Setup Guide
Step-by-step instructions for connecting Cisco Meraki to Pult Presence.
You need to create a service account (recommended) and generate an API key in the Meraki Dashboard, then enter the credentials into the Pult Dashboard.
Credentials you'll collect along the way:
| Credential | Source |
|---|---|
| API Key | Generated from the Meraki Dashboard under the service account |
Step 1: Create a Service Account (Recommended)
We recommend creating a dedicated service account with minimal permissions rather than using a personal admin account.
- Log in to your Meraki Dashboard and navigate to Organization → Administrators.
- Click Add admin and fill in the details for the service account.
- Assign roles with read-only access:
- Organization: Observer
- Network: Observer (for the networks you want Pult to access)
- Click Save Changes to create the account.
- Activate the account by following the invitation email and setting a password.



You can skip creating a service account and use an existing admin account, but a dedicated account with minimal permissions is recommended for security.
Step 2: Generate an API Key
- Log in to the Meraki Dashboard with the service account.
- Navigate to Organization → API & Webhooks → API keys and Access.
- Click Generate API key.
- Copy the API key and save it securely -- it will only be shown once.

Step 3: Configure in Pult
- In the Pult Dashboard, go to Settings → Presence → WiFi Settings.
- Click Add Integration and select Cisco Meraki.
- Enter the API Key from Step 2.
- Click Save.
Pult validates the credentials on save. Once connected, the integration status will show as Connected.
