Overview
Starting today, all Personal Access Tokens (PATs) must have a billing organization assigned. This ensures every API call is correctly attributed to the account responsible for the costs with full visibility in the admin dashboard.
What's new?
- New tokens: selecting a billing organization is now a required step at creation
- Existing tokens: 45-day window for manual configuration; after the deadline, the system assigns an organization automatically
- API usage is now consolidated per organization in the admin dashboard
How does this help?
- Cost visibility per organization: every API call is attributed to the correct account, with no ambiguity
- Centralized management for multiple accounts: teams running sub-accounts can consolidate all billing under a single parent organization
- Simplified auditing: the admin dashboard accurately reflects who consumes what — useful for cost reviews and access governance
Use cases
- IT team managing system integrations via API: with mandatory attribution, each token is tied to the business unit responsible for the cost, eliminating manual cost splits and inter-department billing disputes.
- Company with multiple subsidiaries using Pipefy: the parent organization consolidates API consumption from all subsidiaries in a single dashboard, simplifying monthly close and cost allocation per entity.
- Operation using AI Credits via API: by linking the token to the correct organization, AI credit consumption becomes traceable per account, enabling expansion or usage review decisions based on real data.
- Offboarding process for employees with PAT access: when reviewing active tokens, admins can quickly identify which ones have no organization assigned and act before the automatic deadline.
- Internal platform cost audit: finance or IT can cross-reference API usage by organization directly in the dashboard, without requesting reports from support.
Most relevant for
- Organization admins managing active tokens
- IT teams responsible for API integrations
- Companies with multi-account or multi-subsidiary structures
- Users operating AI Credits via API
