PersistIQ

PersistIQ is a sales engagement platform for outbound prospecting, providing APIs for campaigns, leads, and sequenced outreach. Nexla connects to the PersistIQ REST API to ingest users, leads, and campaigns, and to create and update leads and campaigns from your data flows.

Power end-to-end data operations for your PersistIQ API with Nexla. Our bi-directional PersistIQ connector is purpose-built for PersistIQ, 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 PersistIQ or any other destination. With comprehensive monitoring, lineage tracking, and access controls, Nexla keeps your PersistIQ workflows fast, secure, and fully governed.

Prerequisites

Before creating a PersistIQ credential, you need to obtain an API key from your PersistIQ account. PersistIQ uses API key authentication, and the key is passed in a request header to authenticate all API calls.

To obtain your PersistIQ API key, follow these steps:

1. Sign in to your PersistIQ account at app.persistiq.com.

2. Click your profile button in the bottom-left corner of the dashboard to open the account menu.

3. Navigate to Settings and Billing > Integrations.

4. Locate your API key in the Integrations section and copy it.

5. Store the API key securely, as you will need it to configure your Nexla credential. The API key grants access to your PersistIQ account data and should be treated as sensitive information.

For complete information about the PersistIQ API, authentication, and available endpoints, see the PersistIQ API Reference.

Create a credential in Nexla

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 PersistIQ API key in the API Key field. This key authenticates Nexla with the PersistIQ API and should be kept confidential.

   If your API key is compromised, regenerate it from Settings and Billing > Integrations in your PersistIQ account. For detailed information about API authentication and available endpoints, see the PersistIQ API Reference.

4. 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 PersistIQ connector tile, then select the credential that will be used to connect to PersistIQ, and click Next; or, create a new PersistIQ 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 PersistIQ 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.

[Rest API] List Users

Retrieve users. This endpoint template ingests the users in your PersistIQ account, allowing you to sync team member records into your Nexla flows.

• This endpoint automatically retrieves users accessible to your API key. Nexla paginates through the results to fetch all available records.

For detailed information about the users endpoint, response structure, and available fields, see the PersistIQ API Reference.

[Rest API] List Leads

Retrieve leads. This endpoint template ingests the leads in your PersistIQ account, allowing you to sync prospect records into your Nexla flows for analysis, reporting, or downstream integration.

• This endpoint automatically retrieves leads accessible to your API key. Nexla paginates through the results to fetch all available records.

For detailed information about the leads endpoint, response structure, and available fields, see the PersistIQ API Reference.

[Rest API] List Campaigns

Retrieve campaigns. This endpoint template ingests the campaigns in your PersistIQ account, allowing you to sync outreach campaign records into your Nexla flows.

• This endpoint automatically retrieves campaigns accessible to your API key. Nexla paginates through the results to fetch all available records.

For detailed information about the campaigns endpoint, response structure, and available fields, see the PersistIQ API Reference.

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

PersistIQ data sources can also be manually configured to ingest data from any valid PersistIQ 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 PersistIQ 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 PersistIQ destination, and select the Send to Destination option from the menu. Select the PersistIQ connector from the list of available destination connectors, then select the credential that will be used to connect to PersistIQ, and click Next; or, create a new PersistIQ 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 PersistIQ 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.

[Rest API] Create Lead

Create a new lead in PersistIQ. Use this template when you need to automatically add leads to your PersistIQ account based on data from your Nexla flows.

• This endpoint sends data as JSON in the request body to create new leads. Each record from your Nexset is sent as a separate API request. The request body should contain the lead data in the format required by the PersistIQ API.

The lead structure must match the PersistIQ API's expected format. For detailed information about lead creation and request body formats, see the PersistIQ API Reference.

[Rest API] Update Lead

Update an existing lead in PersistIQ. Use this template when you need to keep lead records in PersistIQ in sync with data from your Nexla flows.

• This endpoint sends data as JSON in the request body to update existing leads. Each record from your Nexset is sent as a separate API request. The request body should contain the updated lead data in the format required by the PersistIQ API.

The lead structure must match the PersistIQ API's expected format. For detailed information about updating leads and request body formats, see the PersistIQ API Reference.

[Rest API] Create Campaign

Create a new campaign in PersistIQ. Use this template when you need to automatically create outreach campaigns based on data from your Nexla flows.

• This endpoint sends data as JSON in the request body to create new campaigns. Each record from your Nexset is sent as a separate API request. The request body should contain the campaign data in the format required by the PersistIQ API.

The campaign structure must match the PersistIQ API's expected format. For detailed information about campaign creation and request body formats, see the PersistIQ API Reference.

Manual configuration

PersistIQ destinations can also be manually configured to send data to any valid PersistIQ 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.

PersistIQ APIs typically expect JSON format for most operations. For update operations, ensure the request body includes the identifier of the object to be updated.

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 PersistIQ endpoint, open the destination resource menu, and select Activate.

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