Smartwaiver

Smartwaiver is a digital waiver service that turns paper release and consent forms into legally binding electronic documents that customers can sign online or on-site at a kiosk. The Smartwaiver API lets you retrieve signed waivers, templates, check-ins, participant photos and signatures, and account information, and manage dynamic templates, prefilled waiver links, SMS delivery, and webhook configuration.

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

Prerequisites

Before creating a Smartwaiver credential, you need an API key from your Smartwaiver account. The Smartwaiver API uses API key authentication, with the key sent in the sw-api-key request header on every call.

To obtain your Smartwaiver API key, follow these steps:

1. Sign in to the Smartwaiver Waiver Console with your account credentials.

2. Click the My Account icon near the top-left of the console, then click API Keys.

3. Click the Create New API Key button.

4. Enter a name or label for the key so you can identify how it is used, then click Save API Token.

5. Your API key is displayed once in a pop-up box. Click Copy Key and store the value in a safe location, as it will not be shown again.

The API key authenticates your requests and grants access to the waivers, templates, and settings on your Smartwaiver account. Treat the key as sensitive information. If it is compromised, delete it in the Waiver Console and generate a new one. For a full list of endpoints and request/response details, see the Smartwaiver API v4 Documentation.

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 Smartwaiver API key in the API Key field. This is the key you generated in the Waiver Console under My Account > API Keys, as described in Prerequisites. Nexla sends this value in the sw-api-key header for all requests to the Smartwaiver API.

   The API key provides access to your Smartwaiver account data and should be kept confidential. If the key is compromised, delete it in the Waiver Console and generate a new one.

   For detailed information about authentication and available endpoints, see the Smartwaiver API v4 Documentation.

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 Smartwaiver connector tile, then select the credential that will be used to connect to Smartwaiver, and click Next; or, create a new Smartwaiver credential for use in this flow.

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

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