How do I obtain my GrowthZone API key?

You must request an API key from GrowthZone WebSupport. They will verify your account's API access level and provide the credentials needed to connect your agent.

Can I search for specific members by their email or name?

Yes! Use the `search_contacts` tool. You can provide a name or email address as a query, and the agent will return all matching profiles from your database.

How can I see who is registered for an upcoming event?

Simply ask the agent to list participants for a specific Event ID. It will fetch the registration list and provide names and details of all attendees.

Is the integration secure for managing my association's data?

Absolutely. The connection uses industry-standard API keys and focuses on querying operations. Your credentials are encrypted and stored securely within the Vinkius Cloud infrastructure.
