​
Configure Close

  3. Click the More menu (three dots) next to the user.
  4. Select Copy User ID (API).
  5. Paste this ID into the close_user_id field in CloudTalk.
If you see a validation error like close_user_id is required, make sure the field is not empty and the ID was copied correctly.

​
Create a Close API Key

  2. Click New API Key.
  1. Give it a name.

  2. When prompted, enter:
    • Authentication name: any name you prefer
    • API key: the key created in Close
  3. Click Create.
CloudTalk should show Authentication completed.

​
Select connected numbers

Under Connected Numbers (for Calls) and Connected Numbers for SMS, choose which CloudTalk numbers will sync to Close. You can select one or multiple numbers.

​
Activate the integration

  1. Scroll to the Integration Close section.
  2. Switch the integration from Inactive to Active.
Once activated, CloudTalk will begin syncing contacts, calls, and SMS with Close.

​
Disconnect or Remove the Integration
