Your Contacts In ActiveCampaign

Aѕ a CRM-focused арр, Cоntасtѕ аrе at thе сеntеr оf ActiveCampaign. Yоu’ll hаvе forms аnd арр integrations to brіng іn соntасtѕ, detailed рrоfіlеѕ оn еасh реrѕоn уоu add іnсludіng ѕосіаl іnfо and thеіr іntеrасtіоnѕ with уоur еmаіlѕ and site, and a kаnbаn-ѕtуlе bоаrd to organize your leads аnd dеаlѕ wіth your соntасtѕ. Then, уоu’ll bе аblе tо ѕеgmеnt your contacts bу thеіr info, аnd mаrkеt directly tо them. It еvеn integrates wіth уоur еmаіl арр ѕо уоu саn see уоur соnvеrѕаtіоnѕ wіth еасh of your соntасtѕ. Also, you can group your contacts by selecting the desired contacts, clicking on Edit and giving them a common tag. This can help you for better filtering your contacts. Speaking on filtering, except by tag, you can also filter your contacts by list and by status (active, unconfirmed, unsubscribed, bounced)

Image 3. Contacts panel in ActiveCampaign dashboard

There are many actions you perform on your contacts from your list. By editing the selected contacts, you can:

• Add them to a specific list
• Remove them from a list
• Add your contacts to some previously created automation
• Add a tag name for better filtering
• Remove a tag
• Add some note
• Manually update some of their fields (like their phone or organization

Image 4. Select and edit your contacts in the Contacts panel

You can also import contacts from a CSV file (you need to have a list first to where the contacts will be imported) or you can just use the copy/paste option to import your contacts. You can also easily export your existing contacts (in a CSV file). If you want to connect with other services to have your new contacts added automatically, then ActiveCampaign has integrated over 100 popular services from where you can import contacts automatically. And of course, in the end, there is an option for manually adding a contact. We will cover this later when we create our first LIST. Manually update some of their fields (like their phone or organization)

Creating A List With ActiveCampaign

As we mentioned, you need to have a LIST before starting with the import of your contacts. Creating a list is our next step, and the process of doing so is relatively simple. From the navigation menu at the top, just choose the LIST menu and press the green button Add New List.

• First, you need to name your list such as: Academy
• In the next fields you need to enter the information about your businesses: your business name, address, city, state and country.
• Enter the website URL where this list will be used and at the last filed write some text that will be sent to your contacts who will be joining this list.

Image 5. Creating new list by going to Lists -> Add New List

Once the LIST is created now you can import your existing contacts to your newly created list. If you don’t have contacts yet, that’s fine too; we will show later how to gather them from your website into your list. Now, if you have a .csv file with your contacts (exported from Aweber, MailChimp or another autoresponder) – great, but if you don’t have the file, you can just import them with copy/paste.

Image 6. Created our master list – Academy

So, find the IMPORT button right bellow the LIST and chose which option works best for you for importing your contacts.

Image 7. Options for importing your contacts and connecting with over 100 apps

Also, below you can notice over 100 services from where you can import your contacts. The process of configuring the chosen setup of your particular app will have your contacts added automatically with no need to manually import them in the future. At this point one important question arises:

Should I Use One List Or Many?

By using one list it will be easier for you to organize your contacts. You can use more tags for organizing each group of your contacts and you won’t bother with managing dozens of lists.   However, there are many cons to using one list. One problem is the unsubscription problem. Once the user unsubscribes from your only list, he is gone forever. The other problem is the broadcasting segmentation. Usually most of the time you need to broadcast emails specifically to one targeted group of your contacts, especially if you manage a sales funnel. That’s why we recommend using more lists, but not too many. We will keep it simple. For our most successful sales funnel which we will elaborate later, we need to have only 4 lists, each for every stage of the funnel:

• Lead Magnet List
• Tripwire List
• Core Product List
• Profit Maximizer List

Go ahead and create these lists in the same way as we described above.

Image 8. Created all of our lists that we will be using in the Automation

Our most successful funnel:

Creating Your First Campaign With ActiveCampaign

We’ve created our list, we’ve imported our contacts, and now іt’ѕ time tо рut that dаtа to work аnd ѕtаrt marketing to our contacts. Remember: You need to have a few contacts (can be tested emails also) in your list(s) to create your campaign. AсtіvеCаmраіgn includes a drag-and-drop еmаіl tеmрlаtе editor, just lіkе you’d еxресt frоm аррѕ thаt аrе designed just fоr sending еmаіlѕ. Yоu саn quісklу dеѕіgn bеаutіful emails, add thе соntеnt you want and ѕtоrе рісturеѕ in ActiveCampaign tо rеuѕе later, then send thеm оut to уоur contact lіѕtѕ – nо ѕераrаtе еmаіl nеwѕlеttеr арр nееdеd. And wіth the rісh amounts of data уоu hаvе іn уоur AсtіvеCаmраіgn CRM, уоu’ll bе аblе to tаrgеt уоur еmаіl tо thе rіght people bеttеr thаn ever. Go to the Campaigns menu and add New Campaign. Enter the name of your campaign such as: Academy Campaign and choose Campaign Type. ActiveCampaign allows you to choose 6 types of campaign:

• Standard (Mostly used type, used for sending a regular, one-time email campaign)
• Automated (Used for creating custom sequences of email actions and conditions)
• Auto Responder (An automated campaign that will send after someone subscribes.)
• Split Testing (Advanced type for comparing multiple emails, to test which work best)
• RSS Triggered (Sends emails every time your RSS-based feed is updated)
• Date Based (Sends emails on specific dates such as: contact birthdays, anniversaries, holidays etc…)

Image 9. Selecting a list for broadcasting our first campaign

Now we came to the designing part where you can choose one of the nicely designed templates for sending to your contacts. Select Standard and press the Next button. Choose your list and press Next. The designs are perfectly optimized and responsive for any phone, tablet, browser or email client. You can see the preview of the template before actually using it. You can design your own template from scratch, but we recommend to use some of the predefined templates just to avoid wasting time on testing on different platforms.

Image 10. Specifying the sender details for our first campaign

By pressing on the Continue button, you will be brought to the drag and drop editor for customizing for email. From here you can make any kind of customizations on your template. You can set the width of the template, the background color, and the alignment. On the Insert tab, you can insert text, images, buttons, videos, and many more features. There is no programming knowledge required with ActiveCampaign drag-and-drop еmаіl editor. For this tutorial purposes, we will choose a simple template Welcome Email and we will show you how can you customize it. Select Use this design and fulfill the fields for your company name, email address, and email subject. You can also change this information later. Also, you can make any kind of alignments by pressing on the Options tab. There’s option for adding borders, margins, paddings, changing the fonts, and much more. Play with the editor until you are completely satisfied with the design and press the Next button.

Image 11. Customizing our email with the drag-and-drop email editor

Now you are on the Summary section where you can make the final edits before sending the email. On this window there’s information about your overall campaign:

• Subject (You can edit the subject that you’ve entered when you first start with this campaign)
• List (You can also edit the list if you’ve changed your mind)
• Options
  • Open/Read Tracking (Track when a contact opens or reads your email)
  • Link Tracking (Track when a contact clicks a link in your email)
  • Reply Tracking (Track when a contact replies to your email)
  • Google Analytics (Use Google Analytics for in-depth insight into various tracking metrics)
  • Campaign Archive (If set to public, this campaign will be included in a public list of past sent campaigns)
• Delivery (Send now or schedule the campaign for later)
• Send Test Email (It’s very good idea to send test email to your email before running the campaign)
• Preview
  • Email client preview
  • Desktop preview
• Spam Check (Ensure green light here! You don’t want your emails to end up in the spam folder of your clients’ emails)

Image 12. Summary of our first campaign (we can make the final changes here)

Save the email if you plan to use the same email later. In most of the time, you’ll just need to save the emails in this step and use it later in the Automation section.   By pressing the Send Campaign Now button you will be asked to confirm the sending of your email. We’ve done everything right and now we are ready to send our nicely designed email to our contacts.

Image 13. Sending our first campaign

Congratulations!

You’ve successfully sent your first campaign. Now you can view your campaign and view the report of the campaign. Remember: In the free demo version of ActiveCampaign you are allowed to send up to 100 emails. Once you’ve reached that number, you can upgrade your account by clicking on your username on the top right corner and choosing Upgrade your account.

Create A Form With ActiveCampaign

Forms are used for collecting the emails of your audience. The forms may include just one field (email) or many fields like: first name, last name, email, address, etc. You can use many forms for your different lists or many forms for just one list, but we will keep our sales funnel very simple by using just one form for the Lead Magnet List. It will be enough to get the information of our potential customer once at the beginning and as we will proceed through our sales funnel, he will be transferred automatically to the corresponding list.

1. Navigate to Lists -> Lead Magnet List -> Integrations -> Forms
2. Choose: Create a new form
3. Name it: Lead Magnet Form
4. Choose a list: Lead Magnet List
5. Press OK

Image 14. Creating our first form for the Lead Magnet List

Now you are on the Form Designer window where you can make all kind of customizations to your form. There are many tools on the Build your subscription form panel located on the left. From here, by pressing just once on the options you can add different fields such as:

• Text inputs
• Text areas
• Date
• Drop downs
• List boxes
• Radio buttons
• Checkboxes
• Hidden fields

On the right, you can see the actual design of your form. Here elements can be rearranged by dragging them up and down. Also, they can by edited by pressing on the button Edit. On our form, we can add a Headline, an image (free form HTML), name and email field. The branding of ActiveCampaign at the bottom can be removed only in the paid versions.

Image 15. Drag-and-drop editor for designing our first form

Theme & Style Options

Image 16. Theme and style options for our form. We can also set here the width of the form

Save your form by pressing on the green Save button and move to the Theme & style options. From here you can choose different styles for your form, and you can specify the width of the form. This can be used for better fitting of the form to the sidebar of your website.

Single or Double Opt-in?

By selecting Opt-in confirmation email you will be asked to choose whether you like to use single or double opt-in. The principle behind double opt-in is very simple. By selecting the option Send confirmation email to verify contacts want to receive your email, your subscribers will receive a confirmation email (which can be fully customized with the below WYSIWYG editor) asking them to confirm if they want to be on your list. The advantage of using this double opt-in is the higher quality of your list, lower need to clean up your list and less spammy users. However, on the downside, you will have lower opt-in percentage of people subscribing and more steps to deliver your sales message. If you uncheck the option in the green box, you will be using single opt-in. The advantage of using single opt-in is having a greater opt-in percentage of people subscribing to your list, simple user experience, and being able to deliver your sales message more quickly. The disadvantage is that you will have a lower quality list that needs more often clean ups and more bounces from your actual list. Which option works the best? We will go with the double opt-in simple because of the greater quality, but it’s up to you to TEST which opt-in works best for you.

Image 17. Double opt-in mail customization (confirmation mail)

Form Settings

Form settings panel allows you to customize the message your users will be seeing after they opt-in, or set your custom made URL for redirecting after the opt-in. If you have your own “thank you” pages designed for confirmation or successful opt-in, you can set them up on this step. Just navigate to Form settings -> They will be directed to your subscription confirmation page -> Redirect to URL instead.

Form Integration With Your WordPress Site

There are few options for integrating the form you’ve created with your WordPress site. By navigating to Integrate with your site -> Add to WordPress you will see the Embeddable HTML that can be copied to your post/page or sidebar of your WordPress site.

Image 18. Embeddable HTML code for entering to your WordPress site

Let’s say you want this form to be placed in the sidebar of your website. Select the HTML code, copy it and go to your WordPress dashboard. Navigate to Appearance -> Widgets. Drag the Text widget from left to your sidebar on the right and paste there the HTML code that you’ve copied previously. Save it and now you’ve got the form on the sidebar of every page.

Image 19. Putting the Form code into the text widget on the sidebar

The other option for integrating your ActiveCampaign form to your WordPress site is by installing the ActiveCampaign plugin which requires a few steps for configuring. Go to your WordPress dashboard -> Plugins -> Add New -> Search for ActiveCampaign without space between. Now you need to configure the API settings for activating the plugin. Navigate to Settings -> ActiveCampaign. You need to enter your ActiveCampaign API URL and API Key. They can be found by going to your ActiveCampaign dashboard -> Click on your username in the top right corner and select -> My Settings. Navigate to Developer and under API access you will find the needed credentials for configuring the plugin.

Image 20. Finding the ActiveCampaign API credentials

Copy them and paste it to Settings -> ActiveCampaign. Now you’ve activated the plugin, and you can see below the additional sections from where you need to choose your form.

Image 21. Configuring the form for easily implementing in the WP posts/pages with the ActiveCampaign plugin

Add a new page (or post) and press the blue ActiveCampaign icon above the editor. Select the name of your form (in our case: Lead Magnet Form) and you will get the shortcode that can be used virtually everywhere on your website where you want to put your form. Select Keep original form CSS and Enable Site Tracking. Now you are ready to use your form in the post or pages of your site.

[activecampaign form=79]

Image 22. Showing our form on a page by using the shortcode

If you are working with the plugin, you DON’T need to use the Embeddable HTML. The shortcode can also be used in the sidebar, just this time when you put the Text widget to the sidebar you will just enter this shortcode.

Image 23. Using the ActiveCampaign shortcode in the sidebar

If you already have nicely designed forms by some third party plugins like Instabuilder or Optimizepress, just use the code in the <form> tag for implementing to the Instabuilder or OptimizePress form. We will show you how that is done in both cases.

Integrate ActiveCampaign Form With OptimizePress

For better integration, you can use the Email Marketing Services from OptimizePress dashboard and enter the ActiveCampaign API credentials there. But if for some reason you have an older version of OptimizePress, you won’t find ActiveCampaign integration in Email Marketing Services panel. That’s why we will show you how can you make the integration manually.

1. Go to OptimizePress -> Page Builder.
2. Give a title for the page.
3. Select Use a Content Template.
4. Choose some template from the predefined opt-in pages

Image 24. Choosing a page template in OptimizePress

5. Add Element: Optin Box (if it’s not already added the box; if it is – just Edit it)

Image 25. Adding Optin Box element in OptimizePress

6. Select your preferred design.
7. Choose Integration Type: Custom Form (If you have integrated Active Campaign from the OptimizePress Email Marketing Services, then choose here Integration Type: ActiveCampaign)

Image 26. Adding Form HTML code (only the form tag) in opt-in box element in OptimizePress

8. Edit the necessary content for your opt-in box in the ContentIn the Form HTML you need to place the Embeddable HTML code within the <form> tag WITHOUT the whole <style> tag. Here’s how it need to look like:
9. Edit the text in the Submit Button
10. You are done. Congratulations!

Integrate ActiveCampaign Form With InstaBuilder

Instabuilder has predefined opt-in templates as well. The process for integrating the ActiveCampaign form code into the Instabuilder is almost the same as that on OptimizePress.

1. Go to Instabuilder Dashboard -> New Page.
2. On the opt-in box press the gear icon Edit Configuration and expand the first feature Opt-In Form HTML Code.Select Template Type: Squeeze Pages and choose one of the templates

Image 27. Select page template in Instabuilder while creating new page

3. Now you need to paste the ActiveCampaign Embeddable HTML code here, but only the whole <form> No CSS selectors within a <style> are needed!
4. Click on the blue button Process and wait few seconds for opt-in form code to be processed.
5. Make the other text changes for the fields of the opt-in box if needed, and you are done integrating the ActiveCampaign form code with Instabuilder.
6. Make the other text changes for the fields of the opt-in box if needed, and you are done integrating the ActiveCampaign form code with Instabuilder.

And now we will show you how to make your own full-blown automation that is used by the top successful marketers in the internet marketing field. On the Automation tab, you can design your advanced marketing automation campaign. Having our successful sales funnel in mind, we will design our automation flowchart according to this principle:

The idea behind this principle is a little bit advanced, but we will simplify it as much as we can.

AUTOMATION PART 1

So, a user fills his name and email address in our form. He is automatically added to our Lead Magnet list. We are sending him a welcome mail (and optionally we can put him on our master list, in our case: Academy). We wait 1 day and we send our tripwire offer. If he bought our Tripwire product, we assume that our membership plugin will automatically put him on the Tripwire list. Our automation chart checks if the user is in the Tripwire list. If he IS, we remove him from Lead Magnet list, we wait 1 day and we start sending emails for our Core Product. If he IS NOT in the tripwire list, we start sending him tripwire follow-up email series (in our example, for simplicity, we will send only 2 follow-up emails, but you can send as much as you want).

Here’s how this process so far can be designed in our Automation flowchart…

Here’s how this process so far can be designed in our Automation flowchart…

1. Go to Automations -> New Automation
2. Give automation name for example: Sales Funnel

When you first enter the automation you need to choose how will a contact enter our automation. The provided options include triggers when the user:

• Subscribes
• Unsubscribes
• Submits a form
• Opens/reads an email
• Clicks a link in email
• Web page is visited
• Event is recorded
• Shares an email
• Forwards an email
• Replies to an email
• Tag is added
• Tag is removed
• Score changes
• Enters a pipeline
• Deal stage changes
• Deal status changes

3. Choose: Subscribes
4. Select list: Lead Magnet List
5. Runs: Multiple Times
6. Add Start

Here’s how our Automation flowchart looks so far:

This means that when the user put his name and email to our form, he will automatically subscribe to the Lead Magnet List and he will be automatically added to our Automation. Now, we will click on the + button to add an action: Send Email. We will create our Welcome mail like we’ve described previously and we will include our Lead Magnet product.

Once again we will use the + button to add a tag for our user for better filtering later. So click on the + button, select Contacts -> Add New Tag -> lead-magnet.

From Contacts panel there are few options that we will be using through our Automation. They include:

• Subscribe (used for subscribing to another list)
• Unsubscribe (used for unsubscribing from a certain list)
• Update contact (we can automatically make an update for our contact’s first name, last name, phone or organization)
• Add tag (we will be adding tags to our contacts according to the subscribed list, just for better filtering later)
• Remove tag (we will remove the tags once a user is transferred to another list)
• Add note (we can add some notes to our users that only we as admins can see it)
• Adjust score (adding or removing amounts of points from contact’s score)

It’s not necessary, but it’s a good idea all of your subscribers to be stored in one master list such as Academy in our case. So click on the + button and choose Contact -> Subscribe -> Academy. Here’s what we have so far:

After the welcome mail with our lead magnet product, we can wait one day before sending a mail with our Tripwire offer. So now we click on the + button and we select

After the welcome mail with our lead magnet product, we can wait one day before sending a mail with our Tripwire offer. So now we click on the + button and we select Conditions & workflow -> Wait -> For a specific period of time -> 1 day.

From the Conditions & workflow panel there are few features that we will use in our Automation. The features included in this panel are:

• Wait (we will use this option to include some waiting time before we automate some other task)
• If/Else (we will use this YES/NO condition for keeping the automation flow)
• Go to (this option is used when we don’t want to repeat some steps that we’ve used previously and just go to those previously created steps)
• Start an automation (we can start another automation within our automation)
• End this automation (when the flow is finished, we will use this option)
• End other automation
• Webhook

So we’ve waited 1 day and now we can send another mail with our Tripwire offer. Click on the + button -> Sending option -> Send email. We will create another mail just like previously including our tripwire offer.   It’s our recommendation to wait at least 1 day before sending new mails. That’s why we will once again click on the + button and select Conditions & workflow -> Wait -> For a specific period of time -> 1 day. Now it’s time to create the if/else condition to check if our user bought the tripwire product and to keep him in the Automation sales funnel. Press on the + button and go to Conditions & workflow -> If/Else. Select condition -> Actions -> In list -> Lead Magnet.

We assume that our membership plugin, after the buying of the Tripwire product, has put the user to our Tripwire list automatically (we will show you how to configure your membership for this in some other occasion). The Automation chart checks if the user is on the list. If he IS on the list (YES) we will remove the lead-magnet tag, we will unsubscribe him from the Lead Magnet List, and we will add new tag tripwire. If the user is NOT on the list (NO) then we will send a Tripwire follow-up email series, we will wait another day and we will check again if the user has bought the Tripwire product (if he is in the Tripwire List). If this criterion is met (YES) we will Go to another action to the previous step where the previous criterion was met (just not to repeat our procedure once again) If the criterion is NOT met (NO) we can continue by sending Follow-Up Emails and checking if the user has bought the tripwire product, until we decide to End this automation for this user.

Bellow the Add tag (tripwire) we will start sending emails for our Core Product. We will wait 1 day, and we will use if/else condition for checking if the user bought the Core Product (checking if he is in the Core Product List).

AUTOMATION PART 2

So we assume that the user decides to buy our Core Product, and our membership plugin puts him automatically in the Core Product List. That means that the criterion is in list Core Product List is satisfied (YES). We now can remove tag tripwire, unsubscribe the user from the Tripwire List and add tag core-product.

If he didn’t buy the Core Product yet, the user would NOT be automatically added to the Core Product List (NO), and we can start sending Core Product follow-up email series, wait 1 day between the emails and check if the user has bought the Core Product.  

Bellow the Add tag (core-product) we will start sending emails for our last Profit Maximizer Product. We will Wait for 1 day, and we will use if/else condition for checking if the user bought the Profit Maximizer Product (checking if he is in the Profit Maximizer List).

If the user decides to buy our Profit Maximizer Product, our membership plugin will put him automatically in the Profit Maximizer List. That means that the criterion is in Profit Maximizer List is satisfied (YES). We now can remove tag core-product, unsubscribe the user from the Core Product List, add tag profit-maximizer and now you can End this automation. If he didn’t buy our Profit Maximizer Product, the user would NOT be automatically added to the Profit Maximizer List (NO) and we can start sending Profit Maximizer follow-up email series, wait 1 day between the emails and check if the user has bought the Profit Maximizer.

And that’s it! Good job.

We hope that you get the idea on how to build your best sales funnel automation. We know that it may seem a bit complicated right now, but once you start building it, you will make the chart flow very easily all by yourself. However, if you still can’t figure out how our Automation can be designed, we have the perfect solution. We are giving you this very same completely designed Automation flow-chart, just for you to import it and make a few changes through a simple wizard (list name changes and email changes)

https://tplshare.com/X$pc385

Just go to Automation -> New Automation -> Or import an automation. Enter the link and press Import. Select Get Started and start configuring the Automation wizard according to your list names and email senders (the emails used are with dummy default text – you can edit them manually later).
