How to create a Zap and connect Clickfunnels to Zapier

1. Log into your Zapier account and open the Zap Editor. This is where you’ll create new Zaps and edit existing Zaps.
   
   
2. Click Create > New Zap.
   
   
   
   
   
   
3. You’ll see a box prompting you to select a Trigger. Click on Trigger to open the app module. For the App, search for and select Clickfunnels.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   Note: In the following images, you’ll see the 3 steps at the top (Setup, Configure, and Test) marked with a checkmark, indicating completion. However, if this is your first time creating a Zap for Clickfunnels, these steps will only be checked off as you complete them one by one.
4. Next in the Setup step, you’ll set a trigger. Under the Trigger event, choose Contact Identified. This will trigger the zap to run whenever a new contact is created within Clickfunnels.
   
   
   
   
   
   
5. For the final part of the Setup step, connect your Clickfunnels account to Zapier by selecting it under Account. Once connected, click Continue at the bottom to proceed.
   
   
   
   
   
   
6. In the Configure step, select the funnel or page you wish to collect contact information from. Review your settings, then click Continue to proceed.
   
   
   
   
   
   
7. You’ll now be in the Test step. Click Test trigger to verify that Clickfunnels is connected to Zapier and that the trigger event is set up correctly. A sample contact will be identified and presented to you.
   
   
   
   
   
   
8. When you’re done testing your trigger, click Continue with selected record to proceed. You’ll be taken back to the Zap Editor, where you’ll see the Action block to continue creating your workflow.

How to connect your Zap to beehiiv

9. Next, you’ll connect beehiiv to your Zap. Click on the Action block to open the app selection module. Search for and select beehiiv.
   
   
   
   
   
   
10. You’ll be prompted to select an Action event, choose Create a Subscriber. This will create a subscriber based on the contact added to the Zap in the previous steps.
    
    
    
    
    
    
11. Under Account, you’ll need to connect your beehiiv account to Zapier. After establishing the connection, click Continue to proceed to the Configuration step.
    
    
    
    
    
    
12. If you have multiple publications on beehiiv, select the publication you wish to add subscribers to under Publication. Under Email select the Clickfunnels Email option. Make sure that False is selected under Reactivate existing?.
    
    
    
    
    
    You can also configure your Double Opt In settings in Zapier. If you don't set it in Zapier, your beehiiv publication settings will apply as usual. If you enable Double Opt In in Zapier, it will override your beehiiv settings for subscribers coming through the Zap.
    
    
    Pro Tip: If you have Double Opt In set to ON in Zapier, but toggled OFF in beehiiv, for a smoother experience, consider turning on Smart Nudge in beehiiv as well. This ensures subscribers receive a reminder to confirm their subscription.
13. Review your selections and then click Continue to move to the Test step.
    
    
14. At the bottom, click Test step to ensure the trigger is correctly sending information to beehiiv via the Zap. When everything is working as expected, click Publish to activate the Zap.
