1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for ActiveCampaign and MySQL Integration

To start the integration process, access Pabbly Connect by signing up for a free account. Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard and click on ‘Create Workflow’. Name your workflow, for instance, ‘ActiveCampaign to MySQL’, and click on ‘Create’ to proceed.

In the newly created workflow, you will see two main sections: the Trigger window and the Action window. This setup allows you to automate the process where every time a new contact is added in ActiveCampaign, the same details will be sent to your MySQL database through Pabbly Connect.

2. Connecting ActiveCampaign to Pabbly Connect

In the Trigger window, search for ActiveCampaign and select it. From the Trigger Event dropdown, choose ‘Contact Added’. This event will trigger the automation whenever a new contact is added in ActiveCampaign.

Next, click on ‘Connect’ and then select ‘Add New Connection’. You will need to enter your ActiveCampaign API Key and API URL. To find these, go to your ActiveCampaign account, access the settings, and navigate to the Developers section. Copy the API Key and URL, ensuring to remove the ‘https://’ part before pasting it into Pabbly Connect.

3. Creating MySQL Connection in Pabbly Connect

After successfully connecting ActiveCampaign, scroll to the Action window and search for MySQL. Select it and choose the action event as ‘Insert Row’. Click on ‘Connect’ and then select ‘Add New Connection’ to link your MySQL database with Pabbly Connect.

You will need to provide your MySQL username, password, hostname, database name, and port. Once entered, click on ‘Save’. If you have already created a connection, you can select it from the existing connections list. After connecting, select the MySQL table where you want to insert new rows.

• Enter MySQL Username and Password
• Provide Hostname, Database Name, and Port
• Select the Table for Inserting Data

After selecting the table, map the fields from the ActiveCampaign response to the corresponding columns in your MySQL table. This ensures that the data is inserted correctly whenever a new contact is added through Pabbly Connect.

4. Testing the Integration Workflow

To test the integration, add a dummy contact in your ActiveCampaign account. You can do this either by manually adding a contact or using a form you created. For example, enter a name, email, and mobile number, then submit the form.

Once the contact is added, return to Pabbly Connect and check the Trigger window. You should see the details of the newly added contact. If the details appear correctly, proceed to test the MySQL action by clicking ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will confirm that the data is being inserted into your MySQL database as intended.

5. Finalizing the Automation with Pabbly Connect

After confirming the data is correctly added to your MySQL table, finalize the workflow by saving it. You can now automate the process, ensuring that every new contact added in ActiveCampaign is reflected in your MySQL database without manual intervention.

For ongoing testing, you can continue to add new contacts in ActiveCampaign. Each time a new contact is added, the details will automatically populate in your MySQL database, showcasing the efficiency of using Pabbly Connect for integration.
