FunnelKit Platform Help
Step 1 — Gather context
If references/learnings.md exists, read it first for accumulated platform knowledge.
-
What are you trying to do?
- A) Add/update/segment contacts (tags, lists, fields, status) via the Automations REST API
- B) Wire incoming/outgoing webhooks (receive external events → automation; or send data out)
- C) Build the funnel — checkout, order bumps, one-click upsells/downsells, A/B testing, sliding cart
- D) Recover abandoned carts / run email-SMS automations (FunnelKit Automations)
- E) Read funnel revenue/orders programmatically (via WooCommerce)
- F) Decide Funnel Builder vs Automations vs a bundle, or Free vs Pro -
Which side? Contacts/email/SMS/automation → FunnelKit Automations (REST API + webhooks). Checkout/upsells → Funnel Builder (WooCommerce orders).
Skip-ahead rule: if the user's prompt already provides enough context, skip to Step 2.
Step 2 — Route or answer directly
| If the question is about... | Route to... |
|---|---|
| Funnel / CRO strategy across tools (which builder, funnel design) | /sales-funnel {question} |
| Checkout/cart conversion strategy across platforms | /sales-checkout {question} |
| Connecting FunnelKit to a CRM/ESP generically (iPaaS) | /sales-integration {question} |
| Email/SMS sequence strategy beyond FunnelKit Automations | /sales-email-marketing {question} |
When routing, give the exact command, e.g. "This is a strategy question — run: /sales-funnel design a post-purchase upsell flow".
Step 3 — FunnelKit platform reference
Read references/platform-guide.md for the full reference — the two-product model (Funnel Builder vs Automations), what's REST-API vs WooCommerce vs UI-only, best-effort pricing/bundles, the contact data model, and quick-start recipes (add+segment a contact; receive an incoming webhook; read orders via WooCommerce).
Read references/funnelkit-api-reference.md for the integration surface — FunnelKit Automations REST API (base /wp-json/funnelkit-automations/, ?api_key= query-param auth from Settings → REST API; Tags/Lists/Fields/Contacts CRUD, offset pagination, {code,data,limit,offset} responses), incoming + outgoing webhooks, and WooCommerce order hooks/REST for funnel revenue.
Answer using only the relevant section. Don't dump the full reference.
Step 4 — Actionable guidance
Focus on the user's specific situation:
- Two products, two surfaces. Automations (CRM/email/SMS) has the REST API + webhooks; the Funnel Builder (checkout/upsells) rides on WooCommerce — read its revenue via the WooCommerce REST API, not a FunnelKit endpoint.
- The API key is a query param. Auth is
?api_key=...(from Automations Settings → REST API) — not a header. Keep URLs out of logs/referrers and call server-side. - Contacts are tag/list-driven. Create with
POST /contact/add, thentag-assign/list-assignto segment — automations trigger off tags/lists/status. Status issubscribed|bounced|unsubscribed|verified. - Webhooks go both ways. Use the incoming Webhook URL to feed external events into an automation; use the HTTP Request action for outgoing webhooks. Treat the incoming URL as a secret and capture a live payload (schema isn't fully published).
- AOV is the funnel job. Rule-based order bumps + one-click upsells/downsells (post-purchase, charged to the original WooCommerce order) + sliding cart are the revenue levers; A/B test the offers.
- It's WordPress-only. No hosted SaaS/MCP; you need a self-hosted WordPress + WooCommerce site. Free version exists; advanced funnel + Automations features are Pro/bundle-gated (best-effort pricing — verify).
If you discover a gotcha, workaround, or tip not covered in references/learnings.md, append it there.
Gotchas
> Best-effort from research (2026-06) — pricing/feature specifics verified against the marketing site, developer docs, and comparison articles; confirm in-account.
- API is the Automations side only.
/wp-json/funnelkit-automations/manages contacts/tags/lists/fields — there's no funnel-builder read API; funnel orders/revenue come from WooCommerce. ?api_key=is a query param. Not a header — it can leak via logs/referrers; keep calls server-side and rotate the key if exposed.- WordPress + WooCommerce required. No hosted API/MCP; everything runs on your self-hosted site, and commerce needs WooCommerce.
- Webhook payloads aren't fully documented. The overview lists incoming/outgoing + conditions but not full schemas/signatures — capture a live delivery and treat the incoming URL as secret.
- Two products + bundles. Funnel Builder and Automations are separate (each Free + Pro); bundles (Plus/Professional/Elite) gate which you get. Price the bundle, not just one plugin (best-effort ~$99.50–$399/yr).
- One-click upsells need gateway support. Post-purchase one-click charges require a compatible WooCommerce gateway (Stripe/PayPal/etc.).
- Formerly WooFunnels/Autonami. Old docs/threads use those names — "Autonami" = FunnelKit Automations.

Examples
Example 1: Add and segment a contact via the Automations API (developer/automation)
User says: "When someone buys in my app, how do I add them to FunnelKit Automations and tag them via the API?"
Skill does: Walks Recipe 1 — POST /wp-json/funnelkit-automations/contact/add?api_key=... with the email/name, then POST /contact/tag-assign/{contact_id} with {"tags":[id]} (and list-assign for a list). Notes the api_key query-param auth (Settings → REST API), the {code,data,limit,offset} response, status values, and that tags/lists are what trigger automations. Flags keeping the key server-side.
Result: Buyers land in Automations correctly tagged, ready to trigger a flow.
Example 2: Receive an external event via incoming webhook
User says: "My payment processor should add a contact to a FunnelKit automation when a subscription renews."
Skill does: Explains the incoming Webhook URL (set up a webhook-triggered automation in FunnelKit Automations), plug that URL into the processor, and use Conditions to branch on the payload; the automation can then add/tag the contact and send email/SMS. Notes the payload schema isn't fully published (capture a live delivery) and to treat the URL as secret. Offers Zapier as a no-code alternative.
Result: Renewals drive a FunnelKit automation in real time.
Example 3: Funnel Builder vs Automations vs a bundle — what do I buy?
User says: "Do I need FunnelKit Funnel Builder, Automations, or both?"
Skill does: Distinguishes Funnel Builder (checkout, order bumps, one-click upsells, A/B testing — the AOV/checkout layer) from Automations (CRM, email/SMS, cart-abandonment, segments — the marketing layer), notes each has Free + Pro and that bundles (Plus/Professional/Elite) combine them. Recommends both for a full WooCommerce funnel + recovery stack; frames pricing as best-effort (~$99.50–$399/yr) and routes tool-selection vs CartFlows/WPFunnels to /sales-funnel.
Result: User buys the right combination for their stack.
Troubleshooting
My API calls return 401/403
Symptom: Requests to /wp-json/funnelkit-automations/... are rejected.
Cause: Missing/invalid api_key query param, or the key wasn't generated/enabled in Automations Settings → REST API.
Solution: Generate the key in Automations → Settings → REST API, append ?api_key={key} to every request (it's a query param, not a header), and use HTTPS. Confirm the base path is /wp-json/funnelkit-automations/ on your site. 403 can also mean a security plugin/host is blocking the REST route.
I can't find an API to read my funnel's orders/upsells
Symptom: Looking for a FunnelKit endpoint for funnel revenue.
Cause: The REST API is the Automations (contacts) side; the Funnel Builder runs on WooCommerce orders and has no separate read API.
Solution: Read order bumps + one-click upsells as WooCommerce orders via the WooCommerce REST API (/wp-json/wc/v3/orders) or WooCommerce order webhooks. Use FunnelKit Automations' API/webhooks for the contact/marketing side.
My one-click upsell isn't charging
Symptom: Post-purchase upsell doesn't complete the charge.
Cause: One-click upsells require a WooCommerce payment gateway that supports post-purchase charges (e.g. Stripe/PayPal as integrated by FunnelKit); not all gateways qualify.
Solution: Use a supported gateway, confirm FunnelKit Funnel Builder Pro is active, rebuild the upsell step, and test a full checkout. For AOV strategy across tools, use /sales-checkout.
