4. Blog Creation: Create blog post using Wix Blog API
5. Publishing: Publish immediately or save as draft
6. Feedback: Return published post URL and status

User Experience

1. Connect Account: User clicks "Connect to Wix" → OAuth flow → Account connected
2. Generate Content: User creates blog content using ALwrity AI tools
3. Publish: User clicks "Publish to Wix" → Content published to Wix website
4. View Result: User gets published post URL and can view on their Wix site

🔧 Setup Requirements

Environment Variables

# Wix Headless OAuth - Client ID only, no Client Secret required
WIX_CLIENT_ID=your_wix_client_id_here
WIX_REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:3000/wix/callback

Wix App Configuration

1. Create Wix app at Wix Developers
2. Configure OAuth settings with required scopes
3. Set redirect URI for your environment
4. Important: Wix Headless OAuth only requires Client ID, no Client Secret needed

Critical Third-Party App Requirements

• memberId is MANDATORY for creating blog posts as a third-party app
• The integration automatically retrieves and stores member IDs during OAuth
• This requirement cannot be bypassed and is enforced by Wix's API

Database Setup

• Token storage table for user authentication
• Secure token encryption and management

🧪 Testing

Test Page

• Navigate to /wix-test in ALwrity
• Complete OAuth flow
• Test blog publishing functionality
• Verify connection status

Integration Testing

• Run python test_wix_integration.py in backend directory
• Verify service initialization
• Test content conversion
• Check environment configuration
