Give Amabrik access to your Squarespace site

You’ve asked Amabrik to install the snippet for you. To do that, we need to reach Code Injection in your Squarespace settings. The safe way to grant that is to invite us as a contributor with the Administrator role, rather than sharing your login. This page shows you how, plus a fallback and how to remove our access once the install is done.

Before you start, make sure you have admin rights on the site. If you’re not sure, see creating an admin account on Squarespace.

The email to invite

When you submit the Request Installation form in your Amabrik dashboard, we confirm the exact email address you should invite. Use that address, not a guess. It’s shown to you when you submit the form, so keep that page handy while you follow the steps below.

1. Invite Amabrik as an Administrator (recommended)

This is the safest option. You give us a contributor invite with Administrator permissions, and you can remove it in seconds once we’re done. Only the owner and existing administrators can invite contributors.

1. Sign in at squarespace.com and open your site.
2. Open Settings, then Permissions & Ownership.
3. Click Invite Contributor.
4. Enter a name (for example “Amabrik”) and the email address Amabrik gave you on the Request Installation form.
5. Switch the Administrator toggle on. That gives the contributor every permission, including Code Injection, which is what we need to add the snippet. With the Administrator toggle on, the other permission toggles are turned off because Administrator already covers them.
6. Click Invite.

We receive an email invitation and accept it (or create a free Squarespace account if needed) to join your site. Until we accept, our invite shows under the Invites Sent area in the same panel, where you can change the permission level or cancel it. Once we’ve added the snippet and you’ve confirmed your widgets are live, remove our access (see below).

2. Temporary login (fallback, least preferred)

If the invite path doesn’t work for you, you can give us a temporary login. This is the least safe choice, so only use it if you have to:

• Share the login through a secure channel, never plain email or chat.
• Change the password the moment the install is done.

We’ll always prefer the Administrator invite in step 1. It lets us in with a clear, named account you can remove on your own, and you never have to hand over your own password.

Remove our access after the install

Once your widgets are showing on your site, take our access away. You don’t need to keep us connected for Amabrik to keep working, since the snippet lives in your site’s Code Injection and runs on its own.

1. Open Settings > Permissions & Ownership in your Squarespace site.
2. Find the Amabrik contributor (the email you invited).
3. Click the contributor, then choose to remove them from the site. If the invite was never accepted, cancel it under Invites Sent instead.
4. Confirm.

That’s it. Your widgets keep running, and we no longer have any way into your site.

FAQ

Why a contributor invite instead of my login?

An Administrator invite lets us in with a named account you can remove in seconds, and it never exposes your password. Sharing your login gives full control of everything and breaks the moment you change your password, so it’s the wrong tool here.

Why Administrator and not a lower role?

Code Injection, where the snippet goes, is only open to the owner and to contributors with the Administrator role. Lower contributor roles can’t reach it, so the install wouldn’t be possible.

Can’t I just give a permission for code only?

Squarespace doesn’t offer a code-only contributor permission. Code Injection access comes with the Administrator role, so that’s the role to use.

Will removing your access break my widgets?

No. The snippet stays in your site’s Code Injection and keeps loading your widgets. Removing our contributor account only stops us reaching your settings; it has no effect on what visitors see.

Where exactly is Invite Contributor?

Open Settings > Permissions & Ownership, then click Invite Contributor at the top of that panel.
