Setup Guide

You need to create a service account (recommended) and generate an API key in the Meraki Dashboard, then enter the credentials into the Pult Dashboard.

Credentials you'll collect along the way:

Step 1: Create a Service Account (Recommended)

We recommend creating a dedicated service account with minimal permissions rather than using a personal admin account. Pult needs two read-only roles: Observer for your networks and access points, and Client monitor for the list of connected clients.

1. Log in to your Meraki Dashboard and navigate to Organization → Administrators.

   

2. Click Add admin and fill in First name, Last name, and Email for the service account.

   

3. Under Role & Scope, click Assign role, select Observer, then choose All settings within an organization.

   

4. Click Add role and scope, then Assign role, and select Client monitor.

   

5. Next to Client monitor, click Assign scope.

   

6. Open the Network tab and select the networks you want Pult to monitor.

   

7. Confirm that both roles are listed, then click Save.

   

8. Activate the account by following the invitation email and setting a password.

Step 2: Generate an API Key

1. Log in to the Meraki Dashboard with the service account.
2. Navigate to Organization → API & Webhooks → API keys and Access.
3. Click Generate API key.
4. Copy the API key and save it securely. It will only be shown once.

Step 3: Configure in Pult

1. In the Pult Dashboard, go to Settings → Presence → WiFi Settings.
2. Click Add Integration and select Cisco Meraki.
3. Enter the API Key from Step 2.
4. Click Save.

Pult validates the credentials on save. Once connected, the integration status will show as Connected.
