How to integrate everything to your website.

When you activated your Automation Station account via the control panel of your website, a script, called the "Integration Script,” was installed by default in your root web directory (you can find the script here: /public_html/amx.php).

The integration script will act as an interface between your prospects/affiliates and the Automation Station system. This script will help make it appear that all the Automation Station system resides on your website, making your website look larger and much more professional.

What to do if you deleted the integration script?

If for any reason you delete the "amx.php" script from your website, these simple instructions will quickly restore it.

Step 1) Copy the following code and paste it in a blank text document in your favorite text editor (we recommend Windows Notepad). Once you paste it in the new text document, save it as "amx.php" and shut down the text editor.

Step 2) Upload the file you just created to the "/public_html/" directory on your site using the ThirdSphere file manager or any good FTP program (if you don't have an FTP program, download CuteFTP here).

That's it. You have successfully recovered the integration script and placed it back on your website where it belongs.

Important note:
If your account has a file called "amx.php" instead of "amx.php" it means that your hosting account was opened before our most recent update. You do not need to change anything, the Automation Station system will work exactly the same.
