If you would like to create a Broadcast using one of your 3rd party integrations, this article will show you how. A Broadcast will allow you to set a one-off action that will be applied to your contacts on a given email list.
If you want to create a Broadcast using the ClickFunnels Internal app, please refer to this tutorial here. When using the Internal app, the action will be performed by ClickFunnels directly.
If you want to send a one-time email, instead, review this article here.
Prior to getting started, you will need to have the following:
- ClickFunnels Platinum
- At least one Third-Party Integration connected to your ClickFunnels account
- An email list created in your account
If you would like to trigger a one-time mass action for your contacts on an email list, so it is performed/applied by a 3rd party app, you can create a 3rd party app Broadcast.
Please note that the available actions will vary depending on the 3rd party integration you choose when creating the Broadcast.
For example, when using an autoresponder, you can:
- Add/delete contacts to/from a list
- Add/delete tags to/from your contacts
- Unsubscribe contacts
Other available actions:
- Registering to a webinar session
- Sending SMS & more
