When you connect Certify to another system, such as your learning management system (LMS) or your own software through our API, you may need the UUID of a credential. The UUID is the unique identifier that lets the other system refer to that specific credential in Certify.
Where to find the UUID
The UUID appears in your browser's address bar while you are editing a credential.
Go to Credentials in the left-hand menu.
Open the credential you need for editing.
Look at the address in your browser. The UUID is the string of characters after
/credentials/and before/edit.
For example, in this address:
app.certify.one/issuer/credentials/22a1be20-59c9-11f1-a949-57072c1358cf/edit
the UUID is:
22a1be20-59c9-11f1-a949-57072c1358cf
You only need to copy it. There's no need to change or save anything on the edit screen.
Is this the same as the public credential link?
No. The link recipients share (for example certify.one/c/KGYgxG) uses a different, shorter code. The UUID is an internal identifier for editing and integrations, and it won't work in place of the public link.
Using the UUID
Paste the UUID into your LMS or other connected platform wherever it asks for the Certify credential. Each credential has its own UUID, so repeat these steps for every credential you want to connect.
If you are working with the API, our API documentation explains how to use the UUID to issue and manage credentials. API access and integrations are included on the Advanced and Premium plans. See Ways to connect Certify to your other systems.
