Account Setup:

1. Click Integrations.
2. Click the Action button and select + Add Integration.
3. Select SendFox.
4. In a separate browser, log in to your SendFox account.
5. Click the three lines at the top right hand corner of your screen.
6. Select Settings.
7. Select API from the left navigation bar.
8. Click Create New Token and give your connection a name.
9. Copy the entire Personal Access Token. It’s quite long so make sure all of it saves to your clipboard.
10. Return to your BookFunnel Integration page and paste the Personal Access Token into the Personal Access Key field.
11. Click Integrate SendFox. This will take you back to the BookFunnel dashboard, where SendFox will now be located on your integrations list.

Selecting a List:

Now that your account is integrated, you’ll need to tell us which list you’d like us to deliver your email addresses. You must have at least one list set up in SendFox that you will connect to.

1. Once SendFox is integrated, you can scroll down on your Integration dashboard and review your existing email signup pages.
2. Click the orange gear icon next to your email signup page.
3. Select Edit Page Details.
4. Click the Integration List drop down menu and select the SendFox list you want this page to send the reader email addresses.
5. Click Save and Close to save the new page settings.

Note: Any email address collected before you selected your SendFox list and clicked Save will need to be exported from BookFunnel and manually imported to SendFox (see below for instructions). All new subscriber email addresses collected after you clicked Save will be added automatically.

Use SendFox Without Direct Integration

If direct mailing list integration isn’t for you, how else can you deliver your book to your SendFox readers using BookFunnel? Using one of these two options:

The first option is to create a simple download page and then send it to your subscribers through SendFox.

The second option is to create an email signup page on BookFunnel and then import the emails from BookFunnel into your SendFox account every day or two.

You Collect the Email Address, We Deliver the Book

Once you upload your book and create a simple download page on BookFunnel, you can then email its BookFunnel link to your readers through SendFox. The basic steps are:

1. Create a simple download page on BookFunnel and copy its Link For Readers.
2. Paste the link into your automated welcome email on SendFox
3. Create a sign-up form on SendFox and link to it or embed it on your author website.
4. Drive reader traffic to your sign-up form so that they can subscribe.
5. Once they have joined your list, SendFox will send them the “welcome” email that contains the BookFunnel link.
6. Your new subscribers can click the BookFunnel download link and download the book.

Pros: Available on all BookFunnel plans (including the First-Time Author plan!), simple to set up, uses your own landing page and/or website

Cons: Your BookFunnel download link can be shared online with other readers that did not sign up for your list, BookFunnel can’t track who downloads your book

We Collect Their Email Address, You Import the CSV

Available On: Mid-List, Bestseller, & Publisher Plans

Use an email signup page on BookFunnel and it will act as your landing page and delivery page, all in one! You can design a beautiful, custom landing page on BookFunnel in minutes. No web expertise necessary.

You drive reader traffic to your email signup page on BookFunnel and we will collect their email address on your behalf. We store their email address (and optionally first and last name) in a CSV on your dashboard.

You can then import the CSV of subscribers into SendFox at your convenience. Follow these steps:

1. Create an email signup page on BookFunnel that requires (or invites) readers to join your mailing list
2. Drive reader traffic to your BookFunnel signup page
3. Export the CSV of reader email addresses every day or two from BookFunnel and manually import it to SendFox

Pros: Saves time by eliminating the extra step of building a landing page on your own website, if your link is shared online, those extra subscribers can be added to your mailing list

Cons: You need to export the CSV of reader email addresses we collect on your behalf and import it to SendFox regularly.

How to Export a CSV and Import it to SendFox Manually

If your BookFunnel landing page is not sending readers to SendFox automatically, you’ll need to export the reader email addresses from BookFunnel. Once you have exported the CSV, you will import it to SendFox manually.

To export the CSV from BookFunnel:

1. Click Landing Pages on your BookFunnel dashboard
2. Click the name of the landing page
3. Click Export CSV
4. Select Export New Subscribers (do not click this more than once, large CSVs may take a minute or two to be generated and available for download!)
5. This will save the CSV to your computer, likely in your Downloads folder

Next, you will import the CSV to SendFox:

1. Once you’ve logged into your SendFox account, Click Audience on the top menu bar.
2. Toggle from Lists to Contacts at the top of your contact list.
3. Click the Import Contacts button.
4. Click the Upload from File button.
5. A file browser will appear. You can drag and drop the file or navigate to the file you wish to import and click it to select it.
6. Your file will process and you will be redirected to the import screen. Map the columns in your file to fields in your account by clicking the dropdown for each field, making sure that each field matches.
7. Select Continue.
8. Select a list for your contacts or create a new list.
9. Click Continue & Import Contacts.

The length of time it takes to import contacts will depend on the size of the CSV file. Most files will be imported in less than 10 minutes.
