This guide walks you through connecting Interact with Ontraport so quiz leads are automatically added as new contacts in your Ontraport account.

You’ll be able to:

  • Send quiz leads to Ontraport in real time

  • Map quiz results and answers to Ontraport actions and custom fields

  • Use quiz data for segmentation and automation


Before you start

Make sure you have the following:

  • An active Interact account

  • An active Ontraport account

  • Access to Ontraport API credentials

  • At least one created quiz in Interact

💡 Note: This feature is only available in the latest Interact user dashboard at app.tryinteract.com. Log in there to access it.


Step 1. Get your Ontraport API key

  1. Log in to your Ontraport account.

  2. Click your profile icon (top-right).

  3. Select Administration.

  4. In the left sidebar, click Integrations.

  5. Click Ontraport API Instructions and Key Manager.

  6. Click New API Key.

    • If you see an API Application form, complete and submit it. You may need to wait for approval before you can generate keys.

  7. After you create the key, copy your App ID and API Key (you’ll use both in Interact).

⚠️ Keep your API key secure. Anyone with access to these credentials can make changes in your Ontraport account.


Step 2. Connect Ontraport integration

  1. Log in to Interact.

  2. From your dashboard, go to Quizzes.

  3. Click Edit to open quiz builder.

  4. Go to Lead Generation > Integrations.

  5. Find Ontraport and click Connect.

  6. Paste your Ontraport App ID.

  7. Paste your Ontraport API Key.

  8. Click Connect API.

You’ll see a confirmation once the connection is successful.


Step 3. Map quiz results to Ontraport

When someone completes your quiz, Interact can take different actions in Ontraport based on the quiz result they receive.

  1. In the integration setup flow, go to the Results step.

  2. You’ll see each quiz result listed separately.

For each quiz result, you can choose what happens in Ontraport by adding actions.

Available actions for Ontraport include:

  • Add to Sequence

  • Update Custom Field

  • Add Tag to Contact

Add to Sequence

When someone completes your quiz, Interact can add them to an Ontraport Sequence.

  1. Click Add actions.

  2. Find Add to Sequence.

  3. Select the Ontraport Sequence from the dropdown you want quiz leads added to.

Update Custom Field

You can store the quiz result directly on the Ontraport contact record.

  1. Click Add actions.

  2. Find Update Custom Field.

  3. Select an Ontraport Custom Field.

  4. The value defaults to the quiz result title, but can be customized if necessary.

Add Tag to Contact

You can apply a Tag to a contact based on the quiz result they receive.

  1. Click Add actions.

  2. Find Add tag to contact.

  3. Select the Ontraport Tag you want applied for that result.


Step 4. Map quiz answers to Ontraport (optional)

In addition to quiz results, you can also send individual quiz answers to Ontraport and use them for segmentation and automation.

This works the same way as mapping quiz results, but instead of triggering actions based on the final result, actions are triggered based on how someone answers a specific question.

💡 Tip: Quiz answers are great for capturing preferences, intent, or qualifiers (for example: budget, experience level, or goals).


Step 5. Map opt‑in form fields to Ontraport

Next, connect your Interact opt‑in form fields to Ontraport contact fields.

  1. Go to the Fields step in the setup flow.

  2. You’ll see Interact fields on the left and Ontraport contact field mappings on the right.

  3. Click the dropdown on the right of the form field you want to map (None Selected means it is not mapped).

  4. Select the matching Ontraport field.

❗ Important: If you have required fields in Ontraport, make sure those Interact fields are mapped before you send a test lead.


Step 6. Send a test lead

Before your integration is fully active, you’ll need to send a test lead.

This step verifies the connection between Interact and Ontraport and activates the integration.

  1. Click Send test lead.

  2. Fill out all Opt-In Form fields to send as test lead information.

  3. (Optional) Navigate to Quiz Data tab to customize test quiz data.

  4. Click Send test lead to submit.

  5. Log in to Ontraport and verify the contact was created successfully.


Step 7. Publish your quiz

Any changes you make to your integration won’t be live until your quiz is published.

Before sharing your quiz:

  1. Click Publish in the top-right corner of the quiz editor.

  2. Confirm your changes by clicking Publish changes.

Once published, your Ontraport integration will be active on the live version of your quiz.

⚠️ Remember: After making changes to your integration or opt-in form, publish all changes to update your live quiz.


Disable Ontraport integration for your quiz

If you want to stop sending leads from a specific quiz to Ontraport, you can disable the integration without disconnecting your Ontraport account.

  1. Edit the quiz in Interact.

  2. Go to Lead Generation > Integrations.

  3. Navigate to Connect step.

  4. Click Disable.

⚠️ Remember: After making changes to your integration or opt-in form, publish all changes to update your live quiz.

Once disabled, new quiz submissions from this quiz will no longer be sent to Ontraport. Your Ontraport account remains connected and other quizzes are unaffected.

❗ Important: After disconnecting an integration from your quiz, your opt-in form will remain disabled until a new or existing integration is connected. Select .csv File Download to keep your opt-in form enabled with no integration connected.


Disconnect your Ontraport account

Disconnecting your Ontraport account removes the authentication between Interact and Ontraport entirely. This is similar to uninstalling the integration.

  1. Log in to your Interact dashboard.

  2. Go to Integrations.

  3. Find Ontraport.

  4. Click Disconnect.

❗ Important: After disconnecting your Ontraport integration, the following effects occur:

  • All Ontraport integrations across all quizzes will stop working.

  • No new quiz leads will be sent to Ontraport.

  • Existing contacts in Ontraport are not removed.

If you reconnect Ontraport later, you’ll need to reconfigure the integration for each quiz.
