Creating a seamless sales funnel is key to converting visitors into leads. An opt-in step is essential for capturing customer information and growing your list.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to add an opt-in step to your sales funnel using SellKit.

Step 5: Configure Your Opt-in Step

2. Here you can customize your opt-in step. For instance, to edit the design, click on Edit with Elementor or Edit with Block Editor according to your preference.

Step 6: Design the Opt-in Form

2. Select the Opt-in widget from the left sidebar in Elementor and drag it into the page.
3. Customize the opt-in form fields, buttons, and overall design to match your brand and the funnel's purpose.

Step 7: Integrating with a CRM

CRM integration allows you to sync the data collected through the opt-in form with your customer relationship management system. This streamlines the process of managing leads and customer interactions.

1. In the Elementor editor, select the Opt-In widget you have placed in your form.
2. Click on the Content tab.

4. You’ll see a field labeled CRM Integrations. Click on the + button to add a new integration.
5. A list of available CRMs will appear, such as Growmatik, ActiveCampaign, ConvertKit, Drip, GetResponse, MailChimp, MailerLite, and WebHook.

Configuring After Submit Actions

After a visitor submits the form, you can decide what happens next. You can choose to provide them with a file, redirect them to another page, or simply display a success message.

1. While still in the Opt-In widget settings, find the After Submit Actions section.

2. To provide a file for download after submission, select Download a File and upload the file that will be automatically downloaded once the form is submitted.

   If you prefer to redirect the user to another page, such as a thank you page or another step in your funnel, select Redirect to.

   Choose between Next Funnel Step or Custom URL based on where you want to direct your users post-submission.

   • Next Funnel Step will automatically take them to the next configured step in your SellKit funnel.
   • Custom URL allows you to specify any URL where the user should be redirected. It could be a specific landing page, a download page, or any other URL.
3. After configuring these settings, click the Update button to save your changes.
