1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Automation

To automate the enrollment of new ActiveCampaign contacts into a Teachable course, first, you need to set up Pabbly Connect. This platform facilitates seamless integration between your ActiveCampaign account and Teachable.

Begin by visiting the Pabbly Connect dashboard. If you don’t have an account, create one by searching for ‘Pabbly Connect’ in your browser and signing up for a free account. Once logged in, click on ‘Create Workflow’ and name it something descriptive, like ‘ActiveCampaign to Teachable’.

2. Connecting ActiveCampaign to Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will connect your ActiveCampaign account to Pabbly Connect. This connection is crucial for fetching new contact details automatically.

In the trigger section of your workflow, search for ActiveCampaign. Choose the trigger event ‘Contact Added’. You will need to connect your ActiveCampaign account by entering your API key and URL. To find these, go to your ActiveCampaign account, navigate to Settings, then Developers. Copy the API key and the URL, ensuring to remove the ‘https://’ part before pasting it into Pabbly Connect.

• Access ActiveCampaign settings and select Developers.
• Copy the API Key and URL.
• Paste them into Pabbly Connect, adjusting the URL as necessary.

After saving the connection, select the list from which you want to capture contacts. For instance, if you have a list named ‘Teachable Customer List’, select that. This setup allows Pabbly Connect to monitor new contacts added to that specific list.

3. Creating a New Contact in ActiveCampaign

Now that your ActiveCampaign account is connected to Pabbly Connect, you can test the integration by adding a new contact. This step is essential to ensure that the automation works correctly.

Go to the Contacts page in ActiveCampaign and click on ‘Add a Contact’. Enter the details for a new contact, such as the name ‘Gary Monro’ along with their email and phone number. Make sure to add this contact to the ‘Teachable Customer List’ to trigger the automation.

• Input the first name, last name, email, and phone number.
• Select the appropriate list for the contact.
• Click ‘Add’ to save the contact.

Once you add the contact, Pabbly Connect will capture the response, including all the details of the newly created contact. This data will be used to enroll the user in your Teachable course automatically.

4. Enrolling the New Contact in Teachable

With the contact created in ActiveCampaign, it’s time to enroll them in your Teachable course using Pabbly Connect. In the action section of your workflow, search for Teachable and select the action event ‘Enroll User in Course’.

Connect your Teachable account to Pabbly Connect by entering your email, password, and subdomain. The subdomain can be found in your Teachable account URL, which appears before ‘/admin’. After connecting, select the course you want to enroll the new user in.

Choose the course from the dropdown menu. Map the email and username fields using the data captured from ActiveCampaign. Click ‘Save’ to complete the setup.

After saving, send a test request to ensure everything is functioning correctly. If successful, you will see a confirmation that the user has been enrolled in the course.

5. Testing the Automation

Now that you’ve set up the integration, it’s crucial to test the automation to confirm it works as intended. Use Pabbly Connect to check if the new contact from ActiveCampaign is correctly enrolled in Teachable.

Create another contact in ActiveCampaign, such as ‘Curren Singh’. Follow the same steps as before, ensuring they are added to the ‘Teachable Customer List’. After adding the contact, refresh your Teachable account to verify their enrollment.

If everything is set up correctly, you should see the new contact listed as a student in your selected Teachable course. This confirms that your automation is functioning perfectly, allowing new ActiveCampaign contacts to be enrolled automatically in your Teachable courses.
