The following steps outline how to get the API credentials needed to integrate Workforce with [commercetools](https://commercetools.com) to be able to browse and select products.

You'll need the same credentials to configure the commercetools action extension for use in Workforce Flows, and for setting up a commerce repository for  Workforce content generation templates.

- [Installing action extension](https://amplience.com/developers/docs/workforce/setup/integrations/#installing-an-action-extension) explains how to install extensions from the Workforce integrations marketplace.

- [Setting up a commerce repository](https://amplience.com/developers/docs/workforce/setup/integrations/#setting-up-commerce-repositories) provides more information about adding commerce repositories.

## What you'll need

You will need the following information from your commercetools account to set up the integration in Workforce.

- Project key
- API base URL
- Auth base URL
- Client ID
- Client Secret

You can create new API Client or use the information from an API Client that you've already setup.

## Creating a new API Client
