Mercury
Connect Mercury as an access source using a Read Only API token
Probo reads your Mercury organization’s users through the Mercury API so you can review who has access.
Prerequisites
Section titled “Prerequisites”- Probo organization administrator access
- A Mercury user with permission to create API tokens. An admin on the Mercury account controls that permission, and a user without it sees no way to create a token
- The Mercury organization you want to review. A token is bound to the organization it is created in, so switch to that organization before opening its settings

Mercury returns every member of the organization on one endpoint. Probo skips a record that arrives without an email address.
Step 1: Create a Read Only API Token
Section titled “Step 1: Create a Read Only API Token”- In Mercury, click your organization at the top left, click All Settings, and open Tokens in the left navigation.
- Click Create an API Token, enter a Nickname such as
Probo Access Review, set Permissions to Read Only, then click Create Token. A Read Only token can fetch all available data on the account and requires no IP whitelist. - Copy the token, including its
secret-token:prefix, and store it securely. Mercury does not show it again once the dialog closes.
Step 2: Connect in Probo
Section titled “Step 2: Connect in Probo”- In Probo, go to Access Reviews > Sources > Add Source.
- Find Mercury, click API Key, paste the token, and click Connect.
Mercury’s users endpoint carries no organization name, so the source keeps the generic name Mercury. Probo pulls the organization’s users into your campaigns.
Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”- Token rejected. Paste the token with its
secret-token:prefix, since Probo sends it asAuthorization: Bearer <token>. A sandbox token is rejected as well: Probo callsapi.mercury.com, and a token created in the sandbox belongs to the separateapi-sandbox.mercury.comenvironment. - The Tokens page offers no way to create a token. The signed-in user does not hold the permission. An admin on the Mercury account can grant it or create the token instead.
- No users appear, or the wrong ones do. A token is bound to the organization it was created in, so create it from the All Settings > Tokens page of the organization you want to review. A Custom token also reaches only the scopes granted at creation, and those cannot be edited afterwards.
- The source stops syncing after a quiet period. Mercury deletes a token that goes unused for 45 days and emails account admins seven days beforehand. Create a new token and reconnect the source.
