Nutshell

Connect Nutshell to collect crm evidence with automated compliance tests, switched on per workspace.

Connect with an API token

1. In Nutshell:

   1. In Nutshell, go to Setup › API keys (https://app.nutshell.com/setup/api-key) and create a key.
   2. Copy the key and paste it into API key.

   Where to find the other values:

   • Email: A Nutshell user's email address; Nutshell uses it as the HTTP Basic username with the API key as the password.

   Nutshell's public documentation does not cover every step.

   Nutshell's guide gives the page but not the button labels, permission options or whether the key is shown only once. No read-only key type is documented.

   Source: developers.nutshell.com, checked 2026-10-07.

2. On Compliance › Connectors, open Nutshell, click Connect, choose API token and fill in:

   Field	What to enter
   Email	Required.
   API key	Required. Stored encrypted and never shown again.

3. Click Connect with token.

Frameworks

Safeguard's automated tests read Nutshell and map to the controls below. When a test passes, the result is evidence toward each control it maps to, in every framework listed. It is evidence toward a control, not proof that the control is met on its own.

These tests are switched on per workspace by the Safeguard team.
