Onboarding
Adding the Sendlane channel requires you to add an API token and configure a custom integration for the site to which you're adding the channel.

Generating the API Access Token
It is recommended to generate a unique API access token for each integration, so you'll need to create an API token for Blotout for your account. This token will be used to authenticate API calls from Blotout to Sendlane.
To do this, log in to your Sendlane account and visit the API page. Here, you can create an API token by clicking on the (+) API token button. Enter any descriptive name (e.g., "Blotout") for the token, and Sendlane will generate a token for you. Be sure to copy and store this token for the marketing channel step later; this is the only opportunity to copy it after creating it.
Creating an Integration Token for Your Site
An integration is specific to a shop or website — you'll need to create a Sendlane Custom Integration for your property for Blotout to be able to attribute events to that particular property. The token generated in this step will attribute events to the property attached to this specific integration.
To create a new Custom Integration, go to the Integrations page and click the Sendlane Custom Integration box and select Configure. Afterwards, click the "Create New Custom Integration" button and complete the form. Click Continue.
After creating the integration, click the gear icon and copy the Token presented in the dialog.
Setting Access Tokens in the Channel Form
Once you have the two tokens, you can fill them out in the channel form and click Save & Deploy.
After setting up the two required tokens, you'll also need to set up custom events before Sendlane will accept them.
Setting up Custom Event Names
Before Sendlane can receive events from Blotout, you will need to set up custom event names in your account that match the list below. Click the globe button (WWW) to open the Custom Events page and create custom events.
You will need to create each of the following events in order to start receiving them inside Sendlane:
