Integrate Deadline Funnel with Your Shopify Flow

Before we get started, you must first install the Deadline Funnel Shopify App:
Once you have installed the App, you should set your password and create your Deadline Funnel account:

10. Add an Email to Your Flow
After we have implemented the HTTP request, we have created an email to be automatically sent out to the user once they have gone through the HTTP request:
Next up, you should add the Deadline Funnel email link to your email.
Add Deadline Funnel Email Links to Your Shopify Emails
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).
1. Copy the Email Link
Navigate to the 'Emails' tab in the left-hand menu.
Click on the Email Link to copy it so you can use it in your Shopify email and automatically include the subscriber's email address in your link for tracking purposes:
2. Choose Where to Add Your Email Link
In your Shopify email, highlight the text that you want to link to your Shopify page and then click the link button:
Then, add your email link:
3. Select a Button
If you want to add the link to a button, simply highlight the button and insert the link in the URL field:
Your email link now appears in your email and will track your subscribers who click that link and take them to your campaign page.
Test Your Campaign
Once you've set up your integration, make sure to do a quick test to make sure all the pieces are connecting properly.
1. Clear Your Tracking
Open your campaign, go to the testing tab, and click on Clear My Tracking:
2. Enter Your Email Address
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 go through the HTTP request in your Shopify flow:
3. Add Your Test User to Shopify
Add your test user to Shopify. You can do that by going to Customer and selecting Add Customer:
Once the user has been created, you should trigger the Shopify flow. If you, for example, have chosen "Customer tags added" as your trigger, you can add a tag to your user to enter the flow.
4. Confirm Your Test User
Once you have opted in to your Shopify flow, you should be able to see the user in your Deadline Funnel 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!
