Getting Started with WJ/EW Tricks

Welcome – Read me first:
Before using any tricks that are built for the WebinarJam/EverWebinar system, you need to do two easy steps. The first hopefully you already did, which is to go to the My Account page and change the temporary password you were assigned when you account was created. (If you haven’t yet, you can do it while doing the other preliminary step specific here.

Setting up FunnelMerlin for WebinarJam or EverWebinar:
You will need to have a WebinarJam or EverWebinar Webinar session created and ready to go (See WebinarJam/EverWebinar on how to set up a Webinar or EverWebinar Session)

Once a session is set up you will need to get your unique WebinarJam/EverWebinar API Key

 

Setting up FunnelMerlin for WebinarJam or EverWebinar:

Once a session is set up you will need to get your unique WebinarJam/EverWebinar API Key


Go to My Webinars inside WebinarJam/EverWebinar (1), The click on the gear icon (2)

 


You will then see this popup. Click inside the icon for API custom integrations (3). Next you will need to copy your API key (4). Note due to updates with our new editor, there is no Step 5 here.

 


With you API Key Copied you will then click inside FunnelMerlin members area on Account (6) then click on My Account (7)

 

You will be taken to My Account page. The second section lets you manage your API keys. Click on the Add New button (8)

Then in the input section (9) choose WebinarJam as the system for API Key (note, even if you only use EverWebinar, the system priver is WebinarJam). For the Name, you can enter a name for your key in case you were to use more than one API Key. Paste in your API Key in the Key field.  Once your API Key is pasted into the form then click Add (10). Now your code in the Funnelmerlin areas will have your API key automatically added.

 

Prerequisites

You must then set up the PopUp to have a form in it that collects Name, Email, a Select Box that is set for Custom values, and is required that will be auto populated with the next time/date. Optionally you can add an SMS Signup block input to collect their phone contact information. Lastly, you need a submit button. To track signups within ClickFunnels as well, you need to set the button to Submit the form. Once you have these set up, you will need to obtain the CSS ID for each of the inputs, including the submit button. Note, for the SMS input section, you have a single ID for the entire section, NOT each individual input. (it will be something like #sms-00000 or #tmp-sms-00000). After you have the registration page all set up, on the thank you page if you want to diplay the link to the live webinar page URL that WebinarJam gives you, you need to also add some code and set some values if you want customized details shown to the user. Set up a text area (making note of its CSS ID for in the code below) and use the following place holders for data from the registration. With the free version you only have access to the Live URL placeholder, however the advanced builder gives you more items you can use, including code for buttons to add to Celendars and setting up reminders wth ManyChat to send via Facebook Messenger.
~LIVE_URL~  will contain the URL for the live webinar

Code to Add

To get the code that you will add, first be sure you have already added your WebinarJam API key to your My Account page as described above, and then head over to our new Code Builder for this trick. After everything is entered, it will give you the code that you will add in your funnel step under Settings -> Tracking Code -> Footer.

​Special Notes

In order for the thank you page to correctly show the information from signed up Webinar, the signup page and the thank you page MUST be on the same domain name. Note that some of the “Preview” links in the editor will show the Signup form on a different domain, thus will not pass the data. Enjoy!
Enjoy!
