As of November 2018, the Thinkific "Pro" plans or above are required for Interact to communicate to Thinkific servers. "Free" and "Basic" plans on Thinkific do not have this ability.

Note: You'll need a quiz to follow these steps.

Steps for this integration:

  1. Find your Thinkific API Credentials

  2. Connect Thinkific to your Interact app

  3. Map Interact Triggers to Thinkific Actions

  4. Map Form Fields to Thinkific Custom Sign Up Fields

Find your Thinkific API Credentials:

Step 1: Login to your Thinkific account and navigate to Advanced Settings in the left sidebar.

Step 2: Click on the API section found at the bottom of the page to expand the menu.

Step 3: In this section, you will find your Thinkific API Key and Subdomain. These are required for the next setup steps.

Connect Thinkific to your Interact App

Step 1: In the Interact app builder left sidebar, under Connect your email list, choose Thinkific from the list of integrations. Note: You must set-up your opt-in form before you can continue to your integration selection.

Step 2: Copy and paste your Thinkific API Key and Subdomain and click Connect API.

Map Interact Triggers to Thinkific Actions:

Step 1: In the following steps you will have the chance to map a set of Thinkific actions to individual Interact triggers. A trigger can be, for example, when a quiz taker receives a specific quiz result or answers a specific quiz answer. To open the selection of Thinkific actions to select, click on the Add Actions button:

Step 2: In the slideout menu, you will see a list of available actions to run in Thinkific. The available actions are:

  • Update Custom Sign Up Field: Choose an Thinkific custom sign up field from the dropdown to update the custom sign up field for new contacts with a specific value. The value will auto-populate with the trigger name, but you can customize this with any value you want. Example: For a quiz result trigger, you could choose the Thinkific custom sign up field "Quiz Result Title" from the dropdown and populate the field with the quiz result title for your quiz.

Step 3: Once finished with one trigger, you can select a different trigger from the left sidebar. When you have set all triggers that you need for your specific setup, be sure to click Save & Continue.

Update Send Welcome Email Settings

Step 1: You will have the option to send Site Welcome Email to newly created users. By default Thinkific disables these emails, but you can turn it on by checking the box shown below.

Map Form Fields to Thinkific Contact Fields

Step 1: Here you will find an overview of the way your opt-in form fields are connected to Thinkific contact fields. Default fields (cannot be changed): Email, First Name, Last Name

Step 2: For all other fields, choose one custom sign up field from the dropdown that you would like to populate with the form value. Example: mapping Company Name to "Custom Field 1" will populate the value inputted for Company Name into the Thinkific custom sign up field "Custom Field 1".

Step 3: When finished with mapping your form fields, be sure to click Save & Continue. If you find you need to make changes, you may edit the integration settings at any time. 

IMPORTANT: If your quiz is already published and embedded, any changes made to the integrations will require you to publish your quiz after changes have been saved.
