I have several clients that use free (discovery) calls as a way to get clients. I also have a client who gives free workshops for the same purpose. For the calls I use an Amelia service, for the workshops I use Amelia events.
When a potential customer books a free call or workshop, a funnel should be started in ActiveCampaign. With a paid product this is easy; tags added to the connected WooCommerce product are sent to ActiveCampaign and they start a specific automation.
With free products this is not possible. The only option is to use Zapier, but the Zapier triggers fire for ALL services/events. You cannot specify a specific zap for a specific Amelia service/event.
The best option would be to connect a free specific WooCommerce product to a service or event, that does trigger the tags to ActiveCampaign but that does not bother the potential client to go through checkout.Â
Second best would be to be able to create specific zaps for specific services or events. Technically this might be an easier solution? I call it second best because you need an extra third party service.
If you need the same functionality please respond here đ
I'm afraid since the whole pandemic situation affected us as well, and we fall behind our roadmap, we had to give priority to the most requested features that have been queued for a long time.
That probably can be achieved with custom work. However, our developers are very busy at the moment, so they won't be having the time for custom work in the near future.
But we can recommend these services for customization:

I already asked after this a few times in the past 2 years, but no luck. At some point I sent a feature request, but I don't see that yet on https://wpamelia.cnflx.io/boards/feature-requests

Hi, Debbie,
Sorry for the delayed response, we don't work on weekends.
And thank you for choosing Amelia.
I will forward your "selective zaps" request to our development team. It's the only thing I can do at the moment, unfortunately.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Best Regards.Â
Any news on the front? This keeps coming up as a serious impediment.
