## Getting Started

### What You'll Need

1. Your Amplitude Project API Key
2. The [Freshpaint Autotrack script tag](https://app.freshpaint.io/sources) installed on your site

### To set up the Amplitude integration in Freshpaint, first follow these steps:

1. To find your Amplitude project's unique API key, follow these steps:&#x20;
   1. In the Amplitude Analytics web app, click [**Settings**](http://analytics.amplitude.com/amp-dev-docs/settings/projects) in the lower left navigation.
   2. Click **Projects**, then find your target project.
   3. &#x20;On the **General** tab, copy your API key.

Only Admins and Managers can view the API Key in Amplitude.
{% endhint %}

2. Go to the [Amplitude configuration page](https://app.freshpaint.io/destinations/apps/amplitude) in Freshpaint and click "Configure" and enter your credentials.

### That's it! Now all you need to do to send an event to Amplitude is enable the destination in the Freshpaint event definition:

Navigate to your Freshpaint event, and toggle the destination on to enable the event to be sent to the Amplitude destination.

Once the Amplitude integration is enabled, you can now set it as an event destination:&#x20;

### If you are a HIPAA account, you will need to add event properties to the allowlist. If you are not a HIPAA account, you can skip this step.

By default, Freshpaint doesn’t sent any built-in property data to Amplitude. Go to the [Amplitude HIPAA Allowlist ](https://app.freshpaint.io/destinations/apps/amplitude/phiallowlist)to select which properties you want to send downstream.

### That's it! The last step is to confirm data is flowing into Amplitude

You can see recently triggered events in your Realtime Event Stream in Amplitude:

You can also view events and their associated users in the User Look-Up section in Amplitude:
