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:

API KeyGenerated from the Meraki Dashboard under the service account

We recommend creating a dedicated service account with minimal permissions rather than using a personal admin account.

  1. Log in to your Meraki Dashboard and navigate to Organization → Administrators.
  2. Click Add admin and fill in the details for the service account.
  3. Assign roles with read-only access:
    • Organization: Observer
    • Network: Observer (for the networks you want Pult to access)
  4. Click Save Changes to create the account.
  5. Activate the account by following the invitation email and setting a password.

Navigate to Organization → Administrators in the Meraki Dashboard

Add a new admin with read-only permissions

Save the new administrator

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

  1. Log in to the Meraki Dashboard with the service account.
  2. Navigate to Organization → API & Webhooks → API keys and Access.
  3. Click Generate API key.
  4. Copy the API key and save it securely -- it will only be shown once.

Click Generate API key in the Meraki Dashboard

Step 3: Configure in Pult

  1. In the Pult Dashboard, go to Settings → Presence → WiFi Settings.
  2. Click Add Integration and select Cisco Meraki.
  3. Enter the API Key from Step 2.
  4. Click Save.

Pult validates the credentials on save. Once connected, the integration status will show as Connected.

Copy the generated API key
