Before you start

Relevant for

  • Web Agencies and Developers, Project Managers, and Website Owners and Businesses managing sites in Dollie.

Required knowledge

  • The ability to navigate both the Atarim and Dollie dashboards. No technical setup beyond copying a key.

Tools & resources needed

  • An Atarim account on a paid plan that includes integrations.
  • A Dollie Control HQ account.
  • Admin access in both.

Atarim’s Dollie integration puts collaboration into the dashboard you already manage sites from. Once connected, every site in Dollie gains an Atarim column: sites not yet in Atarim get a Collaborate button that creates the project in one click, and sites already connected show a live task count you can open without signing into Atarim.

The result of the setup: one column that turns every site into a collaboration project.

Setup runs in two halves — turn the integration on in Atarim and copy your API key, then activate and configure the add-on in Dollie.

Enable the Dollie Integration in Atarim

First, turn on the Dollie integration in your Atarim settings to generate your unique API key.

  • Log in to your Atarim dashboard.
  • Go to Settings.
  • Navigate to Integrations. The panel lists the available integrations, each with its logo and a toggle.
  • Find Dollie in the list and switch its toggle on. The integration activates and your Atarim API key becomes available in the same block, in a field with a copy icon.
  • The Dollie toggle in Atarim's Integrations settings panel, ready to be switched on

    Only admin-level users can enable integrations and reach the API key. If Integrations or the Dollie toggle is not available to you, ask an Administrator. Learn More About User Roles And Permissions
    Dollie is an automated integration
    The toggle is controlled by whether your plan includes automated integrations. Where it is not included the toggle is locked and names the minimum plan needed, and only the workspace owner can change the subscription.

    Copy Your Atarim API Key

    With the integration enabled, your Atarim API key is shown in the Dollie block. This is what authorises the connection from Dollie’s side. Find the API Key field beneath the toggle and select the copy icon beside it — a confirmation reads Copied to clipboard.

    Treat the key like a password
    It authorises access to your Atarim account. Use it only in authorised platforms like Dollie, and do not send it over email or chat. If you think it has been exposed, contact support rather than leaving it in circulation. The key is also how Dollie authenticates — there is no separate account link — so if it is regenerated, the add-on stops working until you paste the new one in and test again.

    Activate the Atarim Add-On in Dollie

  • Go to Dollie Control HQ and sign in.
  • Navigate to Settings & Addons.
  • Scroll to find Atarim among the available add-ons.
  • Select Activate. The add-on becomes available to configure.
  • Navigating to Settings and Addons in the Dollie Control HQ dashboard
    In Dollie, go to Settings & Addons

    If Atarim is not listed
    Check that your user role has permission to manage add-ons on your Dollie plan before assuming something is broken. This is the most common reason the add-on appears to be missing.

    Enter Your API Key and Email in Dollie

  • Select Configure next to the Atarim add-on.
  • Paste your Atarim API key into the setup form.
  • Enter the email address associated with your Atarim account.
  • Select Save Settings.
  • Select Test API Key to verify the connection. A successful test confirms Dollie can reach your Atarim account.
  • The Configure control beside the Atarim add-on in Dollie

    Use the same address you sign in to Atarim with, including capitalisation. A mismatch is the usual cause of a failed test, and it fails without explaining why.

    Verify the Integration

  • In Dollie, go to Sites → View Sites.
  • Look for the new Atarim column on the far right. Unlinked sites show a Collaborate button; linked sites show a task count icon.
  • What you seeWhat it meansWhat it does

    Using the Integration Day to Day

  • Select a site’s task count to review its Atarim tasks from within Dollie.
  • Select Collaborate on a site that is not connected yet to create its Atarim project and start adding tasks.
  • Selecting a task count icon in Dollie to view Atarim tasks

    Known Limitations

  • Admin access is needed in both platforms. Enabling the integration and managing Dollie add-ons each require the right role.
  • It needs automated integrations on your Atarim plan, plus a Dollie plan that allows add-ons.
  • One API key per account. It authorises the whole account, not an individual site, and regenerating it breaks the Dollie connection until re-entered.
  • The email must match your login exactly, including case.
  • The Dollie panel is for viewing and creating. Detailed work still happens in Atarim.
  • FAQs

    What does the Atarim–Dollie integration do?

    It lets you start collaborating on a site from Dollie in one click, and view that site’s Atarim tasks in a panel inside Dollie.

    Which Atarim plans support it?

    It requires a plan that includes automated integrations. If the Dollie toggle is locked in your Integrations panel, the badge names the minimum plan required.

    Do I need a separate Atarim account?

    Yes. You need an active Atarim account linked to your Dollie dashboard via the API key and matching email.

    Can I set this up without admin access?

    No. Enabling integrations and reaching the API key require an admin account in Atarim, and managing add-ons requires the right role in Dollie.

    What if the API key test fails?

    Check for typos or stray spaces in the key, and make sure the email exactly matches your Atarim login. Case matters.

    Where do I find the API key again later?

    In Settings → Integrations, in the Dollie block beneath the toggle.

    Does the Collaborate button ask for confirmation?

    No. It creates the Atarim project straight away, so only select it on sites you intend to connect.

    Common issues

    • Integrations is not in your Atarim settings — your role is not permitted to manage integrations. Ask an Administrator.
    • The Dollie toggle is locked — your plan does not include the integration. Only the workspace owner can change the subscription.
    • Atarim is not in Dollie’s add-on list — confirm your Dollie role can manage add-ons on your plan.
    • Test API Key fails — check the key for stray spaces from copying, and confirm the email matches your Atarim login exactly, including case.
    • No Atarim column in View Sites — the add-on is not configured or the test has not passed. Complete the configuration first.
    • The task count looks wrong — open the panel to see the current tasks, and confirm you are looking at the right site.
    • Collaborate created a project you did not want — remove or archive it from Atarim. The button creates a project immediately with no confirmation step.
    • You rotated the API key and the connection broke — paste the new key into the Dollie add-on and run Test API Key again.

    Conclusion

    The integration is a short setup with a lasting payoff: enable Dollie in Atarim, copy the key, activate and configure the add-on, and test. After that, every site in your Dollie listing carries either a Collaborate button or a live task count.

    The two things that trip people up are both worth checking before you start: admin access in both platforms, and an email that matches your Atarim login exactly. Discover The Stack

    Tips & best practices

    • Use the Atarim panel in Dollie for status checks, to cut platform switching.
    • Test the API connection right after setup rather than discovering a problem later.
    • Keep the API key out of email and chat.
    • Review unresolved tasks across the sites listing regularly, using the task counts as your prompt.
    • Only select Collaborate on sites you actually want in Atarim — it creates the project immediately.
    • Check admin access in both platforms before you begin.
