The Information Laboratory: Automatic Mentor in Mautic

True wisdom begins with giving me lots of chocolate...

Want an Automatic Mentor in Mautic?

Want to be more productive? Studies have found that being accountable to others helps get stuff done. But the problem is finding someone you're comfortable with.

Imagine if there was a smart fella who could mentor you automatically - well, now there is!

Just follow the instructions below and you've got it. All the mentoring happens through your email - so there's no escape!

But wait - there's more!

here's also a free business in a box - pour in the facebook ads, traffic goes to blog to upgrade to TY sales page to welcome email sequence to sales page to payment page to course email sequence.

Note: NOT a membership site.
Note: Putting strip in got awfully complicated, so I put the second half of it here: Mautic and Stripe

Here's what you get

Checkout Page (working on)

Uses Stripe
has stripe in page
does cash bit
sends email with link to optin page with code in URL that allows to work

Optin Landing Page

has name, email, text box

1st email

has name, email, filled in box hidden in link

Goes back to optin landing page

auto fills in name, email, text box
auto shows text and stuff selected from array based on what in email link (later)
auto deletes from subscription, then re-subscribes, so can loop through.

Scope creep

change name field for carrying data to some other field
make long list of input fields and boxes above input fields
make course plan

make full course on 1 page but jump to particular day using inspiration from leadpages marketplace
each day has header, video from youtube, text, then questions with input boxes, hidden content for next email, link to printoff page that autofilled in (instead of pdf) - later as pocketmod?

first draft no video, no printoff page

make pretty using stupid.css from mdipierro

Make content

make content create-able on another page of input boxes - or easier is template of google docs with table in, download, then copy and paste back here
make page create-able on google spreadsheet and have embedded in here
inspiration for course: leadpages courses (but awfully complex), leadquiz course (simple 4 part), ramit finisher, eben shorter ones,

make sales page, initial optin.
Convert optin so integrates with stripe so can charge for it
webcopy - ramit stuff for optin, TY, sales, etc

Ultimate funnel

FB
blog post with sales copy to upgrade to WDB - optin
WDB 1 page template with sales copy to upgrade to AAM

within WDB - short then link to full sales copy
on TY page - full sales copy
in email sequence link to full sales copy
then optin page - with stripe so pay for it

First email
Course page

has all course episodes but all hidden
loops to email, then course then email etc

Thought tangents as doing this:

Webcopy

Michael hyatt home page quite formulaic - good
Structures for sales page beginning

This how is - or should be but isn't, this how actually is, where the problem arises eg diess, eg
If you like most (target market) you (compliments), but (problems arise) eg hyatt
Have you ever wondered how (expert) does X?
Use radio bullets to select opener option

This works:

1. Create landing page

Components -> Landing pages, +New (on right)
Blank, selected,
Title: Automatic Mentor, apply
Builder, text
The Amazing
AUTOMATIC MENTOR
that gets your stuff done
Here's a simple way to ensure you get the rewards for the work you've done...
Drag button onto screen (I want this!)
Center everything
Close builder
Apply
Save and close
Is here...
Automatic Mentor

2. Create emails

Channels -> Emails, +New, New Template email (ie autorespond email)
Theme: Blank
Subject: {contactfield=firstname}, this is your Automatic Mentor
Internal Name: Email from Automatic Mentor
Builder
click on big email that's been done on left, go down right bit to customize slot, click code button, edit the email to...

Why hello there {contactfield=firstname}
<br>
<br>It is indeed a pleasure to meet you.
<br>
<br>Here's your next link: <a href="https://robstestinglab.mautic.net/automatic-mentor?v={contactfield=firstname}" target="_blank">Go here...</a>
<br>
<br>{unsubscribe_text} | {webview_text}
exit builder, save and close

Caution: sometimes Mautic doesn't save it when it says it does, so best to go back and recheck to make sure is correct.

This gets the data into the URL of the webpage, now want to auto fill in boxes

Note: later use something other than first name for storing data.

Maximum can transmit thru URL is 3000chr

3. Create forms

Components->Forms, new form
New Campaign form -> Select:
Details...

Name: Automatic Mentor Form
Successful Submit Action - Redirect URL - https://www.google.co.nz
Kiosk mode no, render style yes

Fields...
Text

General: Label: Name, show label yes, save result yes
Contact field: Matching contact field: Core First Name
Validation required yes
Behavior: Show when value exists yes, autofill data no
add

General: Label: Email, show label yes, save result yes
Contact field: Matching contact field: Core Email
Validation required yes
add

Actions...

Add a submit action

Send email to user

Name: 1st email
Email to send: Welcome 01

Apply, save and close

4. Put form into webpage

Put the form into landing page
Components -> Forms, click Automatic Mentor Form
Form HTML (blue/green box on right)
Manual copy
Copy both boxes to a handy empty txt file
Go to Components->Landing Pages - > Automatic Mentor
Edit -> Code Mode (ok) -> Builder
Put the first box (the script stuff) into the head
Replace the <a ... </a> link that had the button with the second lot of stuff
close builder, save and close

5. Put script into webpage

this allows to pass data from URL (from email link) into input boxes

so components - landing page - automatic mentor - edit (code mode) - builder
paste this just before </body>

<script>
var query = window.location.search;
if (query.substring(0, 1) == '?') {query = query.substring(1);}
var data = query.split(/=|&/);
for (i = 0; (i < data.length); i++) {data[i] = unescape(data[i]);}
document.getElementById('mauticform_input_automaticmentorform_f_name').value = data[1];
</script>

close builder, save and close

6. Create the campaign

sets up so sends the email, and then deletes the subscriber so that can loop through campaign.
This is because Mautic won't repeat campaigns for subscribers.
The disadvantage of this is that you lose all data eg tags, subscriber lists, etc that have about subsciber except what in field.

Campaign -> +new
Name: Automatic Mentor Campaign
Campaign builder
Contact sources - Campaign forms - Campaign form: Automatic Mentor Form, add
Click on bottom bulb thing - Action, select - send email
Send email, name: Automatic Mentor email 01, at relative time period:5 minutes, email to send: Email from Automatic Mentor, transactional, add.
Click on bottom bulb thing of Contact Source again - Action, select - Delete contact
Close builder
Published - yes
apply, save and close

------------------------------------------------------------
Still to do
get stripe working

----------------------------------

CURRENTLY:

Get stripe working:
1. Create payment page

components - landing page - +new, title: Automatic Mentor Payment Page, save and close
is at: Automatic Mentor Payment Page
Edit, select blank theme, builder
click on text then go down and right to customize code to code bit </>
paste this:

<h1 style="text-align: center;">Automatic Mentor Payment Page</h1>
The Automatic Mentor is pretty darn good:
<ul>
<li>someone who holds you accountable</li>
<li>scientifically proven techniques</li>
<li>gives you consistency without effort</li>
</ul>
Here's where you can get it... <br> <br>
Enter your CC details and you'll get the first page immediately. <br> <br>
zzzzzz
(It's using Stripe as the payment mechanism so very safe - used all over the world by millions of companies, I like it because hopefully it's going to be simple to run)
<div data-empty="true"> <br> </div>

close builder, save and close

2. Stripe time...
I had done this some time ago in google docs, (ie 28 March 2017) for web2py, so just copying straight over here.

STRIPE

See

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/web2py/z6YBT1V_YKk

https://stripe.com/nz

Using stripe because…

-no setup fee

-no monthly/membership fee

-charges are only per transaction

-each transaction only costs 30 cents and then 2.9% of charge (as 26/03/2017)

-NZ based branch

-I like all this because no upfront costs, only charges after already making money.

-but don’t forget credit card charges and tax.

-can also rig so paid daily, weekly or monthly so doesn’t clutter up bank statements.

About this process:

-The first transaction takes 1 week and subsequent ones take only 2 days

-I’m being very detailed because I want to publish this process on my website later

So let’s start!

1. Create Account

-Click on the create account button on home page

-For me, I’m using the usual password (bum) but the first word is in capitals, and the special character is very last and is applicable to “the barefoot X”. I know this is obscure, but it needs to have upper case and lower case and special characters. This is to help me remember this if I return to this in 2 years or something, and if I publish this online I really don’t want any security issues.

-I’m finding this process quite interesting because I’m scared fartless about making a mistake. After all, this is where we start talking about actual money, and vulnerability and stuff. I notice physically every movement I’m making seems to be very slow!

-It then takes you to the dashboard…

And then…

The first one seems most relevant and is at https://stripe.com/docs/quickstart.

You’ll also need to confirm your email.

2. Settings

Head into profile and tick the email stuff

Go back then click on activate your account

-I’m not going to give you any details here except I used my robstestinglab pythonanywhere website and said I was using this for developing an app. I also used my google+ to verify.

-This is also where you enter your bank details.

-A little hint: You must also enter your bank account details like this 00-1234-1234567-00 - see the little minus signs? Not a big deal but good to know.

-Gosh, that bit was a little nerve racking. Bank details, you know. But here we are…

3. Make checkout page to accept payment

-We’re just going to embed stuff at this stage using their Checkout thingy.

-Unfortunately have to go checkout then registration, I don’t know if can automatically enter the registration details, so at this stage just re-enter.

-So going to bang the checkout in your web2py membership home page.

-note: later delete the link to the registration page because want it so can only get there if paid.

-Also we’re just going to have one-off payments at this stage, not remembering details or anything like that.

-Ooooh their test mode is pretty.

-so make sure you’re logged into the stripe.co.nz dashboard. https://dashboard.stripe.com/login

-go to https://stripe.com/docs/checkout/tutorial

-if you’re logged in, they generate the code for you! Woohoo!

-remember View e/b1 in your web2py app?

-Paste the code in there after the {{=display_page}}

<script

src="https://checkout.stripe.com/checkout.js"

class="stripe-button"

data-key="pk_test_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"

data-amount="999"

data-name="XXXXXXXXXXX"

data-description="Widget"

data-image="https://stripe.com/img/documentation/checkout/marketplace.png"

data-locale="auto"

data-currency="nzd">

</script>

</form>

-this has the test key on it under data-key. To find the live one, go to your dashboard, and on the left column is API. Click on there, re-confirm your password and you’ll see the keys. (I won’t show a screenshot for obvious security reasons).

-If you want your checkout cart live, in view e/b1 swap the test publishable key (pk_test_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) with your live one. At this stage we’ll leave it as is.

-Add data-zip-code="true" to the code above somewhere in the script thingy.

-to test it, use 424242424242 as CC number, a randomly made up email with @ and com, any nearby future date and 3 digit for

<script

src="https://checkout.stripe.com/checkout.js"

class="stripe-button"

data-key="pk_test_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"

data-amount="999"

data-name="XXXXXXXXXXX"

data-description="Widget"

data-image="https://stripe.com/img/documentation/checkout/marketplace.png"

data-locale="auto"

data-zip-code="true"

data-currency="nzd">

</script>

</form>

-and also enable block if zip code verification fails under Radar. This helps reduce fraud.

My server side code: Use pay cos is the function under controller made later and also as a view as e/pay.

Note delete this box later when make this public, but works well for now.

<script

src="https://checkout.stripe.com/checkout.js"

class="stripe-button"

data-key="pk_test_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"

data-amount="999"

data-name="robstestinglab.pythonanywhere"

data-description="Widget"

data-image="https://stripe.com/img/documentation/checkout/marketplace.png"

data-locale="auto"

data-zip-code="true"

data-currency="nzd">

</script>

</form>

3. Make Checkout Page to Accept Payment

Put Code into Muatic Landing Page
OK, now going to put into mautic instead of web2py...
This replaces from step 3 above.

so make sure you’re logged into the stripe.co.nz dashboard.

https://dashboard.stripe.com/login

go to https://stripe.com/docs/checkout/tutorial
if you’re logged in, they generate the code for you! Woohoo!

<form action="/your-server-side-code" method="POST">
  <script
    src="https://checkout.stripe.com/checkout.js" class="stripe-button"
    data-key="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
    data-amount="999"
    data-name="robstestinglab.pythonanywhere"
    data-description="Widget"
    data-image="https://stripe.com/img/documentation/checkout/marketplace.png"
    data-locale="auto"
    data-currency="nzd">
  </script>
</form>

OK, just paste that into the landing page code, ie replace the zzzzzz
ie

<html><head>
<title>{pagetitle}</title>
<meta name="description" content="{pagemetadescription}" />
</head>
<body class="ui-sortable"><div data-section-wrapper="1"><center><table data-section="1" style="width: 600;" width="600" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td><div data-slot-container="1" style="min-height: 30px"><div data-slot="text">
<h1 style="text-align: center;">Automatic Mentor Payment Page</h1>
The Automatic Mentor is pretty darn good:
<ul>
<li>someone who holds you accountable</li>
<li>scientifically proven techniques</li>
<li>gives you consistency without effort</li>
</ul>
Here's where you can get it...
<br /><br />
Enter your CC details and you'll get the first page immediately.
<br /><br />
<form action="/your-server-side-code" method="POST">
<script
src="https://checkout.stripe.com/checkout.js" class="stripe-button" data-key="pk_test_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" data-amount="999" data-name="robstestinglab.pythonanywhere" data-description="Widget" data-image="https://stripe.com/img/documentation/checkout/marketplace.png" data-locale="auto" data-currency="nzd" />
</script>
</form>
<br /><br />
(It's using Stripe as the payment mechanism so very safe - used all over the world by millions of companies, I like it because hopefully it's going to be simple to run)
<div data-empty="true"><br /></div>
</div></div></td></tr></tbody></table></center></div></body>
</html>

}
var data = query.split(/=|&/);
for (i = 0; (i < data.length); i++) {
