Core setup

1. Create a campaign in Deadline Funnel

After creating your campaign, name your campaign and select your email provider and landing page builder.

When selecting your campaign type, select Automated Webinar:

➡️ Please visit our guide for more details about how to create a campaign in Deadline Funnel.

2. Add the Deadline timer to your campaign pages

For your timers to appear on your offer pages, we need to put a piece of code on those pages.

In the top menu of your Deadline Funnel account, click on Tracking Code and click the Copy button. See the first screenshot below.

After you've copied the code you'll need to paste it into your webpage builder so it can track visitors and show your deadline timer.

➡️ Please visit our guide on adding the tracking code to your site to see page builder-specific instructions.

3. Integrate Mailchimp with Deadline Funnel

After you've created your Deadline Funnel campaign, set up the integration between Deadline Funnel and Mailchimp.

This integration allows you to trigger the deadline based on being added to an audience or group.

➡️ Please visit our guide for more details about how to trigger the deadline by adding a tag to the subscriber in Mailchimp.

4. Integrate your webinar platform

If you're using another platform to host your webinars, you'll need to sync its behavior to your Deadline Funnel campaign.

This video and our webinar guide below provide an overview of how to do that.

If you're using a different platform from one of these, you can please visit this guide for more info about syncing Deadline Funnel to your webinar platform.

5. Add Deadline Funnel email links to your automation

Copy the Deadline Funnel email link from the Emails section of your campaign:

Use this link in your emails anywhere that you are linking to your offer page, instead of the offer page's URL.

Now, when someone clicks on the Deadline Funnel email link, Deadline Funnel will look up that subscriber's email address and automatically redirect them to the correct page with the right timer.
