Create your new platform by first giving it a name that will easily distinguish it from another platform when creating a new integration.

From the drop-down menu, select *SendGrid*.

Copy your API Key.

**NOTE** this is the only time you can copy the API key, it will disappear after this screen and a new API key will need to be created if a copy is not used right away.

Return to InboxGeek and enter the copied API key in the *API key/Token* field.

Click *Create Platform*. InboxGeek will fire a ping to the API key to confirm all is accurately entered.

If there are no issues then it will add the platform and populate the *Next*button.
