In this guide, we'll show you how to integrate Deadline Funnel with Flodesk and use our email links in your Flodesk emails.

If you are setting this up for the first time, please check out our guide to see how to connect your Flodesk API key with Deadline Funnel.

The integration between Deadline Funnel and Flodesk is based on segments. When a user enters the segment you’ve set up, they will automatically be added to your Deadline Funnel campaign and receive a deadline.

First, you must create your segment in Flodesk. You can do this by going to Audience → New Segment:

Give your segment a name and a color:

You should now be able to see your newly created segment in the segment overview:

Open your Deadline Funnel campaign, and select your segment in the list. If you can't see it, please refresh your browser:

Once you have selected your segment, click on Create A Webhook:

The integration is now complete. Any time a user is added to your Flodesk segment, they will be automatically added to your Deadline Funnel campaign, and Deadline Funnel will create a unique deadline for that lead for your special offer.

Deadline Funnel email links are very important to use in your emails wherever you are linking to your special offer (i.e. sales page or checkout page) that subscribers will only be able to access before the deadline.

Deadline Funnel email links pass the subscriber's email address through the link so Deadline Funnel can look up the subscriber's deadline based on their email address and redirect them to your special offer page (or to the expired page if their deadline is expired).
​

Navigate to the relevant campaign in your account and then click into the 'Emails' tab in the left-hand menu.

Select the correct Page URL and click on the Email Link to copy it so you can use it in your Flodesk email and automatically include the subscriber's email address in your link for tracking purposes:

In your Flodesk email, highlight the text that you want to link to your sales page and then click the link button:

Paste your Deadline Funnel Email Link URL into the link box shown and then press Enter:

When you are done, click on Finish in the top right corner:

Your email link now appears in your email and will track your subscribers who click that link and take them to your campaign page.

Once you've set up your integration, make sure to do a quick test to make sure all the pieces are connecting properly.

Open your campaign, go to the testing tab, and click on Clear My Tracking:

Another page will show up, where you should click Clear My Tracking again. This will clear only your tracking data.

Enter the email address that you want to use for this test:

You can now see that Deadline Funnel is waiting for our test user to be added to the segment in Flodesk:

You should now add your test user to the segment in Flodesk. You can do that by clicking on Add subscriber and Add an individual:

Insert the email address for your test user, and select the segment for your Deadline Funnel campaign:

Once you have opted in to your automation, you should be able to see the user in your campaign (it might take a few minutes, so make sure to wait and refresh the page):

If you can see that the event was received, it means that your integration is working!
