Integrations

The Integrations tab allows you to connect Studio Suite to a few external platforms: Drip, Stripe, Twilio, SendGrid, Google Analytics and Facebook.

Connect to Drip

Drip is an eCRM (email customer relationship manager) that helps you get to know your customers on a deeper level. Drip sends all of the confirmation, reminder, and follow up emails before and after a class. In other words, Studio Suite constantly talks to Drip and tells it when to trigger the emails that you write ahead of time.

To use Studio Suite core functionalities, like mailing, you need to use either the Drip integration or the Automations tab. The Automations tab should cover all the basic mailing needs, but if you are looking for something more advanced, you can use Drip. The process needs to be completed only once.

Step 1: First, you should go to Drip website, click on login in the top-right corner, enter your email address and password and Sign In to your Drip account. Next, click on Settings and then on OAuth Applications.

Step 2: You need to create an application for Studio Suite. Type in the application name and click on Create Application. Your new application should be displayed in the list with the status Active. Click on the Edit button to access the application settings.

Step 3: The Client ID and Client Secret will be automatically generated. The only field you need to fill in is the Callback URL. This URL has a default structure: https://my.getstudiosuite.com/drip/ Add this link in the Callback URL field and click Save.

Step 4: Go back to the Integrations tab of Studio Suite, click on Change under Connect to Drip, and add Client ID and Client Secret in the corresponding fields. Click on Save.

This should send you to the Drip website and require you to log in, if you are not already. A Drip Redirect pop up window will be displayed, click on OK, I understand. Also, if you have multiple Drip accounts, you will need to choose the account you want to connect. Next, you need to grant access to Studio Suite to read and write in your Drip account.

Step 5: Click on the Authorize button. This should send you back to Studio Suite, where you need to wait a few moments for the connection to be established. Once it is done, you should see your Connect to Drip status changed and the red circle going green.

Your Studio Suite account is now connected to Drip and you will be able to use all the info for mailing campaigns. You can disconnect at any time, to stop sending info to Drip. If you want to learn more about using Drip, you can browse through the Drip documentation. Also, if you want to know more about our authentication process, you can read the Authentication chapter in the API documentation. We are using full OAuth 2 authentication.

Connect to Stripe

To connect Studio Suite to your Stripe account, you need to add your Stripe Public API and your Stripe Secret API. Log in to your Stripe account, click on Developers > API Keys. This will display a list with a Publishable key and a Secret Key. Copy the values from the Token column, go back to to Studio Suite and add them in the Connect to Stripe field. The Publishable key should look like this: pk_live_arandomstringoflettersandnumbers The Secret key should look like this: sk_live_arandomstringoflettersandnumbers

Next, you will need to set up your sender email. In the Dashboard, click on the Settings tab, in the left sidebar, then click on Sender Authentication and Authenticate Your Domain.

You will need to answer a few questions to complete the process. For nr. 1 choose your DNS from a dropdown and for nr. 2 choose if you wish to brand the links for this domain. Click Next and add your domain in the Domain You Send From field. Next, you will need to add a few records to your DNS. If you are not sure how to do this, you can use the Send to a Coworker option. Once everything is added, check the I've added these records box and click Verify.

Once your domain is authenticated and verified, you can use a sender email from this domain. Copy the SendGrid API Key and sender email, go back to Studio Suite and add them in the Connect to SendGrid fields.

Your Studio Suite account is now connected to SendGrid and you will be able to use your own mail address for Studio Suite mails. You can disconnect at any time, to use the default Studio Suite email address.

Once you connect Studio Suite to your SendGrid account, you will be able to create new automations in the Automations tab.
