Send leads from your OverSkill app to ClickFunnels 2.0
Push leads captured in your OverSkill app into ClickFunnels 2.0 automatically via the ClickFunnels API — contacts, tags, and custom attributes feeding your funnels and workflows. Clarifies what your app does vs what you configure in ClickFunnels.
Send leads captured in your OverSkill app into ClickFunnels 2.0 automatically — so every signup, quiz completion, or opt-in in your app becomes a contact in your ClickFunnels workspace, ready for your funnels, email sequences, and workflows.
This is the reverse direction of our other guide (Connect ClickFunnels to your OverSkill app, which covers ClickFunnels purchases flowing into your app). You can use both at once.
Who does the work?
A common question, so let's be clear up front:
- Your OverSkill app does the sending. When a lead comes in, your app calls the ClickFunnels API and creates/updates the contact. The work happens in your app's code (which the AI writes for you).
- OverSkill does not log into or configure anything inside ClickFunnels. We never have access to your ClickFunnels account. The only thing you do in ClickFunnels is create an API token (Step 1) and build whatever follow-up automations you want (Step 4) — those are yours, inside your own workspace.
Think of it this way: your app delivers the lead to ClickFunnels' front door. What happens after the contact arrives (tags, email sequences, workflows) is configured by you in ClickFunnels.
How the connection works
Visitor submits a form / completes a quiz in your OverSkill app
↓
Your app calls the ClickFunnels API (instant, automatic)
↓
Contact is created or updated in your ClickFunnels workspace
↓
Your ClickFunnels workflows take over: tags, emails, funnels
Step 1 — Create a ClickFunnels API token
- In ClickFunnels 2.0, go to your Account Settings → Developer Portal / API (or Settings → API depending on your plan view) and create a new API token.
- Copy the token — you'll give it to your app in the next step.
- Also note your workspace subdomain — it's the first part of your ClickFunnels URL, e.g.
yourbusinessinyourbusiness.myclickfunnels.com, and your workspace ID (visible in the URL when you're inside your workspace).
ClickFunnels' API reference lives at developers.myclickfunnels.com if you ever want the details — but you won't need to read it; your app's AI handles that part.
Step 2 — Tell your app to send leads to ClickFunnels
Open your app in the OverSkill editor and describe what you want in plain language. For example:
Whenever someone submits the signup form, also create a contact in my ClickFunnels workspace using the ClickFunnels 2.0 API. My workspace subdomain is `yourbusiness` and I'll provide an API token — store it as a secret, never in the code. Send the contact's email, first name, and last name. If the contact already exists, update it instead of creating a duplicate.
The AI will build the integration and ask you for the API token — paste it when prompted (it's stored as an encrypted secret in your app, not in the code).
Useful add-ons to ask for:
Tag every contact sent from the app with 'overskill-lead' so I can target them in ClickFunnels workflows.
If the ClickFunnels API call fails, retry it and log the error so no lead is lost.
Also send which quiz result they got as a custom attribute on the contact.
Step 3 — Test it
- Submit a test lead in your app (use a real email you control).
- In ClickFunnels, open Contacts in your workspace — your test contact should appear within a few seconds, with any tags you configured.
- If it didn't arrive, ask your app's AI:
Show me the log for the last ClickFunnels API call
— it will show exactly what was sent and what ClickFunnels answered.
Step 4 — Build your follow-up inside ClickFunnels
This part happens in ClickFunnels, by you (it's your marketing logic):
- Create a workflow triggered by the tag your app applies (e.g.
overskill-lead) — send a welcome sequence, notify your team, enroll them in a funnel. - Use the custom attributes your app sends (quiz results, plan selected, etc.) to branch your workflows.
Your app keeps feeding contacts in; ClickFunnels runs the marketing.
Common questions
Does OverSkill set up my ClickFunnels workflows for me? No. Your app sends the contact data into ClickFunnels; workflows, funnels, and email sequences are built by you inside ClickFunnels. Our support team is happy to advise on what to ask your app to send so your workflows have what they need.
Can I send more than name and email? Yes — tags and custom attributes both work. Tell your app's AI what fields to include.
Will this create duplicate contacts?
Ask for create or update by email
behavior (as in the Step 2 example) — ClickFunnels' API supports upserting, so repeat leads update the existing contact.
Can I do both directions at once? Yes. Purchases in ClickFunnels can flow into your app (see the webhook guide) while leads in your app flow back into ClickFunnels. Together they make a full loop: market in ClickFunnels → fulfill in your app → feed leads back into ClickFunnels.
Troubleshooting
- Contact never appears: ask the AI to show the last API call's response — an authentication error means the token is wrong or expired; recreate it in ClickFunnels and update the secret.
Unauthorized
or feature-gate errors: make sure your app is calling your workspace subdomain URL (e.g.https://yourbusiness.myclickfunnels.com/api/v2/...) — not a generic API domain.- Leads arrive without tags: confirm the tag name in your app prompt matches exactly what your ClickFunnels workflow trigger expects.
