Aweber Integration:

Create a New List

This section walks you through creating a new list on AWeber.  If you already have a list, you can skip this section.

• [AWeber] From the home page, click “Create and Manage Lists”
• [AWeber] Click “Create a New List” on the right-hand side
• [AWeber] Fill in “List Name”, “From Name”, and “Address”.  The List Name has to be unique across all of AWeber.  This will be used when you set up the integration within Kajabi.

Configuring the List

This section describes the “Confirmed Opt-in” setting at Aweber, as well as creating a custom field which is required by Kajabi.

• [AWeber] By default, AWeber sets up lists with a Confirmed Opt-in Status of “On”.  This means that only recipients who have specifically requested to be on the list are subscribed. This means you have proof someone opted-in, fewer unsubscribe requests and far fewer spam complaints.  The trade-off is a lower opt-in rate as fewer people will wait for and click on the confirmation email. Leave it “On” to use confirmed opt-in, or change it to “Off” if you want people to optin without the extra confirmation step.
• [AWeber] Hover your mouse over “My Lists” in the top navigation and choose “Custom Fields” from the dropdown menu. In the “Custom Field Name” box, type “kjbfe” and click “Save”.  This sets up a custom field in AWeber to store which funnel event each optin came from.

Configuring your Followup Messages

If you want the people who opt-in to immediately receive a followup message, you’ll need to configure your followup message(s).  If you just want to collect names on a list without an immediate followup message, you can skip this step.

• [AWeber] Click “Messages” in the top menu
• [AWeber] Click “Add New Follow Up Message”
• [AWeber] Type a Subject and then your message.  After you save you will see a list of your Follow Up messages.  You’ll notice that the message you just created has a “Mesg” of “1”.  This will be used when you set up the integration within Kajabi.

Configuring Kajabi for AWeber Integration

• [KAJABI] In your “Funnel Settings” screen, enter the List Name you created in Aweber in the “Mailing List Name” box
• [KAJABI] On the same screen, enter the message number for the followup message you created in Aweber in the “Message Number” box.
• [KAJABI] Indicate whether or not your AWeber account is set for Confirmed Opt-in.  Check the box if Confirmed Opt-in is “On” in your AWeber account.
• [KAJABI] If you chose to use Confirmed Opt-in, you’ll have to pick a thank you page.  This is the page that the user will see immediately after they submit the optin form.  It should be a page which directs them to confirm their optin by checking their email and clicking the confirmation link in the email.  You can choose to use a default AWeber thank you page or provide a URL to a custom page that you created and host elsewhere.  

Do you have Confirmed Opt-in Set?

If you have your AWeber list in “Confirmed Opt-in” mode, you’ll need to tell AWeber which URL to return the user to after they click the confirmation link in their email.

• [AWeber] You will also have to set the “Success Page” if you chose to use Confirmed Opt-in.  This is the URL that the user will be redirected to after they click the confirmation link in the email from AWeber.  This URL is a special URL generated by Kajabi and is found on the AWeber Integration Information screen, which you can get to from the screen where you view your funnel.  Make sure you check the box which says “Pass subscriber info” to tell AWeber to pass the needed information back to Kajabi.
