Hi Ryan,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

This will require adding custom rewrite rule and then filtering that post type's URL, as explained in this reply:
https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/94820

For example, suppose that you have a custom post type with slug "book" and the slug of the custom taxonomy that you'd like to include the term from is "book-type-slug".

In your custom post type's edit screen, you can select "Use a custom URL format" option with the text "book/book-type"
Screenshot: hidden link

And in your theme's "functions.php" file, you can include the custom filter to replace the static "book-type" part with the first attached term's slug:

function wpa_course_post_link( $post_link, $id = 0 ){
	$post = get_post($id);  
	if ( (is_object( $post )) && ( $post->post_type == 'book' ) ){
		$terms = wp_get_object_terms( $post->ID, 'book-type-slug' );

		if ( ! empty( $terms ) ) {
			if ( ! is_wp_error( $terms ) ) {
				return str_replace( 'book-type' , $terms[0]->slug , $post_link );
			}
		}
	}
	return $post_link;  
}
add_filter( 'post_type_link', 'wpa_course_post_link', 1, 3 );
