Systeme.io Funnel Builder Tutorial (2025 Beginner Walkthrough)

Funnels are not just buzzwords. They’re the difference between someone clicking around aimlessly... and actually buying. And Systeme.io makes building funnels feel like dragging Lego blocks into place.

Let’s go step-by-step and build your first funnel in under 15 minutes.


Step 1: Go to Funnels → Create New

Give it a name. Pick a goal (build audience, sell product, custom). Systeme.io gives you a clean layout with steps on the left (squeeze page, thank you, sales, etc.).


Step 2: Pick a TemplateYou can:

  • Start from scratch

  • Choose a pre-made layout (I recommend starting with a lead magnet or product template)

  • Modify fonts, images, colors without needing CSS brain damage

You get fast-loading, mobile-ready pages out of the box.


Step 3: Hook Up Email Automation

  • Go to "Automation Rules" on each page

  • Trigger: "Form Submitted"

  • Action: Add tag, subscribe to campaign, or send email

That’s it. You’ve now connected your funnel to your email system in 10 seconds.


Step 4: Publish and Test Like a Real Marketer

  • Preview the funnel

  • Submit your own email

  • Make sure the emails fire

  • Share the funnel link with 1 person who will actually give feedback


Bonus Tip: Clone and Tweak

Once your first funnel works, duplicate it. Tweak for different audiences, offers, or list segments. Don’t reinvent crap.
