AWeber

Update/add AWeber subscribers with their unique share link and referrer information.

The AWeber integration is only available to users on a GrowSurf paid plan.

Sync with your AWeber List

Step 1: In Campaign Editor > 4. Options > Integrations, click the Connect to AWeber button.

IMPORTANT: Because the GrowSurf data sync to AWeber only occurs after you have connected with the integration, it is imperative to connect with the integration BEFORE importing participants. Click here to see remedy options if you have already imported participants into your campaign but would like to sync their GrowSurf data to AWeber.

Step 2: Log in to AWeber

Step 3: Once connected, select an AWeber account and then select an AWeber list that you want to automatically sync to. GrowSurf will add/update your AWeber subscribers every time a new participant is added or referred to your referral campaign.

Custom Fields

GrowSurf will automatically create these new subscriber fields for your AWeber lists.

AWeber has a max limit on the number of custom fields that are allowed per subscriber/list. You can add up to 25 custom fields per list.

Please note that deleting a custom field will also delete any data already stored in that field for all of the subscribers on your list.

AWeber does not allow custom fields with the word "name" or "email". Because of this restriction, GrowSurf has shortened "name" to "n" and "email" to "e" within various custom fields. See the list below for more details.

*GrowSurf Referral Status can be the following: CREDIT_PENDING (This participant must still trigger a referral for their referrer to receive referral credit), CREDIT_AWARDED (This participant triggered a referral and their referrer received referral credit), CREDIT_EXPIRED (This participant did not trigger the referral credit within the referral credit expiration window so their referrer did not receive referral credit).

You can use these new subscriber fields in your AWeber email templates. Whether you launch a new marketing campaign or have an automated drip campaign going on, make sure to always include {{ subscriber.custom_field['growsurf_share_url'] }} in your emails to provoke your subscribers to make referrals!​

Troubleshooting Tips

  • If the new participant isn't being added to AWeber, or if they are being added but their unique referral link isn't being synced to AWeber:

    • Activity logs will denote if a participant was added to AWeber or if they failed to be added. (In the case of failure, GrowSurf will re-attempt to add them for 7 days).
