Intro
In this guide, we'll show you how to integrate Deadline Funnel with Ontraport and use our email links in your Ontraport emails.
Integrate Deadline Funnel with Ontraport
1. Copy the Webhook
Go to the Emails tab in your Deadline Funnel campaign, and copy the webhook:
2. Open Your Ontraport Automation
Open your Ontraport automation, and click on the plus icon:
Go to the Advanced tab, and select Send to a webhook:
3. Add Your Webhook
Open your newly created webhook module, and insert your Deadline Funnel webhook into the Add the destination URL field. In the Add the POST data field, you should add this code:
email=[Email]&contact_id=[Contact ID]&first_name=[First Name]
Click Done when you are finished.
The integration is now complete. Any time a user goes through the webhook in your Ontraport automation, 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.
Add Deadline Funnel Email Links to Your Ontraport 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 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 Ontraport 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 Ontraport email, highlight the text that you want to link to your sales page and then click the link icon:
3. Insert the Email Link
Insert your Deadline Funnel Email Link URL into the Enter URL field and then press Insert Link:
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. You should first visit your page to make sure that the floating bar can be seen. After that, you should opt in to the automation, to make sure that the integration is working.
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 webhook in your Ontraport automation:
3. Add Your Test User to Ontraport
You should now opt in to the Ontraport automation, so that your test user goes through the webhook. You can create a new contact in Ontraport by going to Contacts and clicking on New Contact:
After that, add the user to your automation so that it goes through the webhook.
4. Confirm Your Test User
Once you have opted in to your Ontraport automation, 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!
