How to Connect FeedBlitz as Data Destination
The integration will allow you to add/update or unsubscribe subscribers to FeedBlitz based on data from other systems. For example, you can pass contact data from your website, landing page, or Google Sheets to FeedBlitz to add a subscriber. Integration will allow you to automate the data processing process as efficiently as possible using the different services you use.
Let's go through the entire FeedBlitz setup steps together!

Once you've set up a Data Source system, such as Google Sheets, you can set up FeedBlitz as a Data Destination.
To do this, click "Start configuring Data Destination".
Select the system as Data Destination. In this case, you must specify FeedBlitz.
Next you need to specify an action, for example, “Add/update SUBSCRIBER”.
- Add/update SUBSCRIBER - the ApiX-Drive system, based on data from the Data Source stage, will add a new subscriber to your FeedBlitz account.
- Unsubscribe SUBSCRIBER - the ApiX-Drive system, based on data from the Data Source stage, will add a new subscriber or update the data of an existing one in your FeedBlitz account.
The next step is to select the FeedBlitz account to which the data will be sent.
If there are no accounts connected to the ApiX-Drive system, click “Connect account”.
In the window that opens, you must specify your API Key from your FeedBlitz account.
After this, the page will reload and the saved account will be automatically selected.
The API key is located in the "API" section of your FeedBlitz account, click on your profile on the right and select API from the drop-down list. If there is no generated API key, click Generate New Key. Next, copy your API key and paste it into the appropriate field in your ApiX-Drive account.
When the connected account appears in the "active accounts" list, select it.
Attention! If your account is on the "inactive accounts" list, check your access to this login!
Now you need to set up the connection between the fields of the Data Source using the example of Google Sheets with the corresponding fields in FeedBlitz.
Also select the list you want to add subscribers to.
To add a variable, click on the field in which you need to transfer data and select the desired variable from the drop-down list.
Now you can see the test data.
If you want to send test data to FeedBlitz in order to check the correctness of the settings, click "Send test data to FeedBlitz" and go to your FeedBlitz to check the result.
Note! After sending the test data, a email will be sent to the specified email confirming your subscription to get the newsletter, confirm it.
The subscriber will be added to the FeedBlitz list only by confirming the subscription by email.
If you want to change the settings, click "Edit" and you will go back a step.
If you are satisfied with everything, click “Next”.
This completes the Data Destination system setup!
Now you can start choosing the update interval and enabling auto-update.
To do this, click "Enable update".
On the main screen, click on the gear icon to select the required update interval or setup scheduled launch. To start the connection by time, select scheduled start and specify the desired time for the connection update will be started, or add several options at once when you need the connection will be started.
Attention! In order for the scheduled launch to work at the specified time, the interval between the current time and the specified time must be more than 5 minutes. For example, you select the time 12:10 and the current time is 12:08 - in this case, the automatic update of the connection will occur at 12:10 the next day. If you select the time 12:20 and the current time is 12:13 - the auto-update of the connection will work today and then every day at 12:20.
To make the current connection transmit data only after another connection, check the box "Update connection only after start other connection" and specify the connection after which the current connection will be started.
To enable auto-update, switch the slider to the position as shown in the picture.
In order to perform a one-time connection trigger, click on the arrow icon.
This completes the setup of FeedBlitz as a Data Destination! See how simple it is!?
Now you don’t have to worry, ApiX-Drive will do everything on its own!
