Cordial is a cross-channel messaging platform that allows brands to engage their customer base. Postscript integrates with Cordial allowing you to share information between the two solutions. With our Cordial integration, you can:
- Collect emails with Postscript popups and send them to Cordial.
- Collect custom properties with Postscript popups that forward to Cordial.
In order to integrate Postscript and Cordial, you'll need to create the appropriate API keys. In this article, we'll guide you through how to generate your Cordial Private API key and locate your Path URL.

2. Select API Keys.
3. Name your API key and add a description.

5. Choose to enable or disable API logging and set a specified amount of time you will allow API errors on the Account Monitor page (note: this parameter does not have an effect on the integration, but may be required when creating an API key).
