Connecting Sanctions.io

Where to find your Sanctions.io API Key and connect it to Salescheck.io.

This step can only be done by a user with the Admin or Compliance role in Salescheck.io. You'll need your own Sanctions.io account - Salescheck.io only uses your existing key to run lookups on your behalf.

What this connects

Sanctions.io screens a company or entity name against global sanctions and crime lists (e.g. OFAC SDN). It's triggered whenever a lookup or CRM record includes a company name.

Steps

Sign up or log in

Go to api.sanctions.io/users/signup to create a free trial account (no card required), or api.sanctions.io/users/login if you already have one. Confirm your account via the activation email if you're signing up.

Find your API Key

Once logged in, your dashboard shows both a sandbox key and a production key. Copy your production API Key - that's what Salescheck.io needs to run real lookups.

Paste it into Salescheck.io

In Salescheck.io, go to Integrations, find the Sanctions.io card, paste the key into the API Key field, and click Connect.

Map signals to risk categories

Once connected, map "Sanctions match found" to whatever category matches your risk appetite - usually Red. "No match found" is typically left unmapped (no effect on scoring).

We don't verify the key until it's actually used for a lookup - a bad or expired key just causes that provider's check to be skipped for that lookup; local rule-based scoring keeps working regardless.
