## Get a Test API Key

To use SignatureAPI in Power Automate, you need an API key.

You can start with a free test API key to try out the platform. Here’s how:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sign Up">
    [Sign up](https://accounts.signatureapi.com/sign-up) for a free SignatureAPI account.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Get your API key">
    Go to the [API Key section](https://dashboard.signatureapi.com/settings/api-keys) in your SignatureAPI settings to get your test key.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Test API keys let you create test envelopes. These are useful when building and testing your flows. Test envelopes:

* Don’t send emails to recipients, but you can see them in the Email section of your dashboard.
* Are not legally binding.
* Are free to use.

## Create a Connection

Use your test API key to create a connection to SignatureAPI in Power Automate:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open a Power Automate flow">
    In Power Automate, open an existing flow or create a new one.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a SignatureAPI action">
    Add the [Create Envelope](/docs/integrations/power-automate/actions/create-envelope) action from SignatureAPI.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create your connection">
    Enter a name for your connection (for example, `SignatureAPI Test`) and paste your test API key.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Learn more about [API keys and how to create them](/docs/api/authentication).

## Your First SignatureAPI Flow

Follow our [Quickstart](/docs/integrations/power-automate/guides/quickstart) to create an envelope and send it with SignatureAPI.

## Switch to Live Mode

When you're ready to send legally binding envelopes, add a payment method and get a live API key. Live envelopes:

* Send emails to recipients. You can also view these emails in your dashboard.
* Are legally binding.
* Are billed.

We recommend creating a new connection with your live API key. You can name it something like `SignatureAPI Live`.
