IMPORTANT UPDATE (April 3rd, 2023)
Ontraport is abandoning Sequences and advises using Automation. Our integration does require that a sequence exists in order to work properly, however, when you create an opt-in form, you must use Automation within Ontraport.
As long as you have a Sequence created, then you will be able to select an automation and tag to use with your Optin Form.
We will update this integration to not require a sequence in a future update.
In Ontraport, to create an automation, you'll simply login and navigate to "Contacts" and then "Automations"
Then click on the blue "New Automation" button to create an automation.
You'll now see the Ontraport Automation builder. Please refer to Ontraport Guides on how to create and use Automations.
You can now follow the rest of our guide below on setting up the integration. This guide will be updated when this integration is updated in a future update.
Follow the steps in this guide to create the integration and add contacts who subscribe on your opt-in forms into a sequence inside Ontraport using our API integration on OP3:
Step 1: You would need to log in to your Ontraport account.
Step 2: From the Ontraport Dashboard, click into Your Account in the top right to access the Administration section:

From your Ontraport Dashboard select >> Contacts >> Sequences and click on New Sequences:
IMPORTANT: Our system does not send contacts to "Smart Forms" or any forms created within Ontraport - it can only send contacts into a sequence of your choosing. This is because of how the Ontraport API works.
Step 8: Integrate your Opt-in Form with Ontraport.
Once you have all the above steps complete, you are ready to integrate one of your opt-in forms inside OptimizePress3 with Ontraport. To do this, simply drag an opt-in form to an Optimizepress3 page builder or edit an existing opt-in form.
You may now use this integration by adding an Opt-in Form element in the OptimizePress Builder.
