How to Integrate Group Leads with Beehiv

Connecting your Beehiiv newsletter account to GroupLeads allows you to automatically add Facebook Group members to your Beehiiv subscriber list, sync email addresses, and assign custom publication tags.

Follow the step-by-step guide below to generate your Beehiiv API Key, retrieve your V2 Publication ID, and connect them using the CRM tab in the GroupLeads Chrome Extension.

Prerequisites

• An active Beehiiv account.
• GroupLeads Chrome Extension installed and connected to a Google Sheet.
• Facebook Group membership questions configured.

Step 1: Generate Your Beehiiv API Key

1. Log in to your Beehiiv Dashboard.
2. Click Settings (⚙) in the bottom-left sidebar.
3. In the left navigation menu under Integrations or Settings, click API.
4. On the API page, click the Create New API Key button.
5. In the popup modal, enter a descriptive key name (e.g., GroupLeads Integration) into the Key Name field.
6. Click Create New Key.
7. Copy your generated API Key string immediately and save it in a temporary text file or notepad. (Note: Copy your API key right away, as it will not be displayed again after closing the modal).

Step 2: Copy Your V2 Publication ID

1. While still on the Beehiiv API page, scroll down to the Publication ID section.
2. Locate and copy the V2 Publication ID string. (Important: Make sure to copy the V2 version specifically, as legacy or V1 Publication IDs will not function with the integration).
3. Paste the Publication ID into your notepad alongside your API Key.

Step 3: Open GroupLeads and Access the CRM Tab

Now switch to your browser extension to complete the connection:

1. Open Google Chrome and launch the GroupLeads Chrome Extension.
2. Click the gear / settings icon (⚙) next to your Facebook Group name.
3. Click the CRM tab in the top navigation bar (located between Setup and Auto Responder).
4. Toggle ON the Enable CRM switch to activate CRM integration and automation.

Step 4: Configure Beehiiv Credentials and Verify

1. Under CRM Integration, select Beehiiv from the dropdown list.
2. Toggle ON Send Questions/Answers to Beehiiv (if you want member Q&A responses saved).
3. Enter your saved credentials into the respective input fields:
   • API Key *: Paste your Beehiiv API Key generated in Step 1.
   • Publication ID *: Paste your V2 Publication ID copied in Step 2.
   • Tag Name: Enter your desired subscriber tags (you can add a single tag or multiple tags separated by commas, e.g., facebook-leads, newsletter).
4. Click Verify & Update (or Update) to validate your credentials and save the connection. Once saved, a green Connected badge will appear.

✅ You're all set! Your Beehiiv account is now fully connected to GroupLeads. Every approved Facebook Group member will automatically be subscribed to your Beehiiv publication with your specified tags.
