Tracking Codes
You can inject third-party tracking codes in three places of your pages. Inside the head section, after the opening body tag and before the closing body tag. You can use this setting to embed Google Analytics, Facebook pixel or any other tracking codes. To avoid adding too much code here, we recommend using Google Tagmanager. To use Google Tagmanager on SonicLMS or SonicFunnels, read this tutorial.
Email Marketing
This option allows you to connect SonnicLMS to Mailchimp or Sendy (more providers are coming soon) and collect newsletter subscribers. Subscription forms can be added to pages using pre-built sections in the pagebuilder. For more details on how to use this option, watch these tutorials:
Email Settings
This setting is responsible for sending out system messages. This option uses SMTP relays to send out emails therefore it is important to provide the correct information here. You should set up this option immediately after installation, otherwise you may have problem with new registrations and other functionalities! For a detailed explanation on how to set up the SMTP connection, please check this video tutorial.

Captcha Settings
The captcha settings uses Google’s recaptcha. The captcha will protect your registration and contact page from spammers. To set it up you need to acquire a site key and secret key from the Google Recaptcha page. You can use your gmail address to log in. For a video tutorial on how to set this up, please click here.
Blacklists
