Integrate with Circle.so
https://circle.so/ Would love to see an integration with Circle platform. Looks like a super strong platform to utilize. https://api.circle.so/ Ie: capture webhooks (from them) for lesson completion events, or community participation events, etc… Thoughts?

Hey Dan,
WP Fusion connects WordPress plugins with CRMs and email marketing systems.
Since Circle.so isn’t a plugin (we can’t read the Circle.so database), we wouldn’t be able to sync data from it to your CRM.
And since it doesn’t really have email marketing capabilities, it wouldn’t really make sense as a CRM integration. For example we can’t apply a tag in Circle.so when a lesson is completed in LearnDash.
A basic integration might be possible where we sync WordPress users with Circle.so members, but because WP Fusion is designed to connect to your primary email marketing tool, you wouldn’t be able to use any other CRM with WP Fusion… Circle.so would be your main CRM and source of truth for your contact’s tags. I’m hesitant to build something like that because it would be very limited in functionality, and then you’d need to connect Zapier with Circle.so to integrate it with your email marketing.
However, if you’re looking to track activity in Circle.so, our new app we discussed will be able to catch their webhooks and show them for you in a timeline. That’s coming along nicely and will be released soon 🙂
Hi Jack,
Makes sense. I figured since wpFusion tracks activity in LearnDash, it could use Circle.so in much the same way. Circle.so also has a wordpress SSO plugin to sync logins, so at least the users could be kept on the wordpress system. The way I thought about using this with wpFusion was:
wpFusion + memberDash + KadenceThemes + Circle.so SSO plugin + FluentCRM
where Circle.so would only provide the LMS content and the community aspects. Not really making Circle the CRM (using FluentCRM for that).
But thanks, understand the concerns.
Gotcha. Yeah we’d need a hook. Like with LearnDash we use
add_action( ‘learndash_course_completed’, ….
And then our code runs in response to that event.
But since all the processing happens on Circle.so’s servers, there’s nothing we can hook into.
