# Getting Started: Thinkific & Groundhogg

[Connecting Thinkific to WordPress with Groundhogg](https://www.youtube.com/embed/kCt-A-0VZBQ?feature=oembed)

To start, you’ll need to ensure you have the following plugins installed and active:

- Groundhogg
- [Groundhogg – Thinkific Extension](https://www.wooninja.io/extensions/groundhogg-thinkific-extension/)

**Important: ***Prior to purchase, ensure that [your Thinkific account ](https://www.thinkific.com/pricing/comparison/)supports Webhooks and the REST API. At the time of writing, this is only applicable to [Thinkific Growth plans or higher.](https://www.thinkific.com/pricing/comparison/)*

***This setup process has multiple steps**. Please read each step carefully and complete all of them. If you skip a step, **your extension will not operate correctly.***

When you are ready to go, your active and installed plugins should look similar to this:

**Activate Your Extension**

In WordPress, open **Groundhogg**, then **Settings** and click **Thinkific**:

![thinkific settings groundhogg](https://www.wooninja.io/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/thinkific-settings-groundhogg-1600x814.png)

Enter your **WooNinja License Key**, click **Save Changes**, then click **Activate License**.

Leaving your Groundhogg Settings open, create a new tab in your browser and log into your **Thinkific School**.

Click **Settings**, then **Code & Analytics** and finally **Webhooks**

![thinkific dashboard start](https://www.wooninja.io/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/thinkific-dashboard-start-1600x810.png)

From here, copy your **API Key **and **Subdomain** to your Groundhogg Thinkific Settings. I recommend you also enable **Verify Webhooks**. Then click** Save Changes**.

Back in your Thinkific school, click **Webhooks**

**Important Update** – *The latest version of the Thinkific Groundhogg plugin will attempt to automatically set up your webhooks once installed on WordPress. Please check for them prior to setting up your webhooks.*

We now must add a webhook for each action we wish to track in Groundhogg. If you wish to use all the benchmarks of our extension, you will need to create a webhook for each of the following:

- user.signin
- user.signup
- enrollment.trial
- enrollment.progress
- enrollment.completed
- order.created

As an example, let’s create the webhook for User Sign In. Click **New Webhook**, choose the **Model** as **User** and the **Topic** as **user.signin**

For the URL, you will need to enter the extension URL. It will be similar to this: https://www.example.com/wp-json/groundhogg-thinkific/v1/webhook

***Note: You will need to change the domain to your own website and it is the same for every webhook.***

![thinkific webhook editing](https://www.wooninja.io/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/thinkific-webhook-editing-1600x484.png)

When finished, click **Save**. Repeat this process for every benchmark you wish to use.

**Top Tip: **You can also open any funnel benchmark for Thinkific and find the correct webhook URL there:

![thinkific webhook url groundhogg](https://www.wooninja.io/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/thinkific-webhook-url-groundhogg-1600x579.png)

When complete, your webhooks in Thinkific will look similar to this:

![thinkific webhooks complete](https://www.wooninja.io/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/thinkific-webhooks-complete-1600x812.png)

Congratulations! You can now set up your Thinkific funnels in Groundhogg!
