1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for ActiveCampaign and Slack Integration

In this section, we will explore how to set up Pabbly Connect to integrate ActiveCampaign with Slack. First, access the Pabbly Connect dashboard by signing up for a free account. Once logged in, click on ‘Create Workflow’ and name your workflow, for example, ‘ActiveCampaign to Slack.’ This is the starting point for automating notifications.

After naming your workflow, you will see two windows: the trigger window and the action window. The trigger window is where we will connect ActiveCampaign to Pabbly Connect. This integration allows every new contact added in ActiveCampaign to trigger a notification in Slack, keeping your team updated on new leads.

2. Configuring the ActiveCampaign Trigger in Pabbly Connect

To set up the trigger, select ActiveCampaign from the app list in the trigger window. Choose the event ‘Contact Added’ from the dropdown menu. Click on ‘Connect’ and select ‘Add New Connection’ to connect your ActiveCampaign account to Pabbly Connect.

• Enter your ActiveCampaign API key and URL.
• Remove the ‘https://’ from the URL before saving.
• Select the contact list from which you want to get new contact details.

After entering your details, click on ‘Save’. This establishes a connection between ActiveCampaign and Pabbly Connect. Next, we need to set the webhook name and click on ‘Send Test Request’ to ensure everything is functioning correctly.

3. Adding a New Contact to ActiveCampaign

Now that we have set up the trigger, it’s time to add a new contact in ActiveCampaign. Go to the contacts section and click on ‘Add a Contact.’ Fill in the contact details such as name, email, and mobile number, and assign them to the selected list.

Once the new contact is added, Pabbly Connect will receive this information in real-time. This confirms that the trigger is working properly, as you will see the new contact details reflected in the Pabbly Connect dashboard.

4. Setting Up Slack Action in Pabbly Connect

Next, we will configure the action to send a message to Slack. In the action window, select Slack and choose the action event ‘Send Channel Message.’ Click ‘Connect’ and select ‘Add New Connection’ to connect your Slack account to Pabbly Connect.

• Choose the token type (User or Bot based).
• Authorize Pabbly Connect in your Slack account.
• Select the channel where you want to send the notification.

After setting up the connection, you can customize the message that will be sent to your Slack channel. Use the mapped fields from the trigger to include contact details in the message, ensuring your team gets all the necessary information.

5. Testing the Integration Between ActiveCampaign and Slack

Finally, it’s time to test the integration. Add another new contact in ActiveCampaign and observe if the notification is sent to your selected Slack channel. This final step will confirm that the integration works seamlessly through Pabbly Connect.

Once you see the message in Slack, it indicates that the workflow is functioning properly. You can now rely on this automation to keep your team updated on new leads without any manual effort.

Integrating ActiveCampaign with Slack using Pabbly Connect is an efficient way to keep your team informed about new contacts. This tutorial provides a clear step-by-step guide to set up the automation, ensuring no new lead goes unnoticed. With real-time notifications, your team can act promptly on new opportunities.
