### Example integration

For an example manifest file of an Front integration, visit our [samples repo on Github](https://github.com/amp-labs/samples/blob/main/front/amp.yaml).

## Before You Get Started

### Creating an API key for Front

[Click here](https://dev.frontapp.com/docs/create-and-revoke-api-tokens) for more information about generating an API key for Front. The UI components will display this link, so that your users can successfully create API keys.

## Using the connector

This connector uses API Key auth, which means that you do not need to set up a Provider App before getting started. (Provider apps are only required for providers that use OAuth2 Authorization Code grant type.)

To start integrating with Front:

* Create a manifest file like the [example](https://github.com/amp-labs/samples/blob/main/front/amp.yaml).
* Deploy it using the [amp CLI](/cli/overview).
* If you are using Read Actions, create a [destination](/destinations).
* Embed the [InstallIntegration](/embeddable-ui-components#install-integration) UI component. The UI component will prompt the customer for an API key.
* Start using the connector!
  * If your integration has [Read Actions](/read-actions), you'll start getting webhook messages.
  * If your integration has [Write Actions](/write-actions), you can start making API calls to our Write API.
  * If your integration has [Proxy Actions](/proxy-actions), you can start making Proxy API calls.
