On the Email screen, under Connect Your Autoresponder, switch on the tools you use and enter your details. When somebody registers for any webinar on the site, they are added to each enabled list automatically. Nothing else is needed for these connections.
The built in connections and what each needs:
- ResultsAiX Mailer (this site): a list, and an optional tag. There is no API key because Mailer runs on the same site. It appears only when Mailer is installed, and its list box is a dropdown of your real lists.
- Mailchimp: an API key, your Audience ID, and an optional tag
- ActiveCampaign: your API URL, an API key, a List ID, and an optional tag
- GetResponse: an API key and your Campaign, that is list, ID
- ConvertKit, now called Kit: an API key, not the API secret, a Form ID, and an optional Tag ID
- AWeber (Developer OAuth): a Client ID, a one time authorization code and your list ID. This is the full connection and the only AWeber option that can tag by behaviour.
- AWeber (Legacy): your list name and, if your form needs it, the web form ID. This is the quick method with no app to create.
Each card has a Get details link and a walkthrough headed How To Connect In About A Minute, with the exact menu path and the mistake people usually make.
Connecting AWeber with Developer OAuth:
- Create a free app on AWeber's Create A New App page. Give it any name that does not contain the word AWeber, set the Client Type to Public, and set the OAuth Redirect URL to urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob copied exactly. Leave the webhook settings empty.
- Paste the Client ID into the Client ID field and save.
- Press Get Auth Link, which opens in a new tab. Authorize on AWeber and copy the code it shows you.
- Paste the code into Authorization code, save, then press Test connection.
Connecting AWeber (Legacy):
Open one of your AWeber web forms, click Publish and then I Will Install My Form, and copy the listname value from the snippet, which looks like awlist followed by numbers. That is your list name. The web form ID is not required, so leave it blank unless your form needs it. Legacy can only send subscribers, and it sends them from the registrant's own browser, which is the only way AWeber accepts them reliably. It cannot read your lists back and cannot tag by behaviour.
Testing a connection:
Each connection has its own Test connection button. Save your settings first, then click Test. Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, GetResponse, ConvertKit and AWeber (Developer OAuth) are tested against the live account and report whether your details were accepted. AWeber (Legacy) can only confirm that the list details are saved, so register a test seat to prove the lead lands.
What is sent:
The email address and first name, the optional tag where that provider supports one, and a set of custom fields carrying the session time, the webinar name and the tracking tags the person arrived with. See Tags And Custom Fields Sent To Your Autoresponder.
Tag by behaviour:
Tick Tag by behaviour on a connection and people are tagged as they act, not only when they register: Attended, No show, Saw the offer, Clicked the offer and Watched the replay, plus Unsubscribed, Resubscribed and Cancelled. Tags are named after the webinar and created for you, so every webinar segments on its own and you can mail the people who reached for their wallet separately from the people who never turned up. AWeber (Legacy) is the one exception, because its web form cannot tag after the fact.
Different lists for different webinars:
By default every webinar feeds the connections you set up here. Each webinar can instead use its own connections and its own lists, one per behaviour. See Different Lists For Each Webinar And Behaviour.
How your keys are stored:
API keys are encrypted in your database and the settings screen only ever shows a masked version. Leaving a masked field untouched keeps the saved key, so you never need to retype it.
If a connection goes quiet:
Save your settings, click Test connection, and check that the list, audience, campaign or form ID matches the list you are actually watching. A connection that is switched off, or missing a required field, is simply skipped.
