Please watch this training on the fundamentals of integrating automated webinars into your marketing funnel first:
This tutorial covers integrating Deadline Funnel with Ontraport and EasyWebinar using the API integration.
Before You Start the Integration
1. Create Your Evergreen Deadline Funnel Campaign
Set up your Deadline Funnel evergreen campaign based on the number of days between when someone attends your webinar and the deadline for your promotion after the webinar.
For example, if someone registers for your webinar on Monday, but attends your webinar on Tuesday, the deadline will start counting down on Tuesday.
2. Create Your Webinar-related Tags in Your Ontraport Account
We suggest 2 webinar-related tags, one for those who attended the webinar and one for those who missed the webinar.
Integrate Your Ontraport Account with Your EasyWebinar Account
Inside of EasyWebinar, navigate to My Account > Integrations, select Ontraport, and follow EasyWebinar’s instructions for integrating your accounts:
Once you’ve integrated Ontraport and EasyWebinar, click to edit your event, and go into ‘Event Integration’:
Navigate to the ‘Tagging’ section and select the ‘Came to webinar’ and ‘Did not come’ tags:
This will allow EasyWebinar to tag your contacts in Ontraport based on whether they attend your webinar or do not attend.
Adding the Tracking Pixel to your Event Page
Open the Settings tab on the left side of your campaign editor, and copy your Tracking pixel:
Go back to EasyWebinar and go to Advanced Options > Third Party Scripts:
Paste your Deadline Funnel tracking pixel into the Header Scripts box for the ‘Event Page’:
Triggering the Deadline in Ontraport
Use the tags that you specified above as a trigger to add the subscriber to your campaign in Ontraport.
Now add a webhook step to your campaign in Ontraport and use the webhook URL and "data to send" information from your integration in Deadline Funnel.
If you have not set up the API integration with Ontraport yet, you can check out our guide on how to do that here.
When you use either tag to trigger the automation (as shown in the example), you're able to simplify your automation and run everyone through the same automation, whether or not they actually attend the webinar.
Another way to use this integration would be to set up two different automations in Ontraport and have one rule triggered when someone attends, and then the other rule triggered if someone does not attend. This gives you precise control of what messages your subscribers will see based on their specific actions.
When your webinar tag is applied, the Deadline Funnel webhook will trigger and begin the subscriber's deadline. This will coordinate the timing of your Ontraport emails and the Deadline Funnel deadline. Your leads will be tracked by email, cookies, and IP address.
Email Follow-up Instructions
You will be unable to use the email countdown timer or 'deadlinetext' in emails that are sent from EasyWebinar as they do not allow the placeholder required to use the subscriber email
You can and should use Deadline Funnel email links in your follow-up emails to keep your countdown properly synced.
We encourage you to use Ontraport for follow-up emails so that you have the option to include the Deadline Funnel animated countdown and the specific time and date of your subscriber's deadline, in the body of the email.
That's it!
