How to Access the Importer

  • Go to Memberships > Courses > Products > Create Product > Import from Kajabi




Best Practices

  • Create a backup of your themes in Kajabi. This is just a precautionary step, which allows you to revert to your original settings inside Kajabi, if want to do so later.

  • Initiate the migration during off-peak hours to minimize any potential impact on your learners while they are using the Kajabi course.

Important Things to Note:


  • All videos, images and text content will be migrated for courses ( and lessons ), from Kajabi into FG Funnels.

  • Custom CSS will not be imported from the course inside Kajabi into the course inside FG Funnels

  • The import will only bring in lessons that have been "Published" inside your Kajabi course.

  • The assignments, quizzes, and assessments will not be included in the import process.

  • Files in the "Downloads" section of a lesson in Kajabi, will not be imported into the course inside FG Funnels.

  • "Premier Product" is the only compatible theme for the Library and Product sections in Kajabi.
    • Your course inside Kajabi, must be set to the "Premier Product" theme in order for the FG Funnels system to be able to complete the import process.

  • You must have a Kajabi website created, and select the latest Encore version. Otherwise you will receive an error message from the course importer.

Steps to Import a Course


Step 1: Create a Learner profile

  • Create a learner profile on the platform you are importing from.

    • Ensure you are creating a new contact within the Kajabi platform you are importing from.
      • You can use any email address you prefer. 
      • Make sure to change the contact's password, so it's something simple you can entered into the Kajabi importer field for the password.
      • Grant the contact access to the courses that your want to import.

  • Once created, go back to the course importer screen, and enter the email and password you used to create the account in the previous step.

  • Add the learner domain in the domain field ( the domain where you enter learner login credentials to login to your Kajabi course area ).

  • Click the " Import" button

  • Read and Agree to the message in the course importer agreement pop up box



Step 2: Importing Process

Important Note: You can switch tabs while the import is being processed, but do not close the tab or window.

  • Once the import process has started, it will log you in via the learner credentials and start importing the courses.
  • While the progress will be shown, you can also click on the "Refresh" button to get an accurate status update on the import.
  • To cancel the importing process, click the "Cancel" button.


The Import will show your the progress on how many course it has imported so far:




Step 3: Successful importation 

  • Last updated will appear under the Import section, stating when the last process took place.


  • Once the courses are successfully imported, they will appear under the "Products" section [ Memberships > Courses > Products ].


FAQs


What causes an authentication error?


Authentication errors appear when the added domain or credentials are incorrect. To resolve this, carefully verify the credentials again and ensure they are correct before initiating the import process.



What causes a "course import failed" error?

  • Possible reasons for import failure:
    • Incorrect Theme: Ensure that the selected theme is "Premier Product"
    • Credential Verification: Double-check the accuracy of the contact email address and password you entered into the importer, from Kajabi.
    • Valid Domain: Confirm that the provided domain is compatible with the "/login" path. For example, "https://YourSubdomainName.mykajabi.com/login" should lead to the login page.
    • Retry Option: If the import fails, you can click on "retry" to resume the process from where it left off.

    • Cancellation Clarification: If a user cancels the import, it will be considered as canceled by the user, and any new imports will start from the beginning.
