Infusionsoft Cookbook – Chapter 10.5 – Adding A Calendar Dropdown To Date Type Fields On Forms

When a user is filling out an internal form inside Infusionsoft, and they are populating a date field, the system shows a calendar picker. However, if we place a Date type field on a web form, the contact must enter the date in a specific format, otherwise it doesn’t properly capture the information. This hack uses a simple piece of JavaScript to add a calendar picker to Date type fields on a web form or landing page.

Infusionsoft Cookbook – Chapter 10.3 – Triggering Automation From An E-mail Open

Tracking e-mail opens is directly impacted by the recipient’s e-mail software, because tracking an open can only occur when an e-mail’s HTML is loaded.

Despite this instability in the automation confidence, automating based on e-mail opens can still be leveraged by another legacy merge field hack.

This hack uses a legacy merge field to insert custom confirmation links into a campaign builder e-mail.
