You can integrate your Retention.com account directly with SendFox.An integration between Retention.com and SendFox does three things:
Automatically sends contacts acquired in your Retention.com account to SendFox into a list of your choosing.
Automatically suppresses existing contacts in your SendFox account.
Ability to set up custom filters to sync filters (ie, send leads from different domains to different lists or ESPs).
What you'll need
1. Your Access Token. To find that, click the bars in the top right of your SendFox account. Then, click Settings. On the next screen, click API from the menu on the left.
2. Click Create New Token.
3. Give the Token a name, and click Create.
4. Your Access Token will appear in the box (blurred below). Copy the text shown. This is the only time it will be shown.
5. We also recommend you create the list(s) you want to use with Retention.com before integrating. Be sure not to include "Retention.com" in the list name.
To get started
1. Click on Integrations from the left navigation panel in Retention.com. Then, click Available Integrations at the top and choose the SendFox icon.
2. Paste your Access Token, and click Connect.
3. Set up your Contact Suppression. Once you enable automatic suppression, Retention.com will sync your regular, opt-in list from your ESP and add it to your Retention.com suppression list. This prevents you from paying for contacts you already have. Once you’ve enabled this option, the sync will run daily at 6 p.m. EST.Choose either YES or NO to suppress contacts. If you choose to automatically suppress your contacts (YES), pick either daily contact suppression (recommended) or one-time suppression.
Daily contact suppression: This action will load all of your contacts from SendFox into your Retention.com suppression list and will automatically import new contacts every day into your suppression list.One time suppression: This action will only run once and load your current SendFox contacts into your Retention.com suppression list.
When you're finished, click Next.4. Then, decide if you want to upload your collected contacts by choosing either Yes/No. If you choose to sync your contacts, you will then need to choose a list to sync them to. Pick a list from the drop-down menu. Then, choose whether you want to enable custom sync options.
If you check the box to enable custom sync options, that will display five options: filter by email domain, full or portion of a landing page URL, landing page domain, state, and referrer URL.
This feature allows you to filter your Retention.com contacts before you send them to your ESP. For example, you can send all contacts who hit different landing pages to separate lists. Or, send all of your California leads to one ESP and Texas leads to another.
Email domain: This field auto-fills/populates with email domains (ex. Gmail, Yahoo Mail, AOL, etc.) from your collected contacts.Full or portion of a landing page URL: If you’ve put the script on several pages or the entire site, this field allows you to pull out contacts who have only hit Landing Page A or Landing Page B. This option does not auto-populate, so you will have to add in the exact URL.Landing page domain: If you added script to both Retention.com and Robly.com, for example, the landing page domain would be either Retention.com or Robly.com. This field will auto-populate.State: This filter allows you to pull out only contacts from one or more states.Referrer URL: This is the URL the contact comes to your site from.
When you're finished, click Next.5. Choose whether or not you want to enable the SendFox integration now. Once you enable the integration, your suppression and collection sync settings will apply and begin. Then, click Finish.
6. Once the integration is complete, you will see the integration date, API details, contact suppression, and the option to set/change the list it's synced to. You can also Remove the integration from this page at the top.
