How to revoke an API key
How do I revoke an API key?
This article explains how to revoke an API key. Follow these steps to disable programmatic access for a specific integration. This ensures your workspace data remains secure.
In this article, you will learn how to
- Revoke an API key from a service account.
- Stop external integrations from using a disabled token.
- Handle confirmation blocks on the dashboard.
Before you start
Before revoking an API key, make sure you have:
- Admin access to your Flownally workspace.
- A service account containing at least one API key.
Important: Revoking an API key is permanent and cannot be undone. Any software using this token will lose connection to your account immediately.
How to revoke an API key
- Log in to your Flownally workspace.
- Go to the Settings tab.
- Go to the API Access section
- Click on a service account.
- Click on the Revoke button next to a specific key.
- Confirm by clicking on the Yes, delete button.
What happens after revoking an API key?
After revoking an API key, the target token is permanently deleted from your service account. Any external tool attempting to connect with this credential will receive an authentication error. Your system access remains safe from old integrations.
Troubleshooting
Revoke button is unclickable
This happens due to a temporary interface loading lag. You must refresh your dashboard page and try clicking again.
Key is still listed after deletion
This occurs because of a temporary database synchronization delay. You need to reload your browser tab to see the updated status.
