Engine is Autype’s workspace for API, MCP, and automated document jobs. Workspace is the visual document editor. Both use the selected organization’s resources and billing, but activating Engine does not unlock the editor.

​
Activate Engine

  1. Sign in to Autype and select the organization you want to use.
  2. Choose Engine in the product selector.
  3. If offered, start the one-time 50-credit, 14-day Engine test without a payment method. Otherwise activate with a permanent credit top-up or an eligible subscription.
  4. Connect an integration and start with a read-only request before rendering your first document.
Test credits expire. Purchased credits do not. Pro and Team include monthly automation credits, and the separate Pro trial includes a one-time allowance. See Pricing for costs and eligibility.

Find your resources

​
Connect an integration

  • ChatGPT or Claude: follow the dedicated ChatGPT or Claude OAuth guide. Select the intended organization on the consent screen.
  • Direct API, n8n, or Make: create a scoped API key as an organization Owner or Admin, then follow the API introduction.
  • Job notifications: configure a reusable endpoint under Integrations when you need signed notifications. Keep its signing secret private. Request-specific webhookUrl callbacks are documented separately in Webhooks.
A successful single render costs 1 credit; each successful document in a batch costs 1 credit. Other processing operations have their own rates. Reading resources or checking a job’s status does not incur a render charge. Download generated output promptly; a job history entry is not permanent file storage.

​
Workspace tools versus automation

The browser tools under Workspace → Tools are included with an active editor subscription, subject to service limits. The same kind of operation through the Developer API or MCP uses the published automation credit rates. Check which route you are using before estimating usage. To open the visual editor, switch to Workspace and activate an appropriate plan or Pro trial. To revoke a client, open Settings → Connected Apps; this does not cancel billing or delete documents.
