# Connect Perfect Panel

> Add your Perfect Panel base URL and Admin API key in SMM Panel settings.

SMMPANEL AI needs access to your Perfect Panel so it can check orders and help with customer requests.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open SMM Panel">
    In your system sidebar, click **SMM Panel**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter credentials">
    1. Base URL - your panel root, for example `https://panel.yourdomain.com` (no
       trailing slash). 2. Admin API key - from your Perfect Panel admin area.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save and test">
    Save, then run the connection test. Fix the URL or key if the test fails.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Never share your Admin API key in chats or public repos. If it leaks, rotate
  it in Perfect Panel and update **SMM Panel** immediately.
</Warning>
