1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start the process of integrating ActiveCampaign with Notion, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. This powerful automation tool allows you to connect various applications seamlessly.

Visit the Pabbly Connect website and sign up for a free account. If you’re already a user, simply log in to your dashboard. Once logged in, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to begin your automation setup.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing Pabbly Connect, you need to create a new workflow. Name your workflow something descriptive like ‘When subscriber data is added in Notion, create subscriber in ActiveCampaign’. This helps in identifying the workflow easily.

Next, you will see two boxes: one for the trigger and another for the action. In this case, the trigger will be from Notion, and the action will be to create a subscriber in ActiveCampaign. Select Notion as the trigger application and choose the appropriate trigger event.

• Select ‘New Database Item’ as the trigger event.
• Click on ‘Add New Connection’ to connect your Notion account.
• Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Notion account.

Once connected, select the specific database from your Notion account where the subscriber information will be stored. This setup ensures that every new lead added to Notion triggers the automation.

3. Configuring ActiveCampaign in Pabbly Connect

Now that your Notion connection is established, it’s time to configure ActiveCampaign within Pabbly Connect. Select ActiveCampaign as the action application and choose ‘Create or Update a Contact’ as the action event.

To connect ActiveCampaign, you will need your API key and URL. These can be found in the settings of your ActiveCampaign account under the Developer section. Make sure to copy the URL without the ‘https’ prefix as instructed.

• Paste the API key and the modified URL into Pabbly Connect.
• Click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’ to verify the connection.
• Map the fields from Notion to ActiveCampaign for subscriber details.

Mapping is crucial as it ensures that the data from Notion is correctly sent to ActiveCampaign. Ensure you map the first name, last name, email address, and phone number fields accordingly.

4. Testing the Integration Between Notion and ActiveCampaign

After configuring both applications in Pabbly Connect, it’s time to test the integration. Add a new subscriber detail in your Notion database, including the first name, last name, email, and phone number.

Once the data is added, go back to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’ again. This action will fetch the latest data from Notion and send it to ActiveCampaign.

Check the response received from Pabbly Connect to confirm the data has been captured. Log into your ActiveCampaign account to verify that the subscriber has been created successfully. Refresh the contact section to see the newly added subscriber.

Successful testing will confirm that the integration is working as intended. Now, every time a new lead is added to Notion, it will automatically create a subscriber in ActiveCampaign.

5. Automating the Process with Pabbly Connect

With the integration set up in Pabbly Connect, the process is now automated. Every eight hours, Pabbly Connect will check for new entries in your Notion database and create corresponding subscribers in ActiveCampaign.

This automation saves time and eliminates the need for manual data entry. You can sit back and let Pabbly Connect handle the task of keeping your subscriber list updated.

If you ever need to modify the workflow or add additional applications, you can easily do so within Pabbly Connect. This flexibility allows you to scale your automation as your business grows.
