Map Interact Triggers to Ontraport Actions:

Step 1: In the following steps you will have the chance to map a set of Ontraport 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 Ontraport 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 Ontraport. The available actions are:

  • Add to Sequence: Choose an Ontraport contact list from the dropdown to add new contacts to a specific Ontraport contact list. Example: For a quiz result trigger, you could connect different results to different contact lists to send autoresponders specific to the quiz result your customers received.

  • Update Custom Field: Choose an Ontraport custom field from the dropdown to update the contact 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 Ontraport custom field "Quiz Result Title" from the dropdown and populate the field with the quiz result title for your quiz.

  • Add Tag to Contact: Choose either to add a tag to the contact with a default value or with a custom value that you provide by selecting from the dropdown.

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.

Map Form Fields to Ontraport Contact Fields

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

Step 2: For all other fields, choose one custom 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 Ontraport custom 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.ย 

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.
