How to add the Vultr credential in Moss

The admin of the organization can add a new integration in different places throughout the web application, e.g. while adding a server, enabling/disabling integrations in a workspace, or managing the integrations at organization level (as in the following screenshot):

In any case, click New integration and provide the following inputs:

  • Name of the credential in Moss. This is how you can distinguish among different credentials. Examples: my-client-name, moss@vultr, etc.
  • API Key. Paste the content of the API Key you got in step 6 of the previous section.

Finally click Create.

You’ve integrated Vultr! Now you can launch a new server on Vultr right from Moss.
