Security Update for Inactive API Keys and Tokens

Legacy v1 API keys inactive for 90+ days auto-expire, and Private Integration Tokens are reinforced for new credentials going forward.

SMBcrm has updated how legacy v1 API keys are managed to reduce the risk of unused credentials and support the transition to Private Integration Tokens.

Legacy v1 API keys that have been inactive for more than 90 days are now automatically marked as expired. Active keys are not affected.

What changed

  • Legacy v1 API keys inactive for more than 90 days are automatically marked as expired
  • This applies to both agency-level and account-level keys
  • Expired keys can be made usable again by rotating or refreshing them
  • New v1 API key creation is no longer supported
  • Email notifications are sent for keys nearing expiration
  • Private Integration Tokens should be used for new credentials going forward

Why it matters

This change helps reduce security risk from stale credentials and encourages a more consistent approach for new integrations.

If you still rely on an expired legacy key, you can restore access by rotating or refreshing that key.
