Store a secret
Keep an external access token or API key in Monark so automations can use it without anyone seeing it. Secrets are stored encrypted, and once saved, a value is never shown again to anyone.
- In Admin, open Secrets and click New secret.
- Enter a Name, such as
GITHUB_TOKEN: letters, digits and underscores, starting with a letter or underscore. Automations pick the secret by this name. - Paste the Value.
- Optionally add a Description of what it's for.
- Click Create.
The list shows each secret's name, when it was Last used and when it was Updated, never its value.
Replace a value
Click the secret, enter a new Value and click Save. Leaving the value blank keeps the current one, so you can edit the description alone.
Delete a secret
Click the secret, then Delete under Danger zone, and confirm. Automations that refer to it by name get nothing from then on.
For how secrets fit with webhooks, API keys and service accounts, see Secrets.
