How do I integrate my WordPress with my account?

The short answer is that you begin by accessing the Integrations section and selecting WordPress. You then log into your WordPress account and install the Call Rail plugin through the plugin area if it’s not already installed. After activating the plugin, you copy a personal key from your Call Rail Integrations page and paste it into your WordPress Call Rail plugin settings. This completes the integration process.

Full Explanation

To integrate your WordPress site with your account, you need to connect both platforms through a plugin named Call Rail. This plugin acts as the bridge allowing your WordPress backend to communicate properly with your account data. First, inside your account interface, you locate the ‘Integrations’ tab and scroll down to find the WordPress option. Clicking this will prompt you to log into your WordPress account.

Once logged in, the integration continues from your WordPress dashboard by navigating to the plugins area. If the Call Rail plugin is not installed, it must be added. By selecting ‘Add New’ on the plugins page, you gain access to a search box where you can type ‘Call Rail’ to find the exact plugin. Installing and activating it enables further configuration.

The plugin setup requires you to enter a personal key unique to your account, which you obtain by returning to the Integrations page in your account and copying it from the WordPress section. Pasting this key into the plugin’s settings inside WordPress and then saving the changes finalizes the integration.
