WIld Apricot is one of the many integrations available for use when you partner with PheedLoop for your event management needs. This article will walk you through configuring your Wild Apricot to use with PheedLoop as well as the unique requirements to use

Wild Apricot Configurations

Creating a Wild Apricot Account

The first step is to create a Wild Apricot Account. This article is written with the assumption that your organization already has this account set up. If you would like instructions on how to create a Wild Apricot account, please refer to the How do I create a WildApricot account? article.

Configuring Wild Apricot

Once your Wild Apricot account is created, you will want to configure your account for PheedLoop. Please note, some of the items mentioned here will need to be remembered for later use.

2. Select Authorize Application at the top of the page

   

3. Select User Authorization and select Continue

   

4. Enter your application name under the Application name field
5. Select Generate API Key leave it on Read only

8. Toggle on the Authorize users via Wild Apricot single sign-on service checkbox
9. Under the Trusted redirect domains field, you must add 'https://site.pheedloop.com/sso/redirect'

Adding Contacts to Wild Apricot

As part of the login process, you will need to have users added to Wild Apricot before they can log in through PheedLoop. This article assumes you already have contacts in your account. If you would like instructions on adding contacts, please refer to the Adding contacts manually article.

PheedLoop Configurations

At this point, you will have completed all the configuration steps necessary on Wild Apricot. Now that this is done, you need to copy and paste certain information to PheedLoop before this process can be complete.

1. Log in to your Event Dashboard on PheedLoop and select the gear icon followed by Settings

   

2. Navigate to the Integrations tab and scroll down to Single Sign On Integrations

3. Select Not Connected under Wild Apricot

5. As a reminder, the client ID and client secret are both found in your Application details on the Wild Apricot Dashboard

   

6. The Authorization URL requires some additional set up. First, you will want to go to the Account Dashboard in Wild Apricot and note the website address you are using.

   

7. Second, take this URL and enter it under the following format: 'https://<org_wildapricot_url>/sys/login/OAuthLogin' where <org_wildapricot_url> is your Wild Apricot website address
   1. Important: You must add '/sys/login/OAuthLogin' at the end or this integration will NOT work.

8. Select Submit

   

Your integration should now be connected and users may now login with their Wild Apricot user credentials.

2. Select a registration category and then select Login with Wild Apricot

   

3. You will now be signed in with your Wild Apricot account, where you can continue with your registration.
