1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Jotform and ActiveCampaign Integration

To begin automating the addition of ActiveCampaign contacts from new Jotform submissions, first access Pabbly Connect. This is the central platform that streamlines the integration process between Jotform and ActiveCampaign. Start by navigating to the Pabbly Connect dashboard after signing up for a free account.

Once logged in, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow something descriptive, such as ‘Jotform Submitters to ActiveCampaign Contacts.’ After naming your workflow, click the ‘Create’ button to proceed to the next step where you will define the trigger and action for your automation.

2. Defining the Trigger Event with Jotform

In this step, you will define the trigger event using Jotform in Pabbly Connect. Search for Jotform as your trigger application and select the event labeled ‘New Response.’ This action will initiate the workflow whenever a new submission is received from your Jotform.

• Select Jotform as the trigger application.
• Choose the trigger event ‘New Response.’
• Copy the provided webhook URL for integration.

After selecting the trigger, you’ll receive a webhook URL. This URL is essential for connecting Jotform with Pabbly Connect. Follow the instructions provided to set up the webhook in your Jotform account.

3. Integrating Jotform with Pabbly Connect

Next, open your Jotform account and navigate to the form builder for the form you want to connect. Click on the ‘Settings’ tab, then select ‘Integrations’ from the left-hand panel. Here, search for ‘Webhooks’ and paste the webhook URL you copied from Pabbly Connect into the designated field.

After pasting the URL, click on ‘Complete Integration’ to finalize the setup. Once integrated, Jotform will show a message indicating that it is waiting for a webhook connection response. At this point, perform a test submission on your Jotform to ensure the integration is working correctly.

4. Setting Up ActiveCampaign as the Action Application

Now that your Jotform is successfully integrated with Pabbly Connect, it’s time to set up ActiveCampaign as the action application. Search for ActiveCampaign in the action application field and select the action event ‘Create a Contact.’ This will allow you to automatically add new contacts to ActiveCampaign based on Jotform submissions.

• Select ActiveCampaign as the action application.
• Choose the action event ‘Create a Contact.’
• Connect your ActiveCampaign account by entering the API Key and URL.

To connect your ActiveCampaign account, you will need to provide your API key and the account URL. You can find these details in your ActiveCampaign settings under the ‘Developer’ section. Once connected, you will see fields for email, first name, last name, and phone number to map the data from Jotform.

5. Mapping Fields and Testing the Integration

After setting up ActiveCampaign in Pabbly Connect, you will need to map the fields from the Jotform submission to the corresponding fields in ActiveCampaign. Click on each field in the action step and select the appropriate data from the previous Jotform response.

For example, map the email, first name, last name, and phone number accordingly. Once all fields are mapped, click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button to test your integration. This will create a new contact in ActiveCampaign based on your test submission.

Check your ActiveCampaign contacts list to confirm that the new contact has been added successfully. After confirming the test, your workflow is complete. From now on, every new Jotform submission will automatically create a contact in ActiveCampaign through Pabbly Connect.

Conclusion

By following this tutorial, you have successfully set up an automation that adds ActiveCampaign contacts from new Jotform submissions using Pabbly Connect. This integration streamlines your workflow and saves you time by automating the contact addition process.
