Hello,

Does anyone already connect to the google API third partie service ?

I tried without success to connect to the google API using the sendgrid example but this is too complicated to me…

Do you know where I can find a example with explain with details how I can authenticate and use the google API

Many thanks for your help

Hey Pierre,

You can start by taking a look at these articles:

Accessing 3rd Party Services
Working with the HTML Component in Wix Code
Then to put it all together:
How to Send an Email on Form Submission
This last articles assumes you’re familiar with the material in the first two articles. It doesn’t use the same service that you want, but it’s a good example of how to build this functionality.

Good luck,

Yisrael

Dear Yisrael,

Thanks for your email, I read the 3 chapters.
I am now able to fetch the 3rd parties services API google.
How can I find the semantic to send the correct parameters to send appropriate info ?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Pierre,

You should find the relevant documentation by Googling the service you would like to interact with.

hi Ido,

I google the api calendar insert. The problem is you can’t use it via a standard way with key_api.
You have to authenticate with OAuth2 first and I do not find how can I do that in wix. Sounds like nobody did it before…

Hi,

You need to check whether they have a REST API . If they have a REST API, you can use the Wix Fetch API to post or get information from the relevant API.

Another option to send an Email is using the sendGrid API as demonstrated on the How to Send an Email on Form Submission article.

Good luck,
Tal.

Hi,
After spending days to connect my website to google API via auth2, I was unable and did not figure out how it works.
After speaking with few experts, sounds like nobody really succeeded via WIX

If you find a way, please let me know.
