Open Orbit connections under Organisation. It has one card for each of Orbit's other satellites.
What the badges mean
Every card has one of these badges, the same in every satellite:
- Working: the connection is on, or needs nothing from you. The card lists what flows each way and where to change it.
- Ready to set up: the connection is set up on this page or one click away. The card has the button or switch for it.
- Set up in another satellite: the switch lives in the other satellite, and this one can't see whether it is on. Open takes you to the exact page.
- Nothing to connect yet: the two satellites don't share anything yet. The card says what to do instead, where there is something.
- Not in your organisation: your organisation doesn't have that satellite. Add it in Orbit opens your organisation's Billing in Orbit, where an owner can start a free trial.
The line at the top counts them, such as "2 working · 1 ready to set up", and the cards are sorted the same way. Each card lists what comes From the other satellite, what goes Into it, and what works Both ways.
Orbit connections are only links between Orbit's own satellites. Outside services, such as Stripe, MAM, Sendcloud, Twilio, review sites or your own website, are set up elsewhere in each satellite.
CMS Orbit
When you have access to CMS Orbit, the card lists every website your organisation builds there. A website a site follows says Counted in and the site's name, with Open site. For one no site follows yet, Admins see Follow this website, which adds a site with the website's name and addresses and connects it. To move a website to another site, or to disconnect it, use its space's Settings in CMS Orbit. See Use with CMS Orbit.
Commerce Orbit and Presence Orbit
Commerce Orbit offers every order as an Order placed event with its total as revenue, and Presence Orbit offers every new review as a Review received event with its rating. Each card lists your sites and whether they count it. Switch on opens the site's Settings, where you choose under Events from other satellites. These events count towards your monthly events. See Site settings.
Careers Orbit
Career pages choose the site they count in from Careers Orbit, on its own Orbit connections page, so this card says Set up in Careers Orbit and opens it. Applications then show under Events as Applied, which you can use as a goal.
Travel Orbit
Bookings aren't offered as events yet. To count visits to your own booking website, add the Insights Orbit script to it, like any other site.
