# Register Your Account

Are You Using a Sandbox or Dev Org?

          

If you are using a sandbox or dev org and haven’t already contacted us, please contact [Blackthorn Support](https://community.blackthorn.io/s/support) to provide the following before proceeding.

- Organization name
- Org id
- Org type (production or sandbox/dev org)
- Primary email address
- Whether you want to enable just Email (for Events only customers) or Email + Messaging (for Events & Messaging customers)

**IMPORTANT:** Customers with new sandboxes need to contact [Blackthorn Support](https://community.blackthorn.io/s/support) for a unique API Key & Account Number. Reusing an API Key & Account Number from a different sandbox or a production org prevents Smart Scheduler from working since the configuration (API Key & Account Number) is uniquely set per org ID.

Registering your account allows us to identify your org on the server and provide security. Your account number and API key allow us to authenticate subsequent calls and associate created schedules with your account. A registered account is also required for Org level control for the following areas.

- Primary Communication Address
- Feature Flags
- N days before notification configuration
- Any futuristic attribute
