To execute a Link Trigger multiple times in FunnelKit Automations, you need to add a bit of custom PHP code.
Here is the snippet of code you need to add into your WordPress install (i.e. most likely into /wp-content/themes/yourtheme/functions.php).
Add to functions.php:
// run FunnelKit Automations Link Trigger multiple times
add_filter('bwfan_link_trigger_multi_execution', function(){
return true;
} );

TIP! Use this code to set up a double opt-in
A double opt-in is where a user completes a form on your website to subscribe to your mailing list. You then send them an email with a link inside. The user MUST click this click inside the email before they are subscribed to your mailing list. This helps prevent SPAM emails from joining your mailing list & hurting your email open rates.
For example, here is my Automation in FunnelKit Automations.
I have a Link Trigger in the emails set in (3) and (4) above (the same Link Trigger is in both emails).
The Link Trigger has the following rule: “on click” it updates the user’s field “Status” to “Subscribed”:
So the aim of this Link Trigger is to subscribe people to FunnelKit Automations again whenever they click this link.
The problem is, people can click this link trigger, get subscribed, then unsubscribe.
Later on, they might come back into this Automation and want to subscribe again, so we send them the same email, they click the Link Trigger they’ve previously clicked before to subscribe and… NOTHING HAPPENS!
As they’ve already clicked this link trigger before.
That’s actually why I added the above PHP code to my WordPress website and why I specifically needed to execute Link Triggers every time someone clicked them.
