Understanding the Squarespace-Make.com Connection

Setting Up Your First Squarespace-Make.com Automation

1. Generate API Key: In your Squarespace account, go to Settings > Advanced > API Keys to generate a new key.
2. Create a New Scenario in Make.com: Start with an HTTP module to connect to Squarespace's API.
3. Configure the HTTP Module: Use your API key and the appropriate endpoint for your desired action (e.g., retrieving order data).
4. Add Subsequent Modules: Depending on your automation goal, add modules to process the data and perform actions in other apps.
