How to Create an OpenAI Secret API Key and Connect It to DoubleTick

Follow these steps to generate a secure OpenAI API key and integrate it with DoubleTick.

Step 1: Create a Secret API Key

1️ Go to the API Keys Page

2️ Click “Create Secret Key”

  • Click the “Create new secret key” button.

3️ Define Ownership

  • If the key is for your personal use, choose Personal account.

  • If the key is for your team or company, choose Service account and assign it to your organization.

4️ Name Your Key

  • Give your key a clear name — e.g., “DoubleTick Integration” — so you remember what it’s for.

5️ Select a Project

  • If you already have a project, you can assign the key to it.

  • If not, you can keep it under the Default Project.

6️ Set Permissions

  • You can choose to restrict which models and capabilities the key can access.

  • For most use cases, it’s fine to allow Full Access to models.

7️ Click “Create Secret Key”

  • Once generated, copy your secret key immediately — you won’t be able to see it again later!


Step 2: Integrate with DoubleTick

1️ Log in to DoubleTick

2️ Go to Settings → Integrations

  • In your DoubleTick dashboard, navigate to SettingsIntegrations.

3️ Select OpenAI

  • Find the OpenAI integration option.

4️ Paste Your Secret Key

  • Paste the secret API key you copied from OpenAI.

5️ Click “Connect”

  • Click Connect to link your DoubleTick account with OpenAI’s GPT models.


You’re Done!

Your DoubleTick workspace is now connected to OpenAI. You can use GPT-powered features as enabled by your DoubleTick plan.


Tip: Always keep your secret API key safe. If it’s ever exposed, revoke it immediately and generate a new one.
