Is there a delay?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no delay. Lead submissions are sent to AWeber in real time. OptinMonster will not perform the <a href=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/docs\/how-to-use-actions-for-success-view-and-more\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Button Action<\/a> (like showing a success view or redirecting the user) until we get a confirmation that the submission was successfully received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"alert-box alert-blue\">\n<p class=\"alert-box-title\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if your campaign is integrated with multiple Email Service Providers (ESPs) at the same time, OptinMonster sends the lead data to all connected integrations simultaneously, without delay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-arrow-link has-link-color\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why doesn\u2019t my conversion count match the number of leads in AWeber?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>It is normal for these numbers to differ. There are some reasons for a discrepancy between the conversion count in OptinMonster and the lead count in AWeber:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Double Opt-In:<\/strong> If your email service is set to require <a href=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/docs\/whats-the-difference-between-single-and-double-opt-in\/#AWeber\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">double opt-in<\/a>, a user must first click a confirmation link in an email before they are officially added to your list. OptinMonster records a conversion as soon as the form is submitted, but AWeber won&#8217;t count them as a new lead until they confirm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Existing Subscribers:<\/strong> OptinMonster records a conversion each time a form is successfully submitted, provided that<a href=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/docs\/how-to-enable-conversion-tracking\/\">&nbsp;<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/docs\/how-to-enable-conversion-tracking\/#Form_Conversion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">conversion tracking is enabled on the submit button<\/a>. However, if an existing subscriber fills out your form again, AWeber will likely not add them as a new lead, as their email is already on your list.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Conversion Tracking Enabled on Other Blocks:<\/strong> Conversions can be tracked on various elements, not just the form submission button. For example, if you have&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/docs\/how-to-enable-conversion-tracking\/#Image_Link_Conversion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">conversion tracking enabled on an image link<\/a>&nbsp;and a visitor selects it but does not fill out the form, OptinMonster will still count a conversion. This increases your conversion count without a lead being submitted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Integration Failure:<\/strong> If the integration experiences a temporary issue, form submissions will still count as conversions. However, the lead data may not be sent to integration.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lead Filtering:<\/strong> When a user signs up with a disposable email address or is flagged as suspicious, the campaign will still record a conversion (form submission), but your integration platform may reject or filter out the lead.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Troubleshooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The campaign is capturing leads but shows 0 conversions in analytics.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Confirm that conversion tracking is turned on for the submit button in your campaign.
