# Creating an Application

> Create an application in the Console to grant API access to external systems and control how they integrate with your platform.

To create an application, follow these steps:

<Steps>
  <Step>
    From the **Applications** page, click the **New Application** button.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    The **New Application** form opens on the right side of the screen.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Fill in the following fields:

    * **Application Name** *(required)* – Select or type the application name (e.g., `midaz`, `plugin-fees`, `plugin-crm`).
    * **Description** *(required)* – Add a short description explaining what the application does.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Click **Save**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    The new application appears in the list with its generated **Client ID** and **Client Secret**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  After creating the application, copy the **Client ID** and **Client Secret** immediately. You'll need these credentials to authenticate API requests from your application.
