## API Key

This field lets you add the authorization token required to connect your PaperCut account to Nexudus when [enabling the integration](/v3/docs/integrating-papercut-bridge).

You don't need to update this key after the initial setup unless you switch to a new PaperCut account or change your token for security reasons.
