Integrations
In order to expand the capabilities of our template, we have integrated different APIs into it. This will allow you to take advantage of added functionality provided by other services.
All integrations inside Societal Labs are completely optional, you won't need to use them if you don't want to. The Admin Dashboard is where you will want to go to enable or diable integrations or features in your site. This modular approach offers you the flexibility to decide what you want to use without having to reconfigure your platform.
Some of the services we have integrated, such as HubSpot and Giphy, are completely free for you to use, while other services will require you to pay to use the API. Since we have developed this template using a modular approach, you can decide which integrations will be functional in your site, therefore, helping you determine what services you use and which ones to pay for.
Please note: You must add your API to the backend, on the API Connector plugin. Once you add your API there, you can visit the Admin Dashboard from the front end of your site and enable this integration.
Adding your API keys to the API Connector Plugin
In order to add API keys to the backend of your platform, please follow the following instructions.
- Click on the Plugins tab on the left sidebar menu.
- Click on the API Connector plugin.
Please know, some of our integrations won't appear in the API Connector plugin as we have used pre existent plugins to create this integration. In the case we have used a pre existent plugin, you will find a note on the docs page for this integration letting you know about it.
3. Inside the API Connector plugin, look for the integration of the service you wish to connect. We have labeled all integrations with their respective names to make it easy for you to find what you're looking for.
To make matters easier, the following integrations were built using the API Connector:
- Giphy
- TinyPNG
