Set up and import
API keys, AI agents and webhooks
Let your own AI assistant or another system work with ClockinBee, and be told when something happens.
Create a key
- Open Settings, then AI and API.
- Under Create a key, give it a Name you will recognise, for example Assistant for the office.
- Under What may this key do?, choose Read only (changes nothing) or Everything (makes changes).
- Choose Create key. Copy the key now: it is shown once. Then choose I've saved it.
A key can do what the person who made it can do, limited to what was ticked when it was made. Never more. Every change a key makes is in the audit log. Choose Revoke to stop a key straight away.
Connect an AI assistant
Under Connect an AI assistant, copy the MCP address and the MCP client config into your assistant, with a key in place of the placeholder.
Webhooks
- Under Add a webhook, enter the Address to send to. It must start with https://.
- Under Send when, tick what you want to be told about: clocking, timesheets, time off or the schedule.
- Choose Add webhook, and keep the Signing secret to check that messages really come from ClockinBee.
The Developers page has the full list of tools, events and limits.
