*Important Note: You’ll see a green border and a plug icon on the 3rd party applications that have already been connected to your account. If you want to use an app that hasn’t been connected to your account yet, click on the desired app. Doing so will prompt you to proceed with adding it to ClickFunnels.


You can see which actions are available for your integration(s) on the Add New Broadcast page by hovering over the integration you wish to use. You will see this on the top right corner of your screen.
