Frequently asked questions

Ceven monitors your payment processor or CRM for a purchase event. Once a sale is confirmed, the agent calls the Deadline Funnel delete lead action to remove them from the funnel immediately. This ensures the user stops receiving urgency emails and that your analytics stay clean. You can configure this as a real time workflow where the payment trigger leads directly to the removal action, meaning the user is cleared from the deadline sequence within seconds of their transaction completing.
Yes. Use the update lead action to push the expiration date forward. You can build a workflow where a sales rep tags a lead in the CRM as extension granted, which then triggers Ceven to update the date in Deadline Funnel. This allows you to provide personalized grace periods for high value clients without manually logging into the Deadline Funnel dashboard and searching for individual email addresses.
Yes, Ceven can manage a lead across multiple funnels. Since the agent interacts with the API, it can call the create lead action for different funnel IDs simultaneously. This is useful if you have a lead in a general nurture funnel with a long term deadline and a specific flash sale funnel with a short term deadline. The agent tracks the status of each independently and can trigger different CRM updates depending on which deadline expires first.
Deadline Funnel enforces strict lead limits based on your subscription tier. If the API returns a limit exceeded error, Ceven will pause the workflow and send a notification to your admin. To avoid this, you can set up a cleanup workflow where Ceven automatically deletes leads from old or completed funnels every thirty days, freeing up capacity for new leads without requiring a plan upgrade.
Ceven does not send the emails itself but acts as the orchestrator. It monitors the lead status in Deadline Funnel and then tells your email tool, like ActiveCampaign or Mailchimp, to send a specific message. For example, when a lead is twenty four hours from expiration, Ceven can add a tag to the lead in your email tool which triggers a pre built urgency sequence in that platform.
The delay is negligible. Once the lead is pushed via the API, Deadline Funnel calculates the expiration date based on your funnel settings instantly. Ceven triggers this call the moment the opt in event is captured from your landing page or form. Because it happens at the API level, the personalized timer is ready the first time the user lands on your expiration page.
Ceven only transmits the minimum data required by the Deadline Funnel API, typically just the email address and the funnel ID. We do not store the personalized deadline dates in our own long term database; we pull them in real time from Deadline Funnel whenever a workflow needs to check a status. All data in transit is encrypted, and access is governed by the API key permissions you have configured in your account.
Yes. You can create two separate funnels in Deadline Funnel with different durations. In Ceven, you can build a workflow that randomly assigns leads to either funnel A or funnel B. The agent then tracks the conversion rates for each group by mirroring the lead ID and funnel ID back to your CRM, allowing you to see exactly which deadline duration drives more sales.
