Three Methods to Use AccessAlly with GoHighLevel
Now that you understand the strengths of each platform, let’s explore the three best ways to make them work together.
Method 1: Link from an AccessAlly Order Form to a GoHighLevel Form
This is the simplest way to connect the two platforms. It’s a two-step process that’s perfect for new customers.
Step 1: The Purchase. A new customer purchases your course through an AccessAlly order form on your website.
Step 2: The Redirect. After the purchase is complete, you redirect the customer to a GoHighLevel form to sign up for your email list, a webinar, or a special offer.
This method is easy to set up and ensures your new customers are added to your GoHighLevel marketing campaigns immediately after purchase.
Method 2: Embed a GoHighLevel Form on Your AccessAlly Site
If you want to collect more information from your existing members, you can embed a GoHighLevel form directly on a page on your AccessAlly site. This is a great way to:
- Gather testimonials
- Sign members up for a new coaching program
- Collect feedback on your courses
Because the form is embedded on your site, it creates a seamless experience for your members. They don’t have to leave your site to give you the information you need.
Method 3: Use the AccessAlly Zapier Integration
For more advanced automation, you can use Zapier to connect AccessAlly and GoHighLevel. This method allows you to send data from AccessAlly to GoHighLevel automatically.
Here’s how it works:
- Set up a Zap. Create a new Zap in Zapier that connects AccessAlly to a Zapier Table.
- Collect Data. When a new user signs up or a purchase is made in AccessAlly, the data is sent to the Zapier Table.
- Import to GoHighLevel. You can then download the data from the Zapier Table as a CSV file and import it into GoHighLevel.
This method is perfect for collecting data in bulk and gives you more control over how you manage your contacts.
Planning Your Workflow
Before you start implementing these methods, take some time to map out your student journey. Think about:
- What happens when a new student joins your course?
- How will you communicate with them?
- What information do you need to collect?
By planning your workflow in advance, you can create a clear and consistent experience for your students and save yourself a lot of time and effort in the long run.
Best Practices for Using Both Platforms
- Keep your data clean. Regularly review your contacts in both platforms to make sure they are up-to-date.
- Be consistent with your branding. Use the same logos, colors, and messaging on both platforms to create a cohesive brand experience.
- Test everything. Before you launch, go through the entire process yourself to make sure everything is working as it should.
Common Questions and Challenges
- Can I automate enrollment between the platforms? No, not directly. You’ll need to use one of the three methods described above.
- How do I handle payments? We recommend using AccessAlly to process payments, as it’s designed for selling courses and memberships.
- What about student progress? ProgressAlly™ is the best tool for tracking student progress within your AccessAlly site. While you can’t sync this data directly with GoHighLevel, you can use Zapier to send completion data to GoHighLevel for marketing purposes.
While there’s no direct integration between GoHighLevel and AccessAlly, you can still use these two powerful platforms together to create an amazing online course business. By choosing the right method for your needs and planning your workflow carefully, you can leverage the best of both worlds and provide a seamless experience for your students.
