How to integrate Flocknote into your website

Integrating your email and text message communications into your website has never been easier thanks to eCatholic's seamless Flocknote integration. There are two ways you can integrate Flocknote with your eCatholic website:

Place a simple subscribe form for any Flocknote group onto a page of your website.
Automatically show your latest notes on your site.

How to connect your Flocknote account

To activate the Flocknote modules, you must first complete the following steps:

Log in to your website, then click on Admin in the white Admin Toolbar at the top of the interface. Then, click Settings > Integrations & Social, locate the Flocknote Integration setting, and toggle it ON.
Next, enter your Flocknote Shortname, URL, or ID in the Flocknote ID field. Once finished, be sure to click Save/Publish at the bottom of the screen.

NOTE: Only Admins will be able to complete this step.

Once you've successfully connected your Flocknote account to your eCatholic website, you will be able to access two Flocknote modules in your site's content tray: 1) Simple Subscribe and 2) Latest Notes.
