How To Add Infusionsoft Contact ID to Excel File

Imagine you have data from somewhere other than Infusionsoft that you want to add to existing Infusionsoft contact records. To do that, you use Infusionsoft’s Data Cleanup function. Then ‘Modify Existing Records’.

The challenge is, to update a record, Infusionsoft requires the Contact Id. And because this is data from somewhere other than Infusionsoft, you don’t have Contact ID. So you need to add it as a column to your third party data file.

How do you do that?

Ninja Hack: Before/After Date In Decision Diamond

In a recent post to the IS Beginner Facebook Group, someone asked how to put a contact in a sequence based on when they were signing up. In other words, Joanne wanted the contact to go in one sequence if it was before a certain date and time and a different sequence if it was after that date and time.

The scenario was this: The campaign was registering people for a teleseminar. If they registered before the teleseminar had begun, they got a sequence with a number of emails, including reminders. If they registered shortly before or even after the teleseminar … ..

I had heard this mantra before, in the halls of Infusionsoft. Jordan Hatch wrote a blog post recently called, “How To Get 1920 Minutes Of Your Life Back“, that gave some of the back story.

Jordan says:

The first thing you need to do is think about your day and make a list of the stuff you do more than 3 times – and the approximate number of times you do them per day, and how long it takes you to do it. […]

Creating A Template From A Broadcast

Have you ever created an email in the Infusionsoft email broadcast tool, sent it and then needed to send it again?

Well, that just happened to me the other day. I sent an email to all the new students in my Campaign Builder course, as an email broadcast. Then, a few hours later, we had one straggler sign up so I needed to send that same email to her. But I hadn’t saved it as a template.
