Setting up in Nutshell
Back to topIn order to link Checkfront to Nutshell, you must enter some API details from Nutshell into your Checkfront account. Follow these instructions to obtain those API details.
Once you create your account with Nutshell, log in and click the plus (+) icon and then the Import option in the left-hand side menu.
From there, you see a detailed menu, separated into various categories. The last category, Connections, has a menu item labelled API keys. Click on this.
If you've been using Nutshell for a while, then you may have created other API keys in the past. If this is the case, then you see them listed on this page. Go ahead and click on the Add API key link to add a new API key.
In the pop-up box, enter a Name for the API key you are about to create. Something simple like Checkfront is fine.
Next, choose API access from the Permission field.
Click the green New API key button to complete the API key creation.
Your new API key now displays on the page. Click on the listing to open another pop-up box that allows you to copy the API key in its entirety.
Once you copy the alpha-numeric string of characters, head back over to your Checkfront dashboard.
In the next article, we look at how to set up the Nutshell integration within Checkfront.
