Organization Settings

2 min readUpdated Feb 26, 2026

Settings overview

The settings page is organized into collapsible cards under a "Connections" section. Admins can edit everything. Members can view but not change.

Pterodactyl / Pelican Panel URL

This is the URL of your game server panel. Something like https://panel.example.com. Pink Narwhal uses this to connect to the file API for backups, restores, and the file browser.

Click the edit button, paste your URL, and save.

Client API Key

Your Pterodactyl/Pelican client API key. It starts with ptlc_ and is created from your account settings in the panel (not the admin area).

Important

This must be a client API key, not an application key. The client key is created from your account settings page in the panel. Application keys (created in the admin area) will not work.

The key is stored encrypted. You can update it anytime if you need to rotate credentials.

Discord Webhook URL

Paste a Discord webhook URL to enable notifications. To create a webhook in Discord:

  1. Open your Discord server
  2. Go to the channel where you want notifications
  3. Click the gear icon (channel settings)
  4. Go to Integrations then Webhooks
  5. Click New Webhook and copy the URL

Notification preferences

Once a webhook is connected, six toggles appear:

NotificationWhat it sends
Backup CompletedA backup finished successfully
Backup FailedA backup failed (probably worth keeping on)
Backup RestoredA restore completed
Server AddedA new server was added to monitoring
Server RemovedA server was removed
Server Not FoundA server could not be found in the panel

All toggles default to enabled. Each saves immediately when changed. Toggle off whatever you find noisy.

Tip

At minimum, keep "Backup Failed" and "Server Not Found" enabled. Those are the ones you actually want to know about.
