MateFlow gives admins several ways to connect a community to the rest of your stack. Everything lives in one place: open Admin โ Settings โ Integrations, which has tabs for Integrations (connected apps), Webhooks, API access, Docs, and Activity logs. Single sign-on is configured separately under Admin โ Settings โ SSO.
Connected apps
The Integrations tab lists third-party services you can connect with a few clicks. Supported apps include Zapier, Slack, Discord, Google Calendar, and Mailchimp, plus a custom option. Click Connect, provide the requested credentials, and the connection is stored securely. You can disconnect at any time from the same card.
Webhooks
Webhooks push events from your community to any URL you control, so external systems react in real time. To create one, go to the Webhooks tab, click Add webhook, and set:
- Name and destination URL
- One or more events to subscribe to
- A signing secret so your endpoint can verify each request is genuinely from MateFlow
- An active toggle to pause delivery without deleting the hook
The events MateFlow emits cover members, content, and payments:
| Category | Events |
|---|---|
| Members | member.joined, member.role_changed, member.suspended, member.reinstated |
| Content | post.created, post.deleted, comment.created, comment.deleted |
| Payments | payment.received, payment.failed, subscription.created, subscription.renewed, subscription.canceled, refund.issued |
Use Test to send a sample payload, and check the Activity tab for delivery logs โ status, response codes, and success rate โ to debug failures. Webhooks are a plan feature, and your plan sets how many you can create.
API access
The API access tab lets you generate scoped API keys for programmatic access to the public API at https://api.mateflow.com. When creating a key you give it a name, choose permissions (such as site.read, content.read, content.write, and media.write), and optionally restrict it to specific IP addresses. The full key is shown only once at creation, so copy it immediately. Revoke any key from the same list. The Docs tab has the endpoint reference.
Single sign-on (SSO)
On higher-tier plans you can require members to log in through your identity provider. MateFlow supports SAML 2.0 and OIDC. Under Admin โ Settings โ SSO you paste or parse your IdP metadata, copy the service-provider Entity ID and ACS URL back into your IdP, and choose a login policy (SSO plus password, SSO plus all methods, or SSO only). Just-in-time provisioning creates accounts on first login, allowed domains scope access, recovery admins prevent lockouts, and an audit tab tracks SSO sign-ins. Use Test connection before enabling it for everyone.
