Introduction
In this guide, we will show you how to create an evergreen campaign in Deadline Funnel that connects to your automation in Actionetics.
We recommend starting with this guide if you are using Actionetics. 🙂
But if you do not want to create an evergreen campaign - and you want to create a fixed-date campaign - please refer to this guide instead.
🕐 Estimated time:
30 minutes
⚠️ Before you start:
Make sure you have already created a funnel in ClickFunnels
Write at least two or three emails in the automation
Create a special offer page on your website that will be specifically for subscribers going through this automation
Create an expired page on your website that subscribers will be redirected to after their deadline expires
🏗️ We'll show you how to create:
An evergreen Deadline Funnel campaign using the Evergreen campaign type (required)
A Deadline Funnel webhook added to ClickFunnels/Actionetics (required)
One or more Deadline Funnel email links in your automation emails (required)
One or more Deadline Funnel email timers in your automation emails (optional)
Key concepts
Please watch this quick video about how Deadline Funnel integrates with Actionetics:
⏰ THE WEBHOOK: The trigger that starts each subscriber's deadline
Each subscriber who triggers the webhook in your funnel will be added to your Deadline Funnel campaign.
Example: In a 3-day evergreen campaign, if someone triggers the webhook on Monday, their deadline will be Thursday. And someone else who triggers the webhook on Tuesday will have a deadline on Friday.
"But what about when they open an email or click a link in an email?"
It does not matter if your subscribers open an email, when they open an email, or even if/when they click a link in your email.
Each subscriber's deadline will be calculated based on when they trigger the Deadline Funnel webhook in your funnel.
🔗 EMAIL LINKS: Redirect subscribers to your special offer or expired page
In your emails, you will use the Deadline Funnel email links wherever you are linking to your special offer page (instead of linking to your special offer page directly).
Example: If you are linking to www.example.com/special-offer, you will use the Deadline Funnel email link in your email (i.e. https://dfl0.us/s/d7fb49bc?em=#EMAIL# ) instead of www.example.com/special-offer.
When a subscriber clicks on a Deadline Funnel email link, Deadline Funnel will look up their deadline (based on when they went through the webhook) and either redirect them to your special offer page or the expired page.
Core setup
These three steps are required in order to integrate Deadline Funnel + Actionetics. 🙂
1. Create a campaign in Deadline Funnel
When creating your campaign, select the Evergreen campaign type:
2. Add the Deadline Funnel webhook to your Funnel settings in ClickFunnels to start each subscriber's unique deadline
After you've created your Deadline Funnel campaign, set up the integration between Deadline Funnel and Actionetics.
This integration determines where you start each subscriber's Deadline Funnel tracking as they are going through your automation.
➡️ Please visit our guide for more details about how to add the Deadline Funnel webhook to Actionetics.
3. Add Deadline Funnel email links to your automation emails
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 special offer page, instead of linking directly to the special offer page.
Now, when someone receives your emails and clicks on the Deadline Funnel email link, Deadline Funnel will look up that subscriber's email address and automatically redirect them to either your special offer page or offer expired page.
