This API integration provides the ability to set up Deadline Funnel campaigns that are triggered when someone gets tagged or clicks a link in addition to during opt-in. This allows you to send an evergreen marketing campaign to existing Ontraport subscribers and incorporate a Deadline Funnel authentic evergreen deadline.

Click Integrations in the navigation, then click New Integration, now choose Ontraport and then click Next:

You will now arrive on this page:

Next log into your Ontraport account and click 'Administration':

Under Integrations, click 'Ontraport API Instructions and Key Manager':

Click 'New API Key' from the menu shown here and give your new API key a name, i.e., 'Ontraport Demo key'. Then select the correct User from the DropDown and make sure to select the boxes to turn on Add Contacts, Search Contacts, and Manage Fields as shown here:

Click save and it will take you to this screen where you can see your new App ID and API Key:

Return to Deadline Funnel and paste your 1) Ontraport App ID and 2) API Key into the corresponding boxes in the admin and click 'Connect Ontraport':

Select the custom field from the dropdown that you want to use to store each lead's deadline. If you want to create a new field, just start typing into the box to create the new custom field. Please note: If you create the custom field in Ontraport and then select it in Deadline Funnel (instead of creating it in Deadline Funnel), you will need to create the field under the "Contact Information" tab in the contact record in Ontraport in order for it to work.

Navigate to Contacts > Campaigns and click the campaign you want to integrate with Deadline Funnel or create a new campaign:

Click the '+' for What Happens next, click on 'Advanced' and select 'Send a Webhook':

Click 'Save and Publish' for your campaign and you're ready to test it out.

You can test by adding a new contact to your campaign and then checking under Analytics >> People Tracked in Deadline Funnel to confirm the email address was received by Deadline Funnel.

For the API integration to work you MUST use the Deadline Funnel email links in any of your emails that link to a sales page with a countdown timer, or that link to a page in your funnel that links to another page with your countdown timer.

In other words, the API integration requires that your subscribers click one of the Deadline Funnel email links before they reach a page with a countdown. This is necessary in order to make sure each subscriber is assigned the correct deadline.
