Last updated: 29 April 2026

Master API Key​

Use the master API key if:

  • you have configured a single integration;
  • you don't need to restrict access to data, channels, and groups via the edna Pulse API;
  • you don't need the key to have an expiration date.

Additional API Keys​

Use additional API keys if:

  • multiple integrations are configured;
  • you need to restrict access to edna Pulse data, channels, and API method groups;
  • you need to divide channel operations between systems;
  • you need a key expiration date.

Master Webhooks​

Use master webhooks if:

  • all events are processed in a single system;
  • you don't need to split processing logic across channels.

Additional Webhooks​

Use additional webhooks if:

  • a single event is processed in different systems;
  • different systems process different types of events;
  • you need to split the processing of events occurring in a single channel;
  • you need to process selected events in one or more channels.
