Lovable and Keap integration: Step-by-Step Guide 2025

 

Step 1: Setting Up Keap Configuration

 

In this step, we create a configuration file that holds the endpoint URL for Keap’s API and your API access token. Since Lovable does not have a terminal, you need to manually add this file to your repository.

• Create a new file named keapConfig.ts inside your project folder. For organization, you may place it under a folder called src/config (create this folder if it does not exist).
• Copy and paste the following code into keapConfig.ts. Replace YOURKEAPACCESS_TOKEN with your actual Keap API access token.

export const keapConfig = {
  apiUrl: 'https://api.infusionsoft.com/crm/rest/v1',
  accessToken: 'YOURKEAPACCESS_TOKEN'
};

 

Step 2: Creating the Keap Integration Module

 

Now, create a module to handle interactions with Keap’s API. In this example, we add a new contact to Keap. This module utilizes the configuration defined in Step 1 and uses the built-in fetch API, which Lovable projects support by default.

• Create a new file called keapIntegration.ts in the folder src/integrations (create the folder if it is not already available).
• Copy and paste the following code into keapIntegration.ts.

import { keapConfig } from '../config/keapConfig';

export interface Contact {
  email: string;
  firstName: string;
  lastName: string;
}

export const addContactToKeap = async (contact: Contact): Promise<any> => {
  try {
    const response = await fetch(${keapConfig.apiUrl}/contacts, {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'Authorization': Bearer ${keapConfig.accessToken}
      },
      body: JSON.stringify(contact)
    });

    if (!response.ok) {
      throw new Error(Keap API responded with status ${response.status});
    }
    return await response.json();
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error adding contact to Keap:', error);
    throw error;
  }
};

 

Step 3: Integrating Keap Functionality in Your Lovable Project

 

You now need to use the Keap integration module in your main project code. Identify the file where you handle new user registrations or contact creation in your Lovable project (for example, src/main.ts).

• At the top of the file, import the addContactToKeap function:

import { addContactToKeap, Contact } from './integrations/keapIntegration';

• Within your function that processes new contacts (for instance, after a user registers), add a call to addContactToKeap. Adjust the field mappings to reflect your data structure. For example:

const handleNewRegistration = async (userData: { email: string; firstName: string; lastName: string; }) => {
  // Your existing registration logic here

  const contact: Contact = {
    email: userData.email,
    firstName: userData.firstName,
    lastName: userData.lastName
  };

  try {
    const keapResponse = await addContactToKeap(contact);
    console.log('Contact successfully added to Keap:', keapResponse);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Failed to add contact to Keap:', error);
  }
  
  // Continue with any subsequent logic
};

 

Step 4: Testing the Keap Integration

 

After integrating the code, review the following instructions to test your changes without using a terminal:

• Ensure all files are saved within the Lovable project.
• Trigger the part of your application that calls the handleNewRegistration function (e.g., submit a registration form).
• Monitor any error messages or console logs that indicate the success or failure of adding the contact to Keap.

 

Step 5: Finalizing and Deployment

 

Now that your Keap integration is implemented and tested:

• Review each file (keapConfig.ts, keapIntegration.ts, and your main integration code) to ensure they are correctly saved.
• Deploy your updated Lovable project following your usual deployment process.
• Double-check that the API endpoint and access token are correctly configured for your production environment.
