Connecting Lexware Office: how to find your key

The interface is only available in Lexware Office XL.

Does not apply to the selected option.

How it works

Go to app.lexware.de/addons/public-api — or in Lexware Office: Extensions → “More apps” → “Public API”.
“Create API key”, choose “Key with all permissions”, name: dammi. The permissions cannot be changed later.
Copy the key immediately — it is only shown once.
Paste it into dammi under Data › ERP system and save. dammi checks the connection right away and tells you in one sentence whether it works.

Check first, then save: the access is only saved if your system answers correctly with the data you entered. Otherwise any previous access stays as it was.
The key is stored encrypted and never shown to you again. You only see since when it has been stored.
You start the first sync under Data › Sync. dammi fetches items, customers and, where your system keeps them, prices. This can take a few minutes; you may leave the page meanwhile.
After that dammi syncs on its own every night, and the status of your orders several times a day as well.
dammi creates every order from your customers in your system.
If your key expires, we remind you by email two weeks and three days before. If your system no longer accepts it, we write to you straight away.

The key is valid for at most 24 months. We remind you by email two weeks before — then create a new one and enter it. If you extend it in Lexware instead, enter it once more afterwards, otherwise dammi reminds you too early.
API key: Lexware shows it only once. Choose “Key with all permissions” — this cannot be changed later, and otherwise dammi will be missing the documents.
