In Nexla, ServiceTitan data sources can be created using pre-built endpoint templates, which expedite source setup for common ServiceTitan API endpoints. Each template is designed specifically for the corresponding ServiceTitan endpoint, making source configuration easy and efficient.
• To configure this source using a template, follow the instructions in Configure Using a Template.ServiceTitan sources can also be configured manually, allowing you to ingest data from ServiceTitan endpoints not included in the pre-built templates or apply further customizations to exactly suit your needs.
• To configure this source manually, follow the instructions in Configure Manually.
Configure Using a Template
Nexla provides pre-built templates that can be used to rapidly configure data sources to ingest data from common ServiceTitan API endpoints. Each template is designed specifically for the corresponding ServiceTitan endpoint, making data source setup easy and efficient.
Endpoint Settings
- 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. Click on an endpoint to see more information about it and how to configure your data source for this endpoint.
Endpoint Testing
Once the selected endpoint template has been configured, Nexla can retrieve a sample of the data that will be fetched according to the current settings. This allows users to verify that the source is configured correctly before saving.
-
To test the current endpoint configuration, click the Test button to the right of the endpoint selection menu. Sample data will be fetched & displayed in the Endpoint Test Result panel on the right.
-
If the sample data is not as expected, review the selected endpoint and associated settings, and make any necessary adjustments. Then, click the Test button again, and check the sample data to ensure that the correct information is displayed.
Configure Manually
ServiceTitan data sources can be manually configured to ingest data from any valid ServiceTitan API endpoint. Manual configuration provides maximum flexibility for accessing endpoints not covered by pre-built templates or when you need custom API configurations.
With manual configuration, you can also create more complex ServiceTitan sources, such as sources that use chained API calls to fetch data from multiple endpoints or sources that require custom request parameters.
All ServiceTitan V2 API endpoints follow the pattern https://api.servicetitan.io/{namespace}/v2/tenant/{'{tenantId}'}/{resource}. Your Tenant ID is automatically provided by your saved ServiceTitan credential — you do not need to include it manually in the URL when using template-based sources, but you will need to substitute it in the URL when configuring a source manually.
API Method
-
To manually configure this source, select the Advanced tab at the top of the configuration screen.
-
Select the API method that will be used for calls to the ServiceTitan API from the Method pulldown menu. The most common method for reading data from ServiceTitan is:
- GET: For retrieving data from any ServiceTitan API endpoint
API Endpoint URL
- Enter the URL of the ServiceTitan API endpoint from which this source will fetch data in the Set API URL field. This should be the complete URL including the protocol (
https://) and your Tenant ID as a path parameter.
ServiceTitan API endpoint URLs include your Tenant ID as a path component. For example, to list jobs the URL is https://api.servicetitan.io/jpm/v2/tenant/{'{tenantId}'}/jobs. Replace {'{tenantId}'} with your numeric ServiceTitan Tenant ID. ServiceTitan also requires the ST-App-Key header on every request — see the Request Headers section below.
Date/Time Macros (API URL)
Optionally, the API URL can be customized using macros—all macros added to the API URL will be converted into values when Nexla executes the API call. Macros are dynamic placeholders that allow you to create flexible API endpoints that can adapt to different time periods or data requirements. This is especially useful with ServiceTitan endpoints that support date-range filter query parameters.
Macros are particularly useful for ServiceTitan APIs that accept date range parameters such as modifiedOnOrAfter, modifiedBefore, or startsOnOrAfter. For example, you can append ?modifiedOnOrAfter={'{now-1}'} to a List Jobs URL to ingest only jobs modified since the last run.
-
To add a macro, type
{at the appropriate position in the API URL (within the Set API URL field), and select the desired macro from the dropdown list.{now}– The current datetime{now-1}– The datetime one time unit before the current datetime{now+1}– The datetime one time unit after the current datetimecustom– Datetime macros can reference any number of time units before or after the current datetime—for example, enter(now-4)to indicate the datetime four time units before the current datetime
-
Select the format that will be applied to datetime macros from the Date Format for Date/Time Macro pulldown menu. This format will be applied to the base datetime value of the macro—i.e., the value of
{now}in{now-1}. ServiceTitan APIs expect dates in ISO 8601 format (e.g.,2024-01-01T00:00:00Z). -
Select the datetime unit that will be used to perform mathematical operations in the included macro(s) from the Time Unit for Operations pulldown menu—for example, for the macro
{now-1}, whenDayis selected,{now-1}will be converted to the datetime one day before the current datetime.
Lookup-Based Macros (API URL)
Column values from existing lookups can also be included as macros in the API URL. Lookup-based macros allow you to reference data from previously configured data sources or lookups, enabling dynamic API endpoints that can adapt based on existing data.
Lookup-based macros are useful when you need to create ServiceTitan API endpoints that reference specific IDs, such as a Job ID or Customer ID, sourced from another Nexla data source in your environment.
-
To include a lookup column value macro, select the relevant lookup from the Add Lookups to Supported Macros pulldown menu.
-
Type
{at the appropriate position in the API URL, and select the lookup column-based macro from the dropdown list. Lookup-based macros are automatically populated into the macro list when a lookup is selected in the Add Lookups to Supported Macros pulldown menu.
Path to Data
If only a subset of the data returned by the API endpoint is needed, you can designate the part of the response that should be included in the Nexset(s) produced from this source by specifying the path to the relevant data within the response.
Most ServiceTitan list endpoints return responses in the format {"data": [...], "page": {...}}. The relevant records are contained in the data array, so the path to the data would typically be $.data[*].
Path to Data is important for ServiceTitan list responses. Without specifying $.data[*], Nexla will treat the entire response object (including pagination metadata) as a single record rather than processing each item in the data array as an individual record.
-
To specify which data should be treated as relevant in responses from this source, enter the path to the relevant data in the Set Path to Data in Response field.
- For responses in JSON format, enter the JSON path that points to the object or array that should be treated as relevant data. For most ServiceTitan list endpoints, this value is
$.data[*].
Path to Data Example:For a ServiceTitan List Jobs response, the relevant job records are in the
dataarray. Enter$.data[*]as the path to data to configure Nexla to treat each element of thedataarray as a separate record. - For responses in JSON format, enter the JSON path that points to the object or array that should be treated as relevant data. For most ServiceTitan list endpoints, this value is
Autogenerate Path Suggestions
Nexla can also autogenerate data path suggestions based on the response from the API endpoint. These suggested paths can be used as-is or modified to exactly suit your needs.
-
To use this feature, click the Test button next to the Set API URL field to fetch a sample response from the API endpoint. Suggested data paths generated based on the content & format of the response will be displayed in the Suggestions box below the Set Path to Data in Response field.
-
Click on a suggestion to automatically populate the Set Path to Data in Response field with the corresponding path. The populated path can be modified directly within the field if further customization is needed.

Metadata
If metadata is included in the response but is located outside of the defined path to relevant data, you can configure Nexla to include this data as common metadata in each record.
For ServiceTitan responses, pagination metadata such as page.totalCount and page.hasMore are returned alongside the data array. If preserving this pagination context with each record is useful for your use case, you can specify the path to this metadata.
Metadata paths are particularly useful for preserving ServiceTitan response context like total record counts or pagination state that applies to all records in a response.
-
To specify the location of metadata that should be included with each record, enter the path to the relevant metadata in the Path to Metadata in Response field.
- For responses in JSON format, enter the JSON path to the object or array that contains the metadata. For ServiceTitan responses, the pagination metadata is typically accessible at
$.page.
- For responses in JSON format, enter the JSON path to the object or array that contains the metadata. For ServiceTitan responses, the pagination metadata is typically accessible at
Request Headers
-
If Nexla should include any additional request headers in API calls to this source, enter the headers & corresponding values as comma-separated pairs in the Request Headers field (e.g.,
header1:value1,header2:value2).ServiceTitan requires the
ST-App-Keyheader on every API request. This header is automatically added by Nexla using the Application Key stored in your ServiceTitan credential — you do not need to add it manually here. You do not need to include any headers already present in the credentials.
Endpoint Testing
After configuring all settings for the selected endpoint, Nexla can retrieve a sample of the data that will be fetched according to the current configuration. This allows users to verify that the source is configured correctly before saving.
-
To test the current endpoint configuration, click the Test button to the right of the endpoint selection menu. Sample data will be fetched & displayed in the Endpoint Test Result panel on the right.
-
If the sample data is not as expected, review the selected endpoint and associated settings, and make any necessary adjustments. Then, click the Test button again, and check the sample data to ensure that the correct information is displayed.
Save & Activate the Source
- Once all of the relevant steps in the above sections have been completed, click the Create button in the upper right corner of the screen to save and create the new ServiceTitan 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.
