The integration with MailerLite is the easiest and most flexible way to integrate Deadline Funnel with your MailerLite account.

In the example below, we will set up an automation in MailerLite that sends the webhook to trigger the Deadline Funnel tracking.

As soon as a contact reaches that part of the automation, their unique deadline will begin in Deadline Funnel.

1. First, go to your Deadline Funnel campaign and copy your webhook:
​

2. Open your MailerLite automation and choose a trigger. In this example, we have used "When subscriber completes a form". This means that the deadline will be triggered when a user submits a form on our website:
​

3. Once you've hit Save, click the plus icon and select Webhook:
​

4. On the right side of your screen, you should add your Deadline Funnel Webhook:
​

Paste your Deadline Funnel webhook (see step 1) to the "Webhook URL" field in MailerLite.

In the "Secret Key" field, you should write "Deadline Funnel":
​

5. When you are done, click Save.
​

The integration is now complete. Any time a user enters your MailerLite automation and reaches the Deadline Funnel webhook step in the 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.

Once you've set up your integration, make sure to do a quick test to make sure all the pieces are connecting properly.

1. Open your campaign, go to the testing tab, and click on "Clear My Tracking":
​

2. In step two, fill out your email address for your test user and click next:
​

3. Add a test contact to your MailerLite automation. The best practice is to opt this email in the way a prospect would normally opt-in.

4. Once you have opted in to your automation, you should be able to see the user in your 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!

For the 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 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.
