Why Agencies Fail With Interact When Quiz Leads Land in the Wrong List
Symptom: Client dashboards show healthy completion counts while the connected Mailchimp or Klaviyo list barely grows, because completions and email leads are counted separately and the Free plan caps at 100 completions/mo. Root cause: Interact syncs leads to email platforms but does not manage multi-tenant sub-accounts, so agencies running several retainer clients under one workspace lose track of which integration and which list each quiz feeds.

How do you recognize it?
- •Client dashboards show healthy completion counts while the connected Mailchimp or Klaviyo list barely grows, because completions and email leads are counted separately and the Free plan caps at 100 completions/mo
- •Branching logic sends a lead tagged for one product recommendation into a segment the client's nurture sequence never reads, so sales never follows up
- •Agency rebuilds the same quiz for a second client and discovers the white-label branding is missing, because the account sits on Lite at $27/mo rather than Growth at $53/mo
- •Monthly reporting meetings stall on which of the 20+ email integrations actually fired, since nobody mapped quiz outcomes to the client's existing tags before launch
- •Clients ask why the quiz looks like Interact rather than their own brand, surfacing only after the embed is live on their site
Why does it happen?
- •Interact syncs leads to email platforms but does not manage multi-tenant sub-accounts, so agencies running several retainer clients under one workspace lose track of which integration and which list each quiz feeds
- •White-labeling is gated to the Growth plan ($53/mo) and above, and teams that start on Lite to test demand ship client-facing quizzes carrying Interact branding
- •Branching logic and segmentation are configured at build time, and agencies that skip mapping outcomes to the client's existing email tags create segments the client's automation never references
- •Completion limits differ by tier (100/mo on Free, 500 email leads/mo on Lite, 2k email leads/mo on Growth), and agencies that size the plan against traffic rather than against qualified leads hit caps mid-campaign
How do you fix it?
- •Audit the plan tier against the client's expected monthly lead volume before launch, and move to Growth at $53/mo if the quiz needs white-labeling or more than 500 email leads/mo
- •Document each client's email platform, list name, and tag structure in a per-client sheet, then verify the integration fires a test lead into the correct list before the embed goes live
- •Rebuild branching logic so every outcome maps to a tag the client's existing automation already reads, and delete orphan segments
- •Run a test completion on the live embed and confirm the lead appears in the client's email platform within the same session, then screenshot it for the retainer report
