How To Create Totally Dynamic GoToWebinar Infusionsoft Campaign

Webinar Replay

GoToWebinar is a powerful tool for generating leads, converting prospects to customers and delivering your content in an engaging way.

Infusionsoft is also a powerful tool for generating leads, converting prospects to customers and delivering your content in an engaging way.

But most people are not using Infusionsoft to fully manage their GoToWebinars.

Or, if they are, they are only kind of, sort of integrated and still require lots of changing and setting up of dates, timers, tags, handout and replay links.

Either way, you are not maximizing sign-ups, attendance and conversion. And you are either tarnishing your brand using those terrible GoToWebinar emails and forms or wasting time managing a campaign.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

1. I will give you the pros and cons of managing a webinar within Infusionsoft Campaign Builder
2. I will show you the limitations of most GoToWebinar integrations
3. I will show you how to build a completely dynamic GoToWebinar campaign including sending one-hour reminders/texts without hard-coding the time, automated set-up of your tags as part of the campaign, dynamic handout and replay links and automated attendance for webinar series.

How To Automatically Change Opportunity Stage in Infusionsoft Campaign Builder

Webinar Replay

When you open Campaign Builder, Infusionsoft, how often do you run into a challenge?

At The API Guys, we do custom development for clients. We found ourselves running into the same roadblocks over and over again.

You know the mantra, right? “If you do something more than three times, automate it!”

So we built ourselves these small blocks of code, reusable in every app, by all of our people, not just the programmers, in a million different ways, without touching the code.

We built bunches of these blocks. They save us lots of time … and time is money, especially in the development business.

So then we thought … I bet everyone would like to have these handy little Infusionsoft plug-ins.

So, we created an Infusionsoft code vending machine! One that spit out our reusable, pre-made, plug-ins … and installed them on your server for you … Almost instantly!

We call it Pocket Developer

So now, everyone can solve these same problems, using Pocket Developer, without knowing code.

HERE IS AN EXAMPLE:

One of the things we are often asked to code for people is an Opportunity Stage Move, right from Campaign Builder. This is not something you can do in Campaign Builder out-of-the-box.
 
But there is no need to pay me or any developer to do a stage move from Campaign Builder. This video shows you how.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN: 

1. I will explain the pros and cons of using an Opportunity in a Campaign. I will also cover what else you can use them for, besides sales pipelines.

2. I will show you how to change the stage of any opportunity, from Campaign Builder, without hiring an expensive developer, using theOpportunity Stage Move plug-in, from Pocket Developer.

3. *** I will show you how to choose a single opportunity to move, from among many opportunities on that same contact *** 

4. I will take any and all questions, in the Q&A, about how to do anything you can’t figure out how to do in Infusionsoft. I love solving tough Infusionsoft puzzles.

POCKET DEVELOPER TAKES THE GRRR! OUT OF CAMPAIGN BUILDER:

If you haven’t seen it, Pocket Developer is as easy as a WordPress plug-in and powerful as a high-priced developer. It is an Infusionsoft game-changer, in five ways:

1. You can now access, update and merge data stored in Opportunities, Appointments, Tasks, Orders, Invoices, Referrals, Tag Descriptions and more

2. You can now access, update and merge data stored in Contacts other than the one going through the campaign

3. You can now delay and resume campaigns, using any increment or description of time (e.g. one hour before {Contact._ApptTime})

4. You can now get creative with new goal scenarios for New Contact Created, New Opportunity Created, New Appointment, New Task, New Invoice, etc.

5. You can reuse Pocket Developer Infusionsoft plug-ins over and over, in as many apps as you want. Pocket Developer is a one time-fee, hosted on your server and completely open source.

Custom Delay Timer – Quickstart Guide

Installing the Plug-In

Installing the Plug-In

If, for any reason, you have not installed your Pocket Developer plug-in, follow these simple instructions, to learn how.

Configuring the HTTP Post Snippet

Configuring the HTTP Post Snippet

1. In the campaign sequence, add an HTTP Post snippet at the end of a sequence, where you want the delay to occur.

sequence

2. Open the HTTP Post snippet and configure as follows:

name_value_pairs

WarningNOTE: Everything in an HTTP POST is case sensitive. That includes the URL, the parameters on the left and the field names on the right. If caPitaLizaTion is wrong, your post will not work.

 

  • URL: http://yoursite.com/scripts/PocketDeveloper/Blocks/CustomDelay/customdelay.php
  • contactId => ~contact.Id~ (do not change)
  • callName => add a name that is unique to this Delay Snippet e.g., PDWakeUp23521
  • delayFor => number of seconds you want to delay

NOTES: Remember, Name/Value pairs are case-sensitive. If you put the same callName in multiple places, even in multiple campaigns, you could get unintended consequences!

3. Copy the name you created for callName and close the HTTP Post snippet. Custom Delay Timer POST snippets should always be the last thing in that sequence

Configuring the The API Goal

Configuring the API Goal

4. Drag out any Goal from the Toolbox. Give it a name, like Wake Up or Resume Sequence.

5. Double click the meta icon in the lower left corner of the goal. Change the Goal type to API Call Made (last one in the drop-down)

api_call

6. Configure the Goal as follows:

  • Integration => your Infusionsoft app name
  • Call Name => name you used and copied from the HTTP POST Snippet, e.g. PDWakeUp23521

config_api

7. Connect the Sequence containing the Delay Snippet (the one with the HTTP POST calling /customdelay.php) to the API Goal you just created.

8. Then connect the API Goal to a sequence containing whatever you want to happen after the delay. Continue your Campaign as normal.
