Data We Will Push to Zapier
BookFunnel will send new subscriber data to Zapier.
This means that an email signup page that requires opt-in will send readers to Zapier. An email signup page with optional opt-in will only send readers to Zapier if they consented to join your mailing list.
This data is sent to Zapier when a new subscriber signs up through one of your BookFunnel email sign up pages:
- event: new_subscriber
- first_name (if your email signup page requires it)
- last_name (if your email signup page requires it)
- ip_address – The IP address of the reader at the moment they subscribed
- country_code
- country_name
- page_id – This is the ID of the email signup page the reader subscribed through on BookFunnel
- download_code – This is the unique BookFunnel App code generated for this subscriber
- download_link – This is the unique download link generated for this subscriber
These pages will not send reader data to Zapier:
- Non opt-in email signup pages
- Optional opt-in email signup pages (when a reader does not consent)
- Restricted landing pages
- Simple download pages
Retrieve your BookFunnel Zap Key
