Getting NestGoesNinja up & running for feeding quote data from Nest/Now to Ninja

[zoheb]

Since many members want to install NestGoesNinja (though it is short lived as the development of this utility has been permanently discontinued), am sharing the settings that has worked for me with the paid version.

 

Good Luck !!

Disclaimer: I am not the developer of any of the above applications, hence am limited in my ability to support any issues with these applications. I do not use this anymore, so will not be able to be of much support if the above does not work for you. But I have tested and used it with the Paid version as detailed above, so I can confirm it works.
