# Getting Started

## Linking your ER:LC Server

### 1. Create an ER:LC API Key

<details>

<summary>ER:LC API Key</summary>

ER:LC grants API access as a paid upgrade.

Once in-game, select the **Menu** button at the top right > **Servers** > **Owned Servers** > Select your private server > **Upgrade Packs** > **API Pack**.

### 3. Link ER:LC Event Webhooks to Sonoran CAD

<details>

<summary>Link ER:LC Event Webhooks to Sonoran CAD</summary>

ER:LC sends Sonoran CAD events for custom commands like traffic stops and vehicle registrations. Additionally, in-game events for robberies, fires, etc. are also sent.

1. Open the **Server Info**
2. Select **Edit Server Settings**
3. Under **ER:LC API** > **Event Log Webhook** > **Edit**
   1. Paste: `https://events.sonoransoftware.com/erlc`

<div><figure><img src="/files/JfwgUH7ZiUlSJvrmHhzp" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure> <figure><img src="/files/cHHM9xM4Fw5Gb0yeGSRO" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure> <figure><img src="/files/FVsf5ZYNccOXJfGE0dca" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

**Webhook Errors**

The ER:LC API may be experiencing a partial outage—this is common after weekend game updates. If you see a red error when setting the Event Log Webhook, it’s likely due to this issue.

**This outage is on the ER:LC side, not Sonoran CAD.** When we’re notified, we’ll relay the issue to the PRC/ER:LC development team and keep you updated as more information becomes available.

## Linking your Roblox Account

Players must link their Roblox account to their Sonoran account in order to use in-game integrations.

Once linked, the Sonoran account can be used for ER:LC integrations across Sonoran CAD, CMS, and radio.

<details>

<summary>Linking Roblox to Sonoran</summary>

If a user in an ER:LC linked community does not have their Roblox account linked, a red banner will display at the top of the screen. Press the **Link** button to redirect to Roblox and link your account.

<figure><img src="/files/LZxauYJ9wW7xl9keC9W5" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Pressing **Link** will open up a window to login and link with Roblox:

Once linked, refresh and you're finished!
