How to Set Up the ActiveCampaign Integration


Overview

The Sakari ActiveCampaign integration allows you to:

  • Send text messages from ActiveCampaign automations
  • Configure SMS templates, have multiple phone numbers and send MMS (image) text messages
  • Send and receive messages from the Sakari mobile app
  • Gives visibility of the sent and received text messages inside of ActiveCampaign
  • Provides in-depth messaging details on the contact profile

Setup

10. There are four optional settings.  We recommend turning all of these on and clicking Save.  These will create new attributes that live on the contact record in ActiveCampaign. 

  • Inbound Timeline Events - Create a Note when a new message is received
  • Outbound Timeline Events - Create a Note when a new message is sent
  • Message Received Information Properties - Add last message received info to ActiveCampaign as contact custom fields
  • Enable Opt-In / Opt-Out - Receive dates when contacts Opt-In and Opt-Out to messages as contact custom fields in ActiveCampaign

11. Once you've chosen your options, click the blue Save button. This will automatically begin connecting your ActiveCampaign and Sakari account for an initial sync. Once the sync is completed and successful, you’ll receive a confirmation email. Going forward, anytime a contact is added or edited inside of ActiveCampaign, the information will be updated inside of Sakari.

Note: In your confirmation email, if you see that you have invalid contacts, those are contacts that don’t have a phone number inputted into their contact information.
