Zapier gives you the ability to use triggers to create different workflows which can make your business run more smoothly.

For this example, we will setup a trigger between Deadline Funnel and Kajabi, so that a countdown timer is started when someone joins a Kajabi list. You can use any email service provider you choose, as long as they integrate with Zapier.

Note: Make sure that you have already integrated your Zapier account with Deadline Funnel and your email platform, and that you are logged into your Zapier account before you begin.

Set up the Trigger for your Zap

In your Zapier dashboard, select 'Make a Zap' and select what app you want to use for your Zap's trigger.

In this example, we want to add a subscriber to Deadline Funnel when that subscriber submits a form in Kajabi.

So we've chosen Kajabi as our trigger app, and "New Form Submission" as the trigger event:

Add Deadline Funnel as the Action for your Zap

After you have set up the Trigger for your Zap, add Deadline Funnel as the Action, and choose Start Deadline as the Event:

Connect your Deadline Funnel account:

Choose the Deadline Funnel Campaign that you want to connect to this Zap, and select the "Email" and "First Name" fields from the Action that you set up above.

In this example, we are connecting this Zap to the "Evergreen Email Campaign" campaign in our Deadline Funnel account. And we are passing the "Email" and "Name" fields from our Kajabi Trigger to the Deadline Funnel Action:

Test and publish your Zap:

You can now test that the Zap is working by adding a new subscriber to your list in your email service provider and verifying that the subscriber's email has been added under Analytics > Event Tracking in Deadline Funnel. Please note that there can be a slight delay between Zapier and Deadline Funnel, so if it doesn't show up right away, simply check back in five to ten minutes.

Important Note about Email Links

For the integration to work you MUST use the Deadline Funnel email links in any of your emails that link to a sales page with a countdown timer, or that link to a page in your funnel that links to another page with your countdown timer.

In other words, the API integration requires that your subscribers click one of the Deadline Funnel email links before they reach a page with a countdown. This is necessary in order to make sure each subscriber is assigned the correct deadline.
