Connect your Lusha API key to lemlist

Paste your Lusha API key in lemlist from the Integrations Marketplace if you’re using the manual Lusha connection flow.

If you need to connect Lusha to lemlist with your own API key, this article walks you through the exact setup flow shown in the product. You’ll open your settings, start the Lusha connection from Integrations, and paste your key into lemlist. This article covers the manual API-key setup only.

  • If your workspace uses the newer Lusha activation flow, you will not paste an API key here.

Prerequisites

  • You need a valid Lusha API key from your Lusha account.
