How to Find Your User API Token

The User API Token (which is also sometimes called an "API Key") is a unique identifier generated by a Simpli.fi user to allow a third-party application like NinjaCat access to the data in their account. Here is the step-by-step instructions on how to generate, or find your existing, Simpli.fi User API Token.

1. Log in at app.simpli.fi using your Simpli.fi credentials

2. Once logged in, click on "Admin" from the top menu options to reveal the Admin Menu

3. From the Admin Menu click on "User Settings" from the list of options

4. Click on "API Key" from the list of User Settings near the left of the screen

6. Copy your API Key and paste it in the "User API Token" field under the Simpli.fi Network Settings

How to Find Your Top-Level Organization ID

Simpli.fi offers several tools to organize your accounts in their programmatic marketing platform, one of which is the ability to "nest" one of your organizations hierarchically under another. When granting Simpli.fi access to a third-party application like NinjaCat, it is necessary to specify which organization's data you would like to make available by providing the desired "Top Level Organization ID" (sometimes called "Org ID"). Here are step-by-step instructions on how to find the top-level Organization ID in Simpli.fi

1. Log in at app.simpli.fi using your Simpli.fi credentials

2. Once logged in, click on "Admin" from the top menu options to reveal the Admin Menu

3. From the Admin Menu click on "Organizations" from the list of options

4. From the list of your account's Organizations search for the highest level of the hierarchy containing the organizations you would like to make available to NinjaCat, then click on it to select it

Selecting an Organization lower than the very top level will prevent data from some of the other organizations in your account from being available in NinjaCat. It is recommended that you search for and select the highest level Organization in your Simpli.fi account at this stage of the setup.

5. Copy the top-level Organization's "Organization ID" number (or "Org ID") which is found near the top right corner of the organization's form

6. Paste the Org ID in the "Top Level Organization ID" field under the Simpli.fi Network Settings
