In order to connect your NGPVAN account with Switchboard, you first need to request an API Key.

<aside> 💡 Switchboard recommends NGP if you are running a fundraising program and MyVoters if you are running a voter contact/GOTV program. MyCampaign should only be used if you are managing/recruiting volunteers.

Note - You can always have multiple accounts on Switchboard if you want multiple keys!

  1. Go to the Main Menu of your Account and search “API” in the Search box in the upper lefthand corner. Click on API Integrations, then click “Request an API Key.”

  2. When requesting the key, request it for “Leftapps Switchboard”, then select your support@ for NGPVAN, usually this is the state data director, but any email here can help you out!

<aside> 🚨 IMPORTANT: If for any reason “LeftApps Switchboard” is not popping up in the drop down menu, email the support person in the second section directly, and ask them for the “LeftApps Switchboard” key specifically. They will know who we are, and can fulfill that request for you via email.

  1. Once you request the API key via your account or email, you will have to wait for NGPVAN to get back to you. Either they will email you with the API Key information or the information will appear in the same part of your account where you requested it.
  2. Once you have the information, follow along here to insert the api key and app name into your Switchboard account.
