This document outlines the integration of the Frontcover with Zapier, a tool specifically designed to bridge your existing systems with your Frontcover community.
Summary
Through this integration, you can effortlessly map subscriber and member-related data from your system to the Frontcover platform.
Action: Create Subscription (in Frontcover)
When a user fills out a subscription form (eg. a newsletter sigu up) on your system, such as Squarespace, using their email address, our Zapier integration automatically generates a new subscriber record within your Frontcover community.
How it Works
API Key Authentication
To enable this functionality, obtain your API key from the integration section of your Frontcover community dashboard at /dashboard/integration/zapier.
Note: You will only see newly created API Key once, prepare to copy it and paste it to the Zapier, along with your community slug.
Use the Frontcover Action event
Connect Account
Enter the Frontcover API Key and Community Slug, and click Yes, Continue to Frontcover to connect Frontcover to Zapier.
After connecting to the Frontcover (through Zapier), you can utilise it for various actions. For instance, if you are using Squarespace and someone submits a form, the extracted values will be transformed into our format:
{
"subscriber_email" : "[email protected]",
"subscriber_first_name": "Joe",
"subscriber_last_name": "Doe",
"subscriber_phone_number": "+61123456789"
}
The subscriber_email field is required. The other three fields—subscriber_first_name, subscriber_last_name, and subscriber_phone_number—are optional but recommended.
We use these values, input from the external system (in this case, Squarespace), to create a subscription record with the collected data in our system, related to your community. Each action will return an object like the one below:
{
"data": "xxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx",
"url": "http://www.frontcover.io/test/subscription?subscription_id=xxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx",
"message": "Subscriber created successfully"
}data: Frontcover Subscription Id
url: Frontcover community subscription management Link
message: response message
These details will appear as a new record in the ‘Subscribers’ section of your dashboard.
