CloseHub Connector

Description

CloseHub Connector replaces the multiple credentials previously required to link a WordPress site with CloseHub — a marketing project management platform.

Once the plugin is activated, it generates a secure API key and exposes a dedicated REST API namespace (/wp-json/closehub/v1/) that CloseHub uses to interact with your site.

What it replaces:

  • WordPress Application Password (username + password)
  • WooCommerce REST API consumer key and consumer secret
  • Gravity Forms API key

You only need to share two things with CloseHub:

  1. Your site URL
  2. The generated API key (found at Settings CloseHub)

Available endpoints:

  • GET /closehub/v1/ping — verify the connection
  • POST /closehub/v1/posts — publish or draft a post
  • GET /closehub/v1/woocommerce/orders — fetch order data (requires WooCommerce)
  • GET /closehub/v1/gravity-forms/forms — list forms (requires Gravity Forms)
  • GET /closehub/v1/gravity-forms/forms/{id} — get form details
  • GET /closehub/v1/gravity-forms/forms/{id}/entries — count form entries by date range

WooCommerce and Gravity Forms endpoints return a clear error if those plugins are not active — they are not required.

Installation

  1. Upload the closehub-connector folder to /wp-content/plugins/.
  2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen in WordPress admin.
  3. Go to Settings CloseHub.
  4. Copy the Site URL and API Key shown on that page.
  5. Paste both values into CloseHub under your project’s WordPress connection settings.

FAQ

Where do I find my API key?

Go to Settings CloseHub in your WordPress admin. The key is displayed there along with a copy button.

Can I regenerate the API key?

Yes. Click Regenerate Key on the Settings CloseHub page. The old key stops working immediately — update CloseHub with the new key right away.

Do I need WooCommerce or Gravity Forms installed?

No. Both are optional. If they are not active, those endpoints return a 503 response with a clear message instead of crashing.

How is the API key secured?

The key is stored in wp_options (never exposed on the frontend), transmitted only via HTTPS, and verified using constant-time comparison (hash_equals) to prevent timing attacks. It is never logged or included in REST responses.

Can I use this plugin on a multisite network?

The plugin works on individual sites within a multisite network. Each site generates and manages its own API key independently.

Is this plugin affiliated with WooCommerce or Gravity Forms?

No. It integrates with those plugins using their public PHP APIs but is not developed, endorsed, or supported by WooCommerce or Gravity Forms.
