Setup

Configuring your API

Once you’ve installed the Wistia plugin, you’ll need to create an OAuth credential within your Wistia account. Under the advanced section of your settings page in your account, you’ll see an option called ‘API access’.

By default, this API won’t include access to the Wistia OAuth service. In order to gain access to this service, you’ll be required to contact Wistia support and submit a request.

Once you’ve been granted access to the OAuth API, you’ll see an ‘OAuth Applications’ menu under your settings page.

From here, you’ll need to create a new application, as well as add a relevant redirect URI.

The URI value will be the link to the page in your application where a user will be redirected to once their Wistia account is validated.

Now, copy the Client ID and Client Secret keys into the relevant fields of your Wistia plugin settings.

For reference:

1. The Wistia Client ID field will be added into the Client ID field of the plugin.

2. The Wistia Client Secret field will be added into the Client Secret field of the plugin.

Logging a user in through Wistia

After configuring your OAuth credentials, you can now use the ‘signup/login with social network’ step within a workflow. From the event dropdown menu, you’ll see an option to select the Wistia OAuth provider. This event can be added to an element like a login button.

After a user clicks this button, they’ll be redirected to a Wistia portal where they can verify their account, then be redirected back to the destination URI of your application.

Now, you can choose to display videos from a user’s Wistia account. If you’d like to display a list of a user's videos within a repeating group, configure the type of content to be ‘Wistia Media’, then the data source the be the ‘current user’s Wistia Media’.

Within each repeating group cell, you can then display data about each video by selecting the ‘current cell’s Wistia Media’s’ operator.
