InboxGeek integrates with INBOX so you can grow your list from website traffic you already have and reach subscribers at the moment they are active in their inbox. You keep using INBOX for your lists, tags and workflows. InboxGeek adds two services on top: LiveLeads and LiveOpens. There’s no migration and no new email platform to learn.
LiveLeads for INBOX: turn anonymous visitors into contacts
Most people who visit your site never fill out a form. Forms usually catch only the 2 to 3% of visitors who choose to fill them out, so the traffic you paid for leaves without a trace.
LiveLeads changes that with one lightweight script in your site header. It identifies visitors who never touch a form, matches them against a compliant identity graph, and validates each email address before it reaches you. InboxGeek reports that LiveLeads identifies 20 to 40% of anonymous US website traffic.
For INBOX users, the payoff is what happens next:
- Leads flow into INBOX. Source Automations send captured leads to your connected platform, so new contacts can go straight into the automations you already run.
- You choose which leads to send. Filter by time spent on site, by actions such as adding to cart or reaching checkout, and by email validation status. Route different visitors into different sequences.
- You don’t pay twice. Suppression lists filter out contacts you already have. You can also suppress visitors who buy within 15 minutes of arriving.
- 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 INBOX: send when subscribers are in their inbox
A lot of “inactive” subscribers aren’t really gone. Your email simply reached them at the wrong moment and got buried. LiveOpens fixes the timing.
InboxGeek syncs with the INBOX list you choose. When a subscriber is active in their inbox, InboxGeek adds a tag to that contact. An INBOX workflow with the “When a tag is added” 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 lists, tags and workflows in INBOX. LiveOpens just triggers the send.
- Your engagement goes up. Reaching people while they’re reading helps you re-engage subscribers you had written off.
- You control the volume. Set a daily event limit (InboxGeek recommends 200 events per day to start) and decide how often the same subscriber can trigger an event again.
- You don’t get duplicates. Pick more than one list, and InboxGeek filters out duplicate contacts so no one gets several events.
Better together
Use both services and you cover the whole journey. LiveLeads turns anonymous visitors into new contacts in INBOX. LiveOpens then times their first emails for the moment they return to their inbox.
A short setup for INBOX
INBOX describes itself as an email marketing platform with a drag-and-drop editor, automation and A/B testing. Its InboxGeek setup is one of the shortest. You log in to INBOX through InboxGeek, so there’s no API key to copy. Next, create a tag in INBOX and enter its name in the integration. An INBOX workflow built on the “When a tag is added or removed” trigger, set to When added and pointed at the same contact list, then sends your message. LiveLeads complements it by adding new contacts from your website traffic.
