This guide provides a basic integration of Bubble.io and ConvertKit, where a new subscriber's data is sent to a ConvertKit form. Depending on your use-case, you may need to add more API calls and actions.
Scenario: An online education platform is launching a new course. They are using Bubble.io to design a web-page for promoting the course where potential students can register to learn more about it or sign up for the course. The platform wants to automatically add and segment these leads in ConvertKit for further email marketing and nurturing.
Solution: Integrating Bubble.io with ConvertKit
Web-page Creation: The education platform uses Bubble.io to design a web-page which includes a registration form asking for the email address, name and interested course from the students.
Setting Up the Integration: The platform installs the ConvertKit plugin in Bubble.io and configures it with their ConvertKit API key. They then create workflows in Bubble.io that are triggered when a student submits the form on the web-page.
Data Sync Workflow: When a student submits the form, the created workflow is activated. The submitted data (name, email, course interest) is automatically sent to ConvertKit through the configured ConvertKit plugin action. A new subscriber or lead is created in ConvertKit with the sent information. This lead is tagged or sorted into a specific form or sequence based on the course they've shown interest in.
Email Marketing in ConvertKit: The education platform uses ConvertKit to set up automated email sequences, courses, and tasks for the captured leads. They can segment the leads based on their chosen course and engagement, customising the emails to keep the interested students engaged and encourage them to sign up for the full course.
Monitoring and Analysis: The Bubble.io and ConvertKit integration allows for faultless tracking of lead sources and interactions within ConvertKit. The education platform can observe the effectiveness of their web-page and email sequences, making data-driven decisions to fine-tune their approach.
Benefits:
By merging Bubble.io with ConvertKit, the online education platform can efficiently manage leads for their new course, ensuring personal follow-up, and eventually resulting in better outcomes.
