Northpass (part of Gainsight) is a learning management system (LMS) for building and delivering customer, partner, and employee education programs. Its REST API exposes people, courses, enrollments, groups, learning paths, quizzes, assignments, and related learning data. Use this connector to ingest Northpass learning data into Nexla or to provision and enroll learners programmatically.
Power end-to-end data operations for your Northpass LMS API with Nexla. Our bi-directional Northpass LMS connector is purpose-built for Northpass LMS, making it simple to ingest data, sync it across systems, and deliver it anywhere — all with no coding required. Nexla turns API-sourced data into ready-to-use, reusable data products and makes it easy to send data to Northpass LMS or any other destination. With comprehensive monitoring, lineage tracking, and access controls, Nexla keeps your Northpass LMS workflows fast, secure, and fully governed.

Before creating a Northpass LMS credential, you need an API key from your Northpass account. Northpass authenticates every API request with an API key sent in the X-Api-Key header. All requests must be made over HTTPS.
To obtain your Northpass API key, follow these steps:
Sign in to your Northpass account with an administrator user.
Open the Admin panel and navigate to Apps > API Access.
Generate or copy your API key from the API Access page.
Store the API key securely, as you will need it to configure your Nexla credential. Treat the key as sensitive information and rotate it if it is ever exposed.
After selecting the data source/destination type, click the Add Credential tile to open the Add New Credential overlay.
Enter a name for the credential in the Credential Name field and a short, meaningful description in the Credential Description field.
Enter your Northpass API key in the API Key field. This key is sent in the X-Api-Key header for all API requests to Northpass and must be kept confidential.
If your API key is compromised, revoke it in your Northpass Admin panel under Apps > API Access and generate a new one.
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.
To create a new data flow, navigate to the Integrate section, and click the New Data Flow button. Select the Northpass LMS connector tile, then select the credential that will be used to connect to Northpass, and click Next; or, create a new Northpass LMS credential for use in this flow.

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.
Northpass LMS data sources can also be manually configured to ingest data from any valid Northpass 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.
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 Northpass LMS 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.
Click the + icon on the Nexset that will be sent to the Northpass LMS destination, and select the Send to Destination option from the menu. Select the Northpass LMS connector from the list of available destination connectors, then select the credential that will be used to connect to Northpass, and click Next; or, create a new Northpass LMS credential for use in this flow.
