📮 Connecting Your Autoresponder

Connect your email tool once and every registrant from every webinar is added to your list. With Tag by behaviour, they are also tagged as they attend, miss it, see the offer, click it or watch the replay.

Where to find it:

AiX Webinars, Email, the Connect Your Autoresponder card.

The connections and what each needs:

  • ResultsAiX Mailer (this site): a List and an optional Tag. No key, because Mailer runs on the same site.
  • Mailchimp: API key, Audience ID and an optional Tag.
  • ActiveCampaign: API key, API URL, List ID and an optional Tag.
  • GetResponse: API key and Campaign (list) ID.
  • ConvertKit: API key (not the secret), Form ID and an optional Tag ID.
  • AWeber (Developer OAuth): Client ID, a one-time Authorization code and List ID. The full connection, with tags.
  • AWeber (Legacy): List name (unit) and an optional Web form ID. The quick way, with no app to make.
  • Sendy: API key, your Sendy installation URL, List ID and an optional Brand ID. Sendy has no tags, so use a list per behaviour instead.

Each card has a Connected or Not Connected badge, a Get details link and How To Connect In About A Minute.

Connecting one:

The Connect Your Autoresponder card with ResultsAiX Mailer and a connected Mailchimp card with Tag by behaviour ticked
Tick a connection, fill in its details and test it.
  1. Tick the connection.
  2. Fill in its fields.
  3. Click Save Integrations.
  4. Click Test connection on that card.

Tag by behaviour:

Tick Tag by behaviour on a connection, and people are tagged as they act: Attended, No show, Saw the offer, Clicked the offer and Watched the replay, plus Unsubscribed, Resubscribed and Cancelled. Tags are named after each webinar and created for you. AWeber (Legacy) and Sendy cannot tag.

Connecting AWeber with Developer OAuth:

  1. Create a free app in your AWeber developer account. Give it a name without the word AWeber, set the client type to Public, and set the redirect address to urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob exactly.
  2. Paste the Client ID and save.
  3. Click Get Auth Link, sign in to AWeber and copy the code it shows.
  4. Paste it into Authorization code, save, and click Test connection.

Connecting AWeber Legacy:

Open one of your AWeber web forms, choose to install it yourself, and copy the listname value, which looks like awlist followed by numbers. That is your List name. It sends subscribers from the registrant's own browser, can only add people, and cannot tag.

What is sent:

The email, the first name, the tag where the tool supports it, and custom fields with the session time, the webinar name, their join and replay links and their tracking tags. See Tags And Custom Fields Sent To Your Autoresponder.

A real example:

Maya ticks Mailchimp, pastes her API key, sets Audience ID a1b2c3d4e5, Tag garden-webinar, and ticks Tag by behaviour. After her Tuesday show, her Mailchimp audience has "Kitchen Garden Plan (evergreen deck) - Clicked the offer" on everyone who clicked.

Different lists per webinar:

Each webinar can use its own connections and send each audience to its own list. See Different Lists For Each Webinar And Behaviour.

If a connection seems quiet:

Save, click Test connection, and check that the list or audience ID is the one you are looking at. A connection that is off, or missing a required field, is skipped.

Where each detail lives in your tool:

  • Mailchimp: the API key is under your account's API keys, and the Audience ID is in the audience settings.
  • ActiveCampaign: the API URL and key are under Settings, Developer, and the List ID shows in the list's address.
  • GetResponse: the API key is under Integrations and API, and the Campaign ID is in the list settings.
  • ConvertKit: the API key is in your developer settings, and the Form ID is in the form's address.
  • Sendy: the API key is under Settings, and the List ID is under View all lists.

Each card's How To Connect In About A Minute gives the exact steps for that tool.

Using more than one tool:

Tick as many connections as you use. Every registrant is added to each enabled one.

Sendy in a little more detail:

  1. Paste your API key.
  2. Enter your Sendy installation URL, the address you log in at, with no slash at the end.
  3. Enter the List ID.
  4. Optional: add the Brand ID. Every list box then becomes a dropdown of your real lists.
  5. To put each person's links in your own Sendy emails, create custom fields on the list named rwb_join_url, rwb_replay_url and rwb_session_utc.

How behaviour tags help:

  • Clicked the offer: a short sequence answering questions about your offer
  • Saw the offer: a reminder of what they saw, with the link
  • No show: your replay sequence
  • Watched the replay: a sequence for replay viewers
  • Attended: a thank you and your next step

How keys are kept:

API keys are encrypted in your database and only shown masked. Leaving a masked field as it is keeps the saved key.

  • Tags And Custom Fields Sent To Your Autoresponder

Common questions:

Do I need WP Sync?

No. These connections are built in. WP Sync is an option for sending events to more places.

Are people added again if they sign up twice?

Your tool receives the same contact, so they are updated rather than duplicated in most tools.
