A/B test variations of your Unbounce forms to see which converts more contacts. This automation makes it easy to determine which form performs better based on a set goal, like purchases, page visits, or other tracked events.
When a contact submits your Unbounce form, Unbounce tags them based on which variant they submitted. Use this automation to track which form leads to more conversions. You can use goal reporting to see whether more contacts with tag Variant A or tag Variant B met the goal step in the automation.
This A/B testing strategy lets you figure out which form converts better, then only show that form to your contacts in the future.
Before importing this automation, make sure you have your Unbounce integration set up and your form variants integrated with your ActiveCampaign account.
Here's how the "Unbounce: Test Form Variants" automation recipe works:
1. The automation is triggered when a contact submits a variant of your Unbounce form and is assigned the corresponding tag in ActiveCampaign. Make sure you adjust this trigger to the tag provided by your specific Unbounce form.
2. An If/Else condition checks if your Unbounce form tagged your contact with Variant A. If you're testing out more than two variants, create more If/Else actions and messages.
3. If the contact has the Variant A tag, the automation waits 3 months. Adjust these wait step to what makes sense for your business's typical sales cycle. This wait step could also be how long you want the testing phase to be before you determine which form wins.
4. A goal step checks to see if any contact in the Variant A pathway meets a condition at any time during the automation. Set 2 conditions for this goal step: Whatever you are using to measure the success of your form variants, and the specific tag assigned to the first form variant. For example, you can set this goal condition to "Has Tag Variant A" and "Has Made a Purchase" to track conversions of contacts who filled out the first form variant.
5. If the contact does not have the Variant A tag, we can assume they have the Variant B tag. In the Variant B pathway, the automation waits 3 months. Adjust these wait step to what makes sense for your business's typical sales cycle or how long you want the testing phase to be.
6. A goal step checks to see if any contact in the Variant B pathway meets a condition at any time during the automation. Set 2 conditions for this goal step: Whatever you are using to measure the success of your form variants, and the specific tag assigned to the second form variant. For example, you can set this goal condition to "Has Tag Variant B" and "Has Made a Purchase" to track conversions of contacts who received the second form variant.
7. The automation ends.
