Subscribing to Entities from Squarespace
Steps
- Go to Connections → Incoming and create a new incoming configuration and select Squarespace Subscriber as the subscriber.
- Select the entity you want to subscribe from Squarespace.
- Add any request parameters needed to subscribe to the entity (optional).
- You can optionally add a transformer to transform the request parameters into something you need.
- Select the Squarespace HTTP Client to use.
General Concept
We follow Squarespace documentation on building this connector so you can easily use the connector based on Squarespace API Reference.
Entity
It’s the entity you want to subscribe from Squarespace. Please refer to the entities in Management APIs from the Squarespace API Reference page.
Request Parameters
These are the parameters you can provide to get the needed entity based on Squarespace API Reference. Please look at the example below on how to fill the Request Parameters field when calling “Retrieve a specific order” entity
That’s why we need to define the id property inside the path property in the Request Parameters field. The properties inside query parameters will be parsed as query parameters. Here is the final URL that will be called when using such Request Parameters field on the Retrieve a specific order.
/commerce/orders/123
Input Transformer
Any transformers set here will be executed after the Request Parameters are loaded. So, you basically can add any transformer to provide and transform the request parameters into anything you need either as path parameters and/or as query parameters of an entity.
HTTP Client
It’s the HTTP Client configuration or prototype you will use to access Squarespace.
Publishing Entity to Squarespace
Steps
- Go to Connections → Outgoing, create a new outgoing configuration, and select Squarespace Publisher as the publisher.
- Select the action that you want the publisher to do with the data.
- Select the Squarespace entity you want the data to be published.
- Select the HTTP Client to use.
General Concept
Like the subscriber, the publisher has similar methods on how to use it. The difference is the payload that will be submitted by the publisher originating from the data (from routes, from transformers in outgoing configuration).
Action
Currently, we support Post (HTTP POST method), and Delete (HTTP DELETE method).
Entity
We support publishing to most Squarespace endpoints. Please refer to the entities in Management APIs from the Squarespace API Reference page. Based on the documentation, some endpoints may need one or more path parameters.
For endpoints that drequire an object as the request payload, please look at the example below. For example, we want to Create a Product. Please select “Post” as the action and “Create a Product” as the entity of the publisher.
You can put the payload you want to send to Squarespace into the payload property in the data.
Alumio will send an API request to Squarespace with URL /commerce/products
HTTP Client
It’s the HTTP Client configuration or prototype you will use to access Squarespace.
