Starting a new venture? Need to upgrade your web or mobile app? RapidDev builds Bubble apps with your growth in mind.
Step 1: Opening Your Bubble.io Account
To initiate your integration process, you will first need to log into your Bubble.io account. If you do not have an account, navigate to Bubble.io’s official website. Click on the ‘Sign Up’ button, fill out the required information and follow the onscreen instruction to create a new account.
Step 2: Accessing Bubble API
You will need to have access to the Bubble API to enable any integration. With that said, if you do not have API access enabled, click on the bubble editor. When the bubble editor is opened, select the 'settings' tab, and in the dropdown settings menu click 'API.' Enable the data API and check the 'GET' box to allow access to API calls.
Step 3: Creating API Filters
Filters will control what data your API cas access. To set your API filters, navigate to the 'Data' tab via the bubble editor. Select the 'privacy' tab, add a new role, and set up the necessary filters for the data that you want to be accessed by Hootsuite.
Step 4: Acquiring Your API Key
Bubble uses an API key to access the data in your bubble. This key will be added to Hootsuite when the connection is made. To find your API key, go back to your 'settings' tab in the bubble editor and click 'API.' Your API key will be listed there. Highlight and copy this as you will need it for later.
Step 5: Opening Your Hootsuite Account
Fire up a new tab in your browser and log into your Hootsuite account. If you do not have a Hootsuite account, go to the official Hootsuite website and register for a new, free account. You can do this by clicking on the ‘sign up’ button and providing the necessary details.
Step 6: Accessing Hootsuite Developer Tools
Once you are signed into your Hootsuite account, scroll down to the bottom of the 'Dashboard' page. There you will find the 'Developer Tools' option under the 'Apps' section. Click on this to access the developer tools.
Step 7: Creating a New App with Bubble.io Information
To link your Bubble.io with Hootsuite, you will need to create a new app in the Hootsuite developer tools. Click on 'Create New App,' input a name for your app, then you will need to add the API URL and Key from Bubble.io. Paste the API key that you copied from Bubble.io, and for the URL, you will need to use the base URL of your Bubble.io API. After filling in this information, hit 'Create App.'
NOTE: You can find your Base URL in Bubble under settings > SEO & metatags > API base URL.
Step 8: Finishing Up
After you have created the app, Hootsuite will take a few minutes to process the connection. Once this is done, your Bubble.io will be integrated with Hootsuite. You can then manage and control your Bubble.io data using the Hootsuite dashboard.
Bear in mind, though, that Bubble.io allows complex data structures, and the exact representation of this data might require additional setup in Hootsuite and often the moderation of data in Bubble.io itself. This will largely be dependent on what specific data and functionality you wish to achieve from your integration.
Scenario: An online media company is planning to improve its online presence by consistently posting content and engaging with its audience across different social media platforms. They are using Bubble.io for developing and managing their website where users can read and share their articles. They also use Hootsuite to manage their multiple social media profiles and schedule their posts. The company wants to make a system where every new article posted on the website is automatically shared across their social media platforms.
Solution: Integrating Bubble.io with Hootsuite
Website Management: The media company uses Bubble.io to manage their website and content. They publish new articles regularly on their site.
Setting Up the Integration: They set up a connection between Bubble.io and Hootsuite using available APIs or intermediary services like Zapier. They create an event trigger on Bubble.io for every time a new article is published.
Auto Post Workflow: When a new article is posted on the website, the event trigger is activated. The details of the new article (e.g., title, summary, link, featured image) are sent to Hootsuite via the established integration. Hootsuite then drafts a new social media post with these details and schedules it across specified social media platforms at optimal times.
Engagement Tracking in Hootsuite: The Hootsuite platform allows the media company to monitor social media engagement for each post. They can track likes, shares, comments, and other key metrics.
Analytics: The integration provides an efficient way to monitor and analyze the reach and engagement of each article shared on social media. By comparing these metrics with the website analytics, the company can gain valuable insights about their audience behavior.
Benefits:
Efficiency: This integration automates the process of posting content on social media platforms every time a new article is published on the website, saving valuable time for the media company.
Increased Reach: Automated sharing of new articles on multiple platforms increases the reach of the content and brings more traffic to the website.
Data Insights: The data gathered from Hootsuite and the website's analytics system provides valuable insights on the audience's interest, helping the company tailor their future content.
By integrating Bubble.io with Hootsuite, the online media company is able to streamline and automate their content sharing process, expand their reach, and better understand their audience's behavior.
