new stage in HubSpot or Pipedrive, automatically create a follow-up task in Arca for your team.
- Support ticket → Arca task: When a new ticket is opened in Intercom or Zendesk, create a corresponding task in Arca to track the resolution.
- Sentry error → Arca task: When a new error or exception is captured in Sentry, automatically create a task in Arca so your team can track and prioritize the fix alongside other work.
