Prerequisites
Before creating a Keap credential, you need to obtain an API Key from your Keap account. The API Key is required to authenticate with the Keap REST API (formerly Infusionsoft).
To obtain your API Key, you need to have a Keap account and access to your Keap application settings. Once you have access, you can generate an API Key (also known as a PAT - Personal Access Token or SAK - Secret Access Key) from your Keap account settings. The API Key is used to authenticate all API requests to the Keap REST API. The API Key is sent in the X-Keap-API-Key header for all API requests. For detailed information about obtaining API keys and API authentication, refer to the Keap Developer Guide and Keap PAT and SAK documentation.

Create a credential in Nexla
- After selecting the data source/destination type, click the Add Credential tile to open the Add New Credential overlay.
New Credential Overlay – Keap

-
Enter a name for the credential in the Credential Name field and a short, meaningful description in the Credential Description field.
-
Enter your Keap API Key in the API Key Value field. This is the API Key (PAT or SAK) you obtained from your Keap account settings. The API Key is required for all API requests and is used to authenticate your account. The API Key is sent in the
X-Keap-API-Keyheader for all API requests to the Keap REST API.Keep your API Key secure and do not share it publicly. The API Key provides access to your Keap account data and should be treated as sensitive information. Your Keap API Key can be found in your Keap account settings where you manage API keys (also referred to as PAT - Personal Access Token or SAK - Secret Access Key). The API Key is sent in the
X-Keap-API-Keyheader for all API requests to the Keap REST API. If your API Key is compromised, you should immediately regenerate it in your Keap account settings. For detailed information about obtaining and managing API keys, API authentication, and available endpoints, see the Keap Developer Guide and Keap PAT and SAK documentation. -
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 Keap connector tile, then select the credential that will be used to connect to the Keap account, and click Next; or, create a new Keap 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 Keap 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.
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
Keap data sources can also be manually configured to ingest data from any valid Keap REST API endpoint, including endpoints not covered by the pre-built templates 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.
Keap REST API endpoints typically follow the pattern https://api.infusionsoft.com/crm/rest/v2/{endpoint_path}, and the Keap REST API typically returns data in JSON format. The endpoint requires API key authentication via the X-Keap-API-Key header, which Nexla adds automatically based on your Keap credential. For detailed information about Keap REST API endpoints, authentication, and available APIs, see the Keap Developer Guide.
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 Keap 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 Keap destination, and select the Send to Destination option from the menu. Select the Keap connector from the list of available destination connectors, then select the credential that will be used to connect to the Keap account, and click Next; or, create a new Keap 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 Keap 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.
Manual configuration
Keap destinations can also be manually configured to send data to any valid Keap REST 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.
Keap REST API endpoints typically follow the pattern https://api.infusionsoft.com/crm/rest/v2/{endpoint_path}, and the Keap REST API typically uses JSON format for request bodies. The endpoint requires API key authentication via the X-Keap-API-Key header, which Nexla adds automatically based on your Keap credential. For detailed information about Keap REST API endpoints, authentication, and available APIs, see the Keap Developer Guide.
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 send the data to the configured Keap endpoint, open the destination resource menu, and select Activate.
The Nexset data will not be sent to the Keap endpoint until the destination is activated. Destinations can be activated immediately or at a later time, providing full control over data movement.
