What is Connected Sites?

Connected Sites connects your site to a number of E-goi's powerful digital marketing features, including Track & Engage, pop-up forms, WhatsApp forms, on-site messaging and web push notifications.

Getting Started

Tracking code

Before you begin, be sure you have access to your site's source code, as you'll need to embed our tracking code. You should also know beforehand which E-goi channels and tools you'll be adding and enabling in your site.
 

Step-by-step

Connecting to your site

1) Go your user menu in the upper right corner and choose Settings.

2) Click Connected Sites on the left-hand panel. If your site has already been added to Connected Sites, you should see it here. Otherwise, hit Add.

3) Enter your site's URL and choose which contact list it'll be assigned to. Click Add when you're done.

4) Copy the tracking code we provide and paste it in the footer of your website. You only need to do this once.

Enabling and disabling channels

Once Connected Sites and your site are talking with each other, you can manage which channels will be available.

• To Enable a channel in your site, choose which channel to display and click the + button.
• To Edit it, click the arrow button next to it.
• To Disable a channel, click the x button next to it.

Frequently asked questions

How can I enable a channel on a specific page of my site only?

For Pop-up Form and On-site Messaging channels, you can set this by heading over to the channel's Options, choosing the When browsing a specific URL trigger and typing in the URL for your specific page. For the Embedded Form channel, add the form's shortcode to the exact location of the page's source-code where you want the form to show up.

How can I check that a channel has been enabled?

Just browse your site. Keep in mind that changes may take a few minutes to become visible. If you still don't see any changes, try clearing your browser cache or browsing via incognito session.
