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 Ontraport, follow these steps:

5. Optional: You can also assign Follow-Up Sequences if any are available for the Tag you’ve selected in the previous step.

Testing

We strongly recommend you test the optin form before publishing your campaign to ensure it is working as you expect.

Before you begin, please be aware of the following details when testing Ontraport integrations:

• Previously submitted or already subscribed leads may be treated differently by Ontraport than new leads. For this reason, we recommend using a completely unique email address each time you test submit your campaign’s form. You can use a free tool like TempMail.io or learn how to create unlimited unique email addresses from a single Gmail account.
• If the lead is captured in Ontraport but you do not receive any automated emails it indicates the integration from OptinMonster to Ontraport is correct, and the issue is with the automated email configuration. Ontraport controls email automation exclusively. If you require assistance in troubleshooting email automations we recommend reaching out to Ontraport support directly.

Get started testing with the Live Site Inspector tool explained in our guide on how to test an OptinMonster campaign.
