This tutorial will guide you through the process of integrating the ContentBlocks membership service with your campaign and products.
Step 1: Access the Configure → Integrations section
Step 1: Access the Configure → Integrations section
In your PayKickstart account, go to Configure → Integrations.

First, you’ll need to integrate on your main integration page.
Inside the Integrations menu, make sure to click on the Available tab.
Then find the Membership category in the filter, and scroll down to locate ContentBlocks.
You can also search for ContentBlocks directly within the Search field:

Enable the ContentBlocks integration widget by clicking the toggle switch.
Step 2: Connecting the ContentBlocks integration
Step 2: Connecting the ContentBlocks integration
For ContentBlocks, you will need to obtain your API Key, and specify the Login URL for customers. To find this info, do the following:
Once inside a Workspace, go to the Settings area→ https://app.contentblocks.com/settings/api-webhooks
Grab your API key in the API section of your settings area:

API Key: To find your API Key, go to your ContentBlocks account’s Settings and click on the API tab option.
Login URL: The URL of the Membership Area Login page emailed to the customer along with their credentials.
To obtain it, click on the view page option on your dashboard, and log out if you’re logged in from the area. For example:

In your PayKickstart integrations section enter the above required details:

Once this information has been entered, select Connect.
Step 3: Creating an Automation Trigger for your Product(s)
Step 3: Creating an Automation Trigger for your Product(s)
After connecting your account, you must set up a Trigger to tell PayKickstart when to send customer information to ContentBlocks.
In the PayKickstart dashboard, go to Configure and select Triggers →
https://app.paykickstart.com/vendor/configure/triggers

Click the + New Trigger button to create a new rule.

Configure the Trigger settings as follows:
Status:
First, toggle the switch at the top to make the trigger ACTIVE.Trigger Name:
Give your trigger a descriptive name so you can easily identify it later
(e.g., "Product 1 - New Sale to ContentBlocks").
Select Event(s):
Choose the event that will fire this trigger.
For adding new customers, New Sale is the most common choice.
Please Note:
Available event options will show clearly only after saving your first trigger.
We recommend choosing the New Sale event when setting up the integration for the first time as it would trigger with any new transaction that is created for the product.
For ContentBlocks, the currently available and supported events are:
New Sale - triggers when a new transaction is created for the product
New Trial - triggers when a new trial is started for the product
Refund - triggers when a refund is issued to the customer, for the specific product
Subscription Cancellation - triggers when a Subscription is cancelled, for the product
Pending Cancellation - triggers when choosing to cancel the subscription at the end of the billing period, instead of immediately
Cart Abandonment - triggers 15 minutes after the checkout page has been abandoned
Subscription Changed - triggers whenever the subscription’s plan has been changed to a different one
IF Condition (The Rule):
This defines the variable that must be included for the trigger to run.
Important: The IF condition must be set to a Product, for the integration to function.

Best Practice Use Case:
We recommend creating a separate trigger for each product. This makes it easier to manage and troubleshoot specific product integrations if needed, rather than having 1 trigger where all products are selected.
THEN Action (The Result):
This defines what will happen when the IF condition is met.

Set the THEN action to: add customer to a membership.
Service: Select ContentBlocks from the dropdown.
Account: Choose the ContentBlocks account you connected in your Integrations section.
Select a Tag: the membership level/tag where customers will be added to.
You can find your tags in ContentBlocks in the “Access Tags” section of your workbook’s settings area → https://app.contentblocks.com/settings/access-tags

Once you have configured the rule, click the Update Trigger button to save your automation, and make sure the Trigger is Enabled.
After you save the integration settings for the product, the customer will receive login access to the membership platform after purchase.
If the purchase is related to a subscription, access to the membership would be controlled automatically by the customer’s subscription status in PayKickstart.
