FirstQuadrant’s Developer Settings section allows technical users to extend and integrate the platform through API keys, domain configuration, and webhook consumers. These tools enable external automation, secure tracking, and deeper custom integrations.

​
API keys

API keys let you authenticate and interact with the FirstQuadrant API programmatically. This is useful for automating workflows, syncing contacts or deals from third-party platforms, or triggering specific actions via scripts or custom tools.

​
How to create an API key

  1. Navigate to Settings > API keys under the Developers section.
  2. Click New API key in the top right corner.
  3. Enter a name for your API key (e.g., “Zapier Sync”, “CRM Integration”).
  4. Click Create API key.
Your new API key will appear in the list. You can monitor the Last usage field to check whether the key has been used in any recent API call.

​
Managing API keys

  • To delete a key, use the … menu on the right and click Delete.
  • Only unused or no-longer-needed keys should be deleted to maintain security.

​
Domains

Domains are used to configure tracking for opens and clicks when sending emails via FirstQuadrant. Verifying a domain ensures better deliverability and branding.

​
How to add and verify a domain

  1. Go to Settings > Domains under the Developers section.
  2. Click New domain on the top right.
  3. Enter your sending domain (e.g., example.com).
  4. Follow the instructions shown to add the required CNAME record to your DNS provider:
    • Type: CNAME
    • Name: fq
    • Value: prox.fqtrack.com
  5. Once the record is live, return to the Domains view and click Verify.
Domains that are successfully verified will be marked as such. If verification fails, double-check your DNS records and try again.
