1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To begin automating the creation or update of ActiveCampaign contacts, you need to access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows seamless integration between GoHighLevel and ActiveCampaign.

First, visit the Pabbly Connect website and log into your account. If you’re new, you can sign up for a free account that offers 100 tasks per month. Once logged in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard to start the setup process.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will create a new workflow in Pabbly Connect to facilitate the integration. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button in the top right corner of the dashboard.

• Name your workflow: ‘Create or Update ActiveCampaign Contact on GoHighLevel Form Submission’.
• Select a folder to save the workflow, such as ‘GoHighLevel Automations’.
• Click the ‘Create’ button to finalize your workflow setup.

After creating the workflow, you will see two sections: ‘Trigger’ and ‘Action’. The trigger will capture the form submission from GoHighLevel, which will initiate the automation process.

3. Setting Up the Trigger for GoHighLevel Form Submission

Now it’s time to set the trigger in Pabbly Connect. Select ‘Lead Connector V2’ as your trigger application. This corresponds to GoHighLevel, which allows you to capture form submissions.

For the trigger event, select ‘Form Submitted’. Upon selection, Pabbly Connect will provide a unique webhook URL. Copy this URL, as it will be used to connect GoHighLevel with Pabbly Connect.

4. Connecting GoHighLevel to Pabbly Connect

Next, log into your GoHighLevel account and navigate to the form you created. To connect this form to Pabbly Connect, go to the automation section and create a new workflow.

• Name this workflow as ‘New Form Entry’.
• Add a trigger for ‘Form Submitted’ and specify the form you want to connect.
• Add an action for ‘Webhook’ and paste the copied Pabbly Connect webhook URL.

Once you save the action, publish the workflow. This ensures that every time a form is submitted, the data will be sent to Pabbly Connect, allowing it to process the information accordingly.

5. Setting Up the Action in Pabbly Connect to ActiveCampaign

After configuring the trigger, the next step is to set up the action to create or update a contact in ActiveCampaign using Pabbly Connect. For the action application, select ‘ActiveCampaign’ and choose the action event ‘Create or Update Contact’.

To connect your ActiveCampaign account, you will need the API key and URL. Log into ActiveCampaign, navigate to settings, and under the developer section, copy the API URL and key. Paste them into Pabbly Connect, ensuring to remove the ‘https://’ from the URL.

Now, map the required fields from the previous trigger step such as email, first name, last name, and phone number. This mapping ensures that the contact information from the GoHighLevel form submission is correctly passed to ActiveCampaign. Once everything is set, send a test request to verify that the integration works seamlessly.
