Turning Students into Social Proof: Connecting Fomo with Kajabi โจ
In the world of online courses and memberships, "Member Momentum" is your best sales tool. When a prospective student sees others joining your program in real-time, it answers their biggest question: "Is this community active and worth my investment?"
By connecting Kajabi to Fomo, you automate your social proof, creating a "crowded classroom" effect that drives higher enrollment rates.
๐ง The Strategy: High-Relevance Enrollments
Don't just show "sales" show commitments. For high-consideration products like courses, seeing a "new member" notification provides the psychological safety a visitor needs to click "Join." ๐ฏ
Step 0 - Embed Fomo script
First, install the Fomo script to your Kajabi site following these instructions. Then, return here to connect the Kajabi integration!
Step 1: Initialize the Bridge ๐ ๏ธ
-
Inside Fomo, navigate to Integrations tab > Add notification.

-
All Notifications> Search for and select Kajabi.

-
Click Connect and copy the Webhook URL provided.

Step 2: Link Your Kajabi Offer ๐
-
Log in to your Kajabi dashboard.
-
Navigate to Sales > Offers (Note: "Offers" is now located under the Sales tab, not "Products").

-
Select the specific Offer you want to track (e.g., your "Masterclass").

Click the More Actions (or
...) button in the top right and select Webhooks.

Step 3: Activate the Data Flow โก
-
In your Kajabi Offer Webhooks settings, locate the field specifically labeled "Purchase Webhook URL".
-
Paste your Fomo Webhook URL into that field.
-
Click Save.
Pro-Tip: If you have multiple offers, repeat this for each one to keep your social proof diverse and "live" across your site. You only need to go to your Kajabi integration setting and click Connect New:

๐ ๏ธ Troubleshooting: The Custom Webhook "Fail-Safe"
Platforms can be finicky. If you find the native Kajabi integration isn't capturing data correctly, don't let your social proof go dark.
You can use our Custom Webhook integration as a high-performance workaround. This gives you deeper control over how data is mapped and ensures that every single student enrollment is captured without fail.

Step 4: Verify and Scale โ
Fomo needs to see at least one "real" event to map the data fields (like Name, City, or Course Title) perfectly.
-
Trigger the Flow: Perform a test purchase of your offer or wait for your next organic sale to come through.
- Map the Data: Once the event hits your Fomo dashboard, you can customize your message. Instead of a generic alert, make it personal: "{{ first_name }} just joined the Inner Circle!"
๐ก๏ธ Pro-Tip: Protect Your Social Proof with Filters
Sometimes, a user might leave their first name blank or use a nickname. To prevent "broken" notifications, we recommend setting up Template Filters and Fallbacks.
-
The Goal: If the
{{ first_name }}variable is empty, Fomo can automatically "fall back" to a generic word like "A new student" or "Someone."
- The CRO Value: This ensures your social proof always looks intentional and high-quality. You never want a visitor to see a blank space where a name should beโit looks like a bug and creates "trust friction."

๐ Advanced Synergy: Strategy for Scale
-
Offer-Specific Page Rules: Use Page Rules to ensure notifications for an "Advanced Course" only show up on that specific landing page. ๐ฏ
- Community Themes: Use a Custom Theme that matches your Kajabi siteโs branding, making notifications feel like a native part of the member experience.
