What is ClickFunnels Framework?

A ClickFunnels Framework is a comprehensive template that allows you to share all key components of your ClickFunnels workspace. This includes funnels, workflows, themes, courses, products, stores, and more. It serves as a complete blueprint that can be implemented or customized to meet specific business needs.

For example, an online fitness coaching business can create a framework that includes a lead generation funnel, an onboarding workflow, a branded theme, and courses with workout plans. Other coaches can then import this framework to set up their businesses quickly, using proven strategies.

Benefits of Using ClickFunnels Framework

ClickFunnels Frameworks provide significant benefits for both sharing and receiving a complete business setup:

Pre-built funnels for clients: Frameworks offers a time-saving and efficient solution for delivering high-quality funnels to your clients without the need to build them from scratch each time.
Consistency and Scalability: By providing a pre-built, cohesive structure, frameworks help maintain consistency across multiple accounts, making it easy to scale successful strategies.
Customization Flexibility: Share only the components you need, tailored to specific requirements.
Comprehensive Resource Sharing: Frameworks allow sharing of a variety of components including themes, email templates, and pages, ensuring all the essential resources are available for a quick start.
Quick start for new ClickFunnels users: Frameworks provide a valuable starting point for new users of ClickFunnels. They can leverage pre-built components to learn the platform and build upon existing templates.
Business Transition: Ensure smooth transfers of ownership or management of your ClickFunnels setup.

How to Create a Framework

From your ClickFunnels dashboard, click on the Frameworks menu in the left side navigation.
Frameworks page will open in the ‘Workspace Settings’.
Click on ‘Add new Framework’.
Configure the Template: In the open widget, you will need to enter the following details:
- Name: Provide a name for your framework so you can identify it easily.
- Availability: This setting determines how users can access your framework using the shareable link:
  - Unavailable: This option essentially breaks the shareable link. Even if someone has the link, they won’t be able to import the framework into their ClickFunnels account. Use this if you want to revoke access to a previously shared framework.
  - Privately Available: This keeps the framework private. Anyone with the shareable link can import the framework into their ClickFunnels account.
- Affiliate Name and Code: You can enter your affiliate name and select affiliate code here. This will enable you to earn a commission if someone creates a new ClickFunnels account by clicking on your shareable link.
Include Resources: This section acts as your toolbox when building your ClickFunnels Framework. Here, you can select the specific components another ClickFunnels user or entrepreneur would need to run a successful campaign or business using your framework.
- Included Themes: Click on ‘Add Theme’ to include any theme you have created in your workspace and want to share within this framework.
- Included Courses: Click on ‘Add Course’ to add any course from your workspace.
- Included Funnels: Click on ‘Add Funnel’ to select a specific funnel that you want to include in the framework.
  
  When you add a funnel to the framework, any workflows connected to its pages will be automatically shared and linked to the corresponding funnel pages in the recipient’s workspace. There is no need to add these workflows separately in the “Included Workflows” section.
- Included Workflows: Click on ‘Add Workflow’ to incorporate any relevant automated workflows into the framework.
- Included Pages: Click on ‘Add Page’ to include the landing pages and other web pages that are essential for the functionality of your ClickFunnels Framework.
- Included Email Templates: Click on ‘Add Email Template’ to add any email templates from your workspace.
- Included Store: Click on ‘Add Store’ to include the store from your workspace. If the “Include Products” toggle is enabled while adding the store, it will automatically add all products visible in the store to the “Included Products” section of the framework. If the toggle is off, no products will be shared unless they are manually added to the “Included Products” section.
  
  If the recipient’s workspace already has a store set up, the framework cannot be imported into that workspace to avoid conflict. The recipient will need to select a different workspace or create a new workspace to import the framework successfully.
- Included Products: Click on ‘Add Product’ to include individual products independently of a store or funnel. This option is useful if you want to share specific products without including the entire store setup.
Click ‘Create Framework’ to save your new framework.

How to Edit and Modify a Framework

From your ClickFunnels dashboard, click on the Frameworks menu in the left side navigation.
Frameworks page will open in the ‘Workspace Settings’.
Click on the name of framework or the gear icon (⚙️) next to the store upsell you wish to edit.
Modify the name, availability, included resources, and other settings.
Click on ‘Publish Changes’ to update sharable link.
Finally, click ‘Update Framework’ to save the changes.

Modifying a framework does not change its shareable link; the link remains static, ensuring uninterrupted access for users. After modifying, make sure you click Publish Changes button to update sharble link so receipient receives updated resources.

How to Delete a Framework

From your ClickFunnels dashboard, click on the Frameworks menu in the left side navigation.
Frameworks page will open in the ‘Workspace Settings’.
Click on the name of framework you wish to delete.
Scroll to the bottom of the framework settings page and click on the Delete button.
A confirmation prompt will appear; click Proceed to permanently delete the framework.

Deleting a framework is a permanent action and cannot be undone. Ensure you are deleting the correct framework before proceeding.

How to Import a Framework to a ClickFunnels Workspace

Get the sharing URL from the person who is sharing the framework.
Copy the shared link and paste it into your web browser.
If you are not already logged in, you will be prompted to log into your ClickFunnels account. If you do not have an account, you will need to create one.
Once logged in, you will be asked to choose which workspace you want to import the components into. Alternatively, you can create a new workspace for the imported framework.
ClickFunnels will import all the resourcces from the shared framework into the selected workspace. A success window will appear when the importing is completed.

Frameworks FAQs

If my funnels have products attached to their pages, will those products be included when I share the framework?

Currently, as Frameworks is in its beta phase, products attached to funnel pages are not automatically included when a funnel is shared within a framework. You will need to manually add those products to the “Included Products” section of your framework. We are actively working on an enhancement to automate this process in future updates.

What happens if the recipient’s workspace already has a store set up when I include a store in the framework?

You cannot import a framework into a workspace that already has an existing store. To avoid this issue, the recipient can either create a new workspace to import the framework or you can create the framework without including the store component.

Are there any limitations on what I can include in a framework?

You can exports workspace themes, courses, funnels, workflows, pages, store, products and email templates.

Can I share a framework with someone who does not have a ClickFunnels account?

Yes, you can share a framework with someone who does not have a ClickFunnels account. When they click the shared link, they will be prompted to create a new ClickFunnels account.

If I include products in the framework, will all product variants, images, and other details be imported?

Yes, when products are included in a framework, all details such as variants, images, pricing, and other product-specific options will be fully imported into the recipient’s workspace, ensuring consistency and completeness.
