Our integration with Nutshell provides the ability to automatically create new leads and contacts, or update existing ones when a booking is created via Checkfront.  

 

Setting up in Nutshell

Back to top

In 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.

 

Nutshell Import

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.

 

Nutshell API Keys

From there, you see a comprehensive menu, separated into various categories. The last category, Connections, has a menu item labelled API keys. Click on this.  

 

Nuthsell Add API Key

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.

 

Nutshell 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.  

 

Nutshell Copy API Key

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.
