Voluum Importer for FunnelFlux (6)

Voluum Importer for FunnelFlux

A lot of people have been asking about transitioning from Voluum and streamlining that process.

To assist with this we have developed a Voluum importer to complement the basic lander/offer exporter we already have for Thrive/Voluum.

So, how do these work?



Exporting landers/offers

For this, you can use our exporter available here.

Use this to export to CSV, which you can then import in FunnelFlux using the bulk CSV import tool:





Importing Voluum Campaigns

Once you are inside FunnelFlux you can access the Voluum importer from the settings menu:





From here, you can input you Voluum login details to fetch campaigns to import. You can then select the ones to import.





At the moment our import process is in beta -- we try to replicate the basic paths you have for campaigns but do not replicate the conditions/rules, so that you can save time in initial creation and modify/update as desired.

We plan to improve this importer in the future when we add advanced conditional nodes but we wanted to give a basic importer now, improvements later.

So, right now a campaign with six rules to different lander/offer combos would import like this:





The area boxed in red is where we would eventually put an advanced condition node to provide the same flow as in Voluum.

Note that you can already achieve this by putting a PHP node there and using some basic PHP code, though we know that's outside the technical desires of most users.

That's why right now we are also working on a user interface for generating complex condition code, so you visually create rules then just copy/paste some code into a node > bam it does what you want.

Eventually we'll internalise that, but I'm a fan of giving customers a pragmatic workaround before a polished solution is available.


There's a few reasons why we wanted only a basic importer at this stage:



Let us know if you have any questions or problems with the importer.

Nice, moving over campaigns is one of the main reasons why affiliates don't want to switch ... so this is a great tool for you guys for sure!

Here's idea for that: having a "Landers Rotator" and "Offers Rotator" widget block would help clean up a lot of the visual clutter that comes with making simple flows like this, and make things a bit easier to manage when it comes to adjusting weights and pausing/resuming.

Eg 3 columns stacked with a pause/resume button, lander/offer name, and % rotation.

^ Yes fully agree with this suggestion.

The visual funnel builder is great and one of the things that makes FF so powerful, but improvements are always good:
- doing a mass test of offers / landers is pretty slow and cumbersome having to literally "connect the dots" one by one
- screenshots like the above look beautiful but try doing that once on a smaller laptop screen and you get stuck pretty quickly
- have a look at scapple: infinite expendable canvas in multiple directions with ability to multi-select and drag around many nodes at once

Very happy for Funnelflux and STM members that are wanting to explore Voluum alternatives!
