InboxGeek integrates with Ontraport to help you turn existing website traffic into new contacts and send email when subscribers are actually in their inbox. You keep using Ontraport for your groups, tags and automations. InboxGeek adds two services on top: LiveLeads and LiveOpens. Nothing moves out of your account, and there’s no new email platform to learn.
LiveLeads for Ontraport: turn anonymous visitors into contacts
Forms only catch the 2 to 3% of visitors who decide to fill them out. Everyone else browses, leaves and is gone, even though you paid to bring them in.
LiveLeads closes that gap. You add one lightweight script to your site header, and it matches visitors who never touch a form against a compliant identity graph, then validates each email address before passing it to you. According to InboxGeek, LiveLeads identifies 20 to 40% of anonymous US website traffic.
For Ontraport users, the payoff is what happens next:
- Leads flow into Ontraport. Source Automations send captured leads to your connected platform, so new contacts can go straight into the automations you already run.
- You decide who gets sent. Use time on site, actions like add-to-cart or checkout, and email validation status as filters, and route each group to its own sequence.
- No paying for people you already have. Suppression lists remove existing contacts, and you can suppress visitors who buy within 15 minutes of landing.
- Your follow-up gets more personal. Each lead comes with the page URL and date of the visit, so your welcome series can match what they were browsing.
LiveOpens for Ontraport: send when subscribers are in their inbox
Plenty of subscribers marked “inactive” are still reading. Your email just arrived when they weren’t looking and sank under newer messages. LiveOpens solves that timing problem.
InboxGeek syncs with the Ontraport group you choose. When a subscriber is active in their inbox, InboxGeek adds a tag to that contact. An Ontraport automation with the “When Contact is added to Tag” trigger then sends your email, so it lands at the top of the inbox while they’re looking. InboxGeek estimates it knows when 40 to 60% of your subscribers are actively engaged in their inbox.
- Your setup stays the same. You keep your groups, tags and automations in Ontraport. LiveOpens just triggers the send.
- Cold subscribers get another real chance. Emails that arrive while people are reading give you a better shot at re-engaging them.
- Volume stays in your hands. Start with a daily event limit (InboxGeek suggests 200 per day) and choose how often one subscriber can trigger another event.
- You don’t get duplicates. Pick more than one group, and InboxGeek filters out duplicate contacts so no one gets several events.
Better together
Together, the two services cover both ends: LiveLeads brings new contacts into Ontraport, and LiveOpens makes sure their first emails arrive when they’re back in their inbox.
Groups and tag triggers in Ontraport
Ontraport is an all-in-one CRM and marketing automation platform for small businesses. InboxGeek works with Ontraport groups rather than lists. Before connecting, add a condition to your group that excludes contacts whose bulk email status is “transactional only” or “hard bounced”, since Ontraport won’t email them anyway. When a subscriber is active, InboxGeek adds a tag. An automation with the “When Contact is added to Tag” trigger, set to “Any Contact in account” and “Add here again when triggered”, sends the email. Those settings keep the automation working after list recycles.
