Before You Begin
- You'll need an active Nutri-Q account to use this integration.
- The Nutri-Q integration is available on all paid Practice Better plans.
- Only one Nutri-Q account can be linked per practitioner.
- The NAQ cannot be added to a Program Module.
- The NAQ cannot be set as a required form on a booking page.
Linking Nutri-Q to Practice Better
The Nutri-Q integration is available on all paid Practice Better plans. You'll need your Nutri-Q API key to get started.
- Log in to your Nutri-Q account, click your profile image in the bottom-right corner, and select My Account.
- Select 3rd Party Integrations from the left-hand menu, then click Link your Practice Better account. Copy the API key that appears.
- In Practice Better, click the Settings gear icon in the top-right corner of your portal and go to 3rd Party Integrations.
- Click Link next to NTA Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire (NAQ).
- In the pop-up, paste your copied API key and enter your Nutri-Q account email, then click Link.
📍 Note: Copy and paste your API key rather than typing it manually to avoid connection errors. Each Nutri-Q account can only be linked to one Practice Better account.
Once linked, the NAQ will appear as a form option you can send to clients.
Unlinking and re-linking your account
If you need to disconnect your Nutri-Q account, go to Settings > 3rd Party Integrations and click Unlink next to the NAQ. To reconnect, follow the steps above.
Sending the NAQ to clients
Clients don't need a Nutri-Q account to complete the NAQ — they'll receive a link via email that opens a Nutri-Q-hosted page where they can fill it out. The NAQ must be sent to clients one at a time using the steps below.
- Go to the client's Recent Activity page or their Forms & Waivers section.
- Click the Fast Action Button in the bottom-right corner and select Send forms.
- Select Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire (Nutritional Therapy Association) from the options.
- Your client will receive an email notification from Practice Better with a link to complete the NAQ.
You can also send the NAQ when adding a new client from My Clients > Add Client.
Resending the NAQ
If a client didn't complete the NAQ, you can send it again using the same steps above. Each send creates a new copy for the client to complete.
Sending the NAQ automatically after a booking or package is confirmed
Save time by setting up an automation to send the NAQ based on the service or package booked. For services, you can choose to send it immediately, or schedule it to go out before or after the session date.

Viewing NAQ reports
You'll receive a notification when a client completes the NAQ. To view their report:
- Go to the client's record and open the Documents section.
- Open the NTA NAQ Reports folder — this folder is created automatically once a client submits their first NAQ.
You can also track when the NAQ was sent and completed in the client's Recent Activity stream.
