About Nutshell
Back to topNutshell is a hosted third-party Customer Relationship Management (CRM) application. Nutshell is extremely easy to integrate with Checkfront and requires just a few simple steps to get you started.

In order to link Checkfront to Nutshell, you must enter some API details from Nutshell into your Checkfront account.
Once you've created your account with Nutshell, login and click the plus (+) icon and then Import in the left-hand side menu. From there, you'll see a comprehensive menu, separated into various categories. The last category, Connection, has a menu item labeled API keys. Click on this.
If you've been using Nutshell for a while, you may have created other API keys in the past. If this is the case, you will see them listed on this page. Go ahead and click on the Add API key link.
In the pop-up box, enter a Name for the API key you are about to create. Something simple like Checkfront will do.
Next, choose API access from the Permissions field and then click the green New API key button to complete the API key creation.
Your new API key will now be displayed on the page. Click on it to open another pop-up box which will allow you to copy the API key in its entirety. Once you've copied the alpha-numeric string of characters, head back over to your Checkfront dashboard.
