Ontraport lets you do more than just manage your contacts, it boosts your sales and creates better experience for your customers.
It’s a powerful platform that helps you run your business online. It sends your email marketing automatically, collect payments from purchases, send your digital products when payment is confirmed, manage and your affiliates, start your own premium membership site and much more!
How it works
Collect contact information with Smartforms and Ontraforms to build your list
Smartforms are forms you can design and build from scratch and embed on your webpage to collect leads for your business, subscribe to your newsletter or sell products with order forms.
Not a designer? Use Ontraforms – a built in template designer that lets you create beautiful and responsive web forms
Choose from other ready to use designs
Information collected is stored in one database. Create groups as email lists. The data in Ontraport is highly searchable making it very easy to find names, emails, messages and forms a client may have filled out.
Each contact has a log of what got sent, which sequences subscribed to, purchases, and more
If a client requires a call from a human or some mail, you can have Ontraport send you a TASK. This has been very handy for us when clients join our high level program SilverCircle. The TASK email reminds us to send something in the physical post.
Delegate tasks and leads to the right people automatically. Identify your good leads and which actions get more interest.
Create your Sales Funnel with Sequences and tags
What should happen next once you collect the contact information? Want to send a newsletter email? A followup? A scheduled email for an upcoming event?
One Ontraport feature we love is the ability to tag a client with a specific interest. We can then add that client to a dedicated email sequence delivering exactly what our client needs, when they need it. We are creating relevant and useful experiences for clients. Moving away from a ‘list’ based system in the past to an email based database using tags changed everything for us. The power to custom segment and treat each client as an individual is immense.
Ontraport can also make a recommendation to a client who has one product but not another via an automated sequence. There is little point offering a product to someone if they don’t need it or if they already have it. Ontraport can tell this once you allocate the right tags and sequences.
Set them up once and Ontraport runs the sequence automatically.
Create sophisticated campaigns by using rules to deliver specific actions when triggered such as visiting a specific website, clicking on a link, purchasing a certain product, subscribing and much more.
you can even send a printed postcard.
Collect payments
Create order forms to sell your products , send invoices, shipping options and tax collection.
You can even send reminders to collect payment when credit cards are about to expire
Set followups on customers who visited your checkout page but have not taken action yet.
Automate upsells
Run an affiliate program for your product
Manage and pay your affiliates within the system for the products you sell.

Features to love
Automation Log
This feature helps you track the path of your contacts through your automated builds. It makes it easy to identify which sequence you need to make changes to when a contact ended up on a different tag or sequence than the one you intended it to.
What does the log show you?
- When new contact was created and where it came from – smartform or typed in manually
- When a Contact Field was last updated, how it was changed and the previous info before the entry
- How a contact was added to or removed from a Sequence and how it happened
- How a Tag was added to or removed from a contact
How to access the Automation log?
When you access one of your contacts, you will find the Contact Record under Contact History.
Will this replace the Contact Log feature?
No, the Automation log is an additional feature aside from the contact log
What makes this different from the Contact Log?
The Contact Log reveals events that happened for a given contact (such as when they filled out a smartform,got sent an email, or clicked on the link inside the email etc.)
Your stats in one dashboard
See an overview of your metrics. You can change the layout to keep the ones that matter to your business.
