When you create a campaign in OptinMonster that you intend to collect leads with you’ll want to integrate with one or more services to send those leads to.

To send leads to iPost, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the Integrations tab in the campaign builder.
2. Click Add New Integration.
   
3. Search for and select iPost from the dropdown field.

   1. In your iPost account, click on the <| icon in the top right corner to open the side menu.
   2. Select the Settings Gear icon, then click Client.

   Lead Options
   We can work with iPost Data Tables. We will pass the following fields email, firstname, lastname, phone, ipaddress, source. They must be formatted exactly as shown here, and they must all exist in the table. If all of the fields are not present or formatted correctly (no spaces, all lowercase) the API request will fail, and no lead data will be added. The source field will always be OptinMonster.
   Lead Journeys
   Journey Automations (entitled “Lead Journeys” in the Builder) allow iPost users to create workflows to be triggered when a lead is added. Please contact iPost for any assistance in setting up your triggers.
9. When you’re finished, Save the campaign.

FAQs

I’ve connected my integration and new leads are being added to my list, but OptinMonster shows 0 conversions for my campaign. Why?

Confirm that conversion tracking is turned on for the submit button in your campaign. See our guide on How to Enable Conversion Tracking.

Is it possible for me to add a Phone Field to my campaign?

Yes! You can add a phone field. Check out How to Capture Phone Numbers with OptinMonster here.

What if I want to add other fields to my form?

You can do this using our Custom HTML integration, rather than our native iPost integration shown above. When creating your iPost form to add to the Custom HTML integration, you’ll want to be sure to switch the button type to HTML in iPost.

This will ensure your button contains all of the necessary HTML needed for your form to work as expected.
