Setting Up Pabbly Connect for ActiveCampaign

To automate contact creation in ActiveCampaign from Contact Form 7 submissions, you first need to set up Pabbly Connect. This tool allows you to easily create automations without coding. Start by signing into your Pabbly account.

Once logged in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard where you can create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and name your workflow, for instance, ‘Create or Update ActiveCampaign Contact on Contact Form 7 Submission’.

Configuring the Trigger with Contact Form 7

The next step involves setting up the trigger for your workflow. Choose Contact Form 7 as your trigger application in Pabbly Connect. This will be the event that starts the automation process whenever a new form submission occurs.

To configure the trigger, you will need the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect. Follow these steps:

  • Copy the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect.
  • Go to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to Contact Form 7.
  • Edit the form you want to connect and paste the webhook URL in the Webhook field.

After saving the changes, your Contact Form 7 is now connected to Pabbly Connect. This means that every time a form is submitted, the data will be sent to Pabbly Connect.

Setting Up ActiveCampaign as an Action

Now that the trigger is configured, the next step is to set ActiveCampaign as the action application in your workflow. Select ActiveCampaign from the list of applications in Pabbly Connect.

To proceed, you will need to connect your ActiveCampaign account. Enter your API URL and Key, which you can find in your ActiveCampaign account under the Developer section. This connection allows Pabbly Connect to create or update contacts in your ActiveCampaign account based on the form submissions.

Mapping Fields for Contact Creation

With the connection established, it’s time to map the fields from Contact Form 7 to ActiveCampaign. This step is crucial to ensure that the data submitted through the form is accurately recorded in your ActiveCampaign account.

In the mapping section of Pabbly Connect, you will see the fields from your Contact Form 7 submission. Match these fields to the corresponding fields in ActiveCampaign, such as:

  • First Name
  • Last Name
  • Email

After mapping all necessary fields, click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button. This will test the connection and ensure that the data is being sent correctly to ActiveCampaign.

Testing and Verifying the Automation

The final step is to test your automation to ensure everything is working correctly. Go back to your Contact Form 7 and submit a test entry. After submission, return to Pabbly Connect and check the webhook response for the submitted data.

If the test was successful, you should see the new contact created in your ActiveCampaign account. Verify that all fields are populated accurately. This confirms that your automation is set up correctly and will work for future submissions.
