Prerequisites

To connect Nexla to Amperity, you need an Amperity tenant with API access enabled, and a user account that has been assigned the Allow API key administration policy. This policy is required to create and manage API keys and generate the access tokens used for authentication.

The Amperity API uses JSON Web Token (JWT) access tokens for authentication. These tokens are issued from API keys that are managed directly within the Amperity user interface. Each API key is a synthetic identity bound to your tenant that grants programmatic access to the Amperity API.

API requests are authenticated by including the access token as a Bearer token in the Authorization request header, along with your tenant ID in the Amperity-Tenant header.

Obtain your tenant ID. Your tenant ID is a unique identifier for your Amperity instance and is required for all API requests.

  1. Sign in to your Amperity account at your tenant URL (e.g., https://app.amperity.com).

  2. Navigate to Settings in the left sidebar.

  3. Click the Security tab.

  4. Under API keys, locate any existing API key in the list, open its row menu (the three-dot menu icon), and select Copy tenant ID.

  5. Save the copied tenant ID — you will need it when configuring the Nexla credential.

Create an API key and generate an access token.

  1. Sign in to your Amperity account and navigate to Settings > Security.

  2. In the API keys section, click Add API key to create a new key.

  3. Enter a descriptive name for the API key (for example, Nexla Integration) to identify its purpose.

  4. Click Save to create the key. The new API key will appear in the list under API keys.

  5. In the row for your newly created API key, open the row menu and select Generate access token. A dialog will appear showing the generated JWT access token.

Important

Copy and securely store the access token immediately after it is generated. For security reasons, the token value is only displayed once and cannot be retrieved again after you close the dialog. If the token is lost, you will need to generate a new one.

  1. Note that JWT access tokens have an expiration period. Amperity recommends refreshing tokens on a regular basis. When a token expires, return to Settings > Security > API keys and generate a new access token for the same API key.

For additional details about Amperity API key management, token rotation, and security best practices, refer to the official Amperity Authentication documentation.

Create a credential in Nexla

Amperity uses Bearer token authentication. You will need the JWT access token generated in Prerequisites and your Amperity tenant ID.

  1. After selecting the data source/destination type, click the Add Credential tile to open the Add New Credential overlay.

  2. Enter a name for the credential in the Credential Name field and a short, meaningful description in the Credential Description field.

  3. Enter your Amperity JWT access token in the Access Token field. This is the Bearer token that Nexla will include in the Authorization header of all API requests to your Amperity tenant. The token authenticates Nexla to the Amperity API and should be kept secure.

  4. Enter your Amperity tenant ID in the Tenant ID field. This value is used to construct the base URL for all API requests (e.g., https://{tenant-id}.amperity.com/api/) and to populate the Amperity-Tenant request header. Your tenant ID was obtained in Prerequisites.

    Amperity JWT access tokens expire after a set period. When your access token expires, you will need to generate a new one in Amperity (Settings > Security > API keys) and update this credential in Nexla with the new token value.

  5. Click the Save button at the bottom of the overlay. The newly added credential will now appear in a tile on the Authenticate screen during data source/destination creation.

Use as a data source

To create a new data flow, navigate to the Integrate section, and click the New Data Flow button. Select the Amperity connector tile, then select the credential that will be used to connect to the Amperity tenant, and click Next; or, create a new Amperity credential for use in this flow.

Endpoint templates

Nexla provides pre-built templates that can be used to rapidly configure data sources to ingest data from common Amperity API endpoints. Select the endpoint from which this source will fetch data from the Endpoint pulldown menu. Available endpoint templates are listed in the expandable boxes below.

  • This endpoint returns up to 1,000 audit events per request, covering user activity such as logins, configuration changes, and API key operations. No additional parameters are required to retrieve the default audit event log.
  • Audit event records include the event type, the user or system that triggered the event, the timestamp, and contextual details about the action performed.

Audit events are limited to the most recent 1,000 events per API response. For compliance or long-term audit purposes, schedule regular ingestion runs to capture events over time before they age out of the available log.

Once the selected endpoint template has been configured, click the Test button to the right of the endpoint selection menu to retrieve a sample of the data that will be fetched. Sample data will be displayed in the Endpoint Test Result panel on the right, allowing you to verify that the source is configured correctly before saving.

Manual configuration

Amperity data sources can also be manually configured to ingest data from any valid Amperity API endpoint, including endpoints not covered by the pre-built templates, chained API calls, or custom request parameters. Select the Advanced tab at the top of the configuration screen, and follow the instructions in Connect to Any API to configure the API method, endpoint URL, date/time and lookup macros, path to data, metadata, and request headers.

All Amperity API endpoint URLs follow the format https://{tenant-id}.amperity.com/api/{endpoint-path}, where the tenant ID is the subdomain of your Amperity instance (e.g., https://your-tenant.amperity.com/api/campaigns, https://your-tenant.amperity.com/api/segments, or https://your-tenant.amperity.com/api/indexes/{index-id}/profiles). For the complete list of available Amperity API endpoints, refer to the Amperity API Endpoints reference.

For most Amperity list endpoints, the response body is a JSON object with a top-level data array containing the records — enter $.data[*] as the path to data to configure Nexla to treat each element in the data array as a separate record. Response context such as the next_page cursor token can be preserved with a metadata path. Date/time macros are particularly useful for Amperity endpoints that support date-range filtering, such as workflow run history queries that accept a start and end date in the URL, and lookup-based macros can supply ID path parameters such as profile index IDs retrieved in an earlier step of a multi-source workflow. You do not need to include the Authorization or Amperity-Tenant headers in the request headers field — those are automatically managed by Nexla using the values from your Amperity credential configuration.

Once all of the relevant settings have been configured, click the Create button in the upper right corner of the screen to save and create the new Amperity data source. Nexla will now begin ingesting data from the configured endpoint and will organize any data that it finds into one or more Nexsets.

Use as a destination

Click the + icon on the Nexset that will be sent to the Amperity destination, and select the Send to Destination option from the menu. Select the Amperity connector from the list of available destination connectors, then select the credential that will be used to connect to the Amperity tenant, and click Next; or, create a new Amperity credential for use in this flow.

Endpoint templates

Nexla provides pre-built templates that can be used to rapidly configure destinations to send data to common Amperity API endpoints. Select the endpoint to which data will be sent from the Endpoint pulldown menu. Then, click on the template in the list below to expand it, and follow the instructions to configure additional endpoint settings.

Start Workflow Run

This endpoint triggers a new run of an existing Amperity workflow. Use this template when you need to programmatically launch Amperity workflows in response to upstream data events, such as starting a data refresh or a model retraining workflow after new data arrives in Nexla.

  • Ensure the data being sent to this destination includes the required fields for the workflow run request. The Amperity API expects a JSON payload containing the workflow ID and any run-specific parameters.

  • The workflow ID can be obtained from the Amperity UI by navigating to the Workflows section, or by using the List Workflows data source endpoint to retrieve the IDs of available workflows programmatically.
  • After sending the request, the Amperity API returns a workflow run ID and status. Enable the Response Webhook option in the destination configuration to capture this response data as a new Nexla source for downstream processing or status tracking.

For additional information about triggering workflows via the Amperity API, refer to the Amperity POST /workflow/runs documentation.

Manual configuration

Amperity destinations can also be manually configured to send data to any valid Amperity API endpoint. Select the Advanced tab at the top of the configuration screen, and follow the instructions in Connect to Any API to configure the API method, data format, endpoint URL, request headers, attribute exclusions, record batching, and response webhooks.

The Amperity API expects data in JSON format for all write operations. Endpoint URLs follow the format https://{tenant-id}.amperity.com/api/{endpoint-path} — for example, to trigger a workflow run, use https://your-tenant.amperity.com/api/workflow/runs. For the complete list of Amperity API endpoints that support write operations, refer to the Amperity API Endpoints reference.

You do not need to include the Authorization or Amperity-Tenant headers in the request headers field — those are automatically managed by Nexla using the values from your Amperity credential configuration. Enabling the response webhook option is useful for capturing confirmation data, resource IDs, or status information — such as workflow run IDs — returned by the Amperity API after each write operation.

Save & activate

Once all endpoint settings have been configured, click the Done button in the upper right corner of the screen to save and create the destination. To begin sending data to the configured Amperity endpoint, open the destination resource menu, and select Activate.

The Nexset data will not be sent to Amperity until the destination is activated. Destinations can be activated immediately or at a later time, providing full control over data movement.
