Installing the Plug-In

[wc_accordion_section title=”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.

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

NOTE: 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.
[/wc_box]

• 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

[wc_accordion_section title=”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)

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

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.
