Tip

These triggers can be a variety of things that you can choose from the drop down menu.

Instant = Automation starts as soon as “X” event happens
Daily = Automation starts On/During/After specific day


Finally once you select your trigger and give it a “Event_ID” (Please keep this as short and easy as possible, separate words with “_”. After that’s done click on the “Add Automation Event” after which we will go to “Access Marketing Portal” that will take us to ActiveCampaign panel.

Adding an event to the ActiveCampaign tracker

Once we have added a trigger from the admin backend we need to link it and track it with ActiveCampaign, once you see the ActiveCampaign panel you will click on the bottom settings button as seen in the photo below and go to “Tracking” tab.

Once here you will copy the “Event_ID” that you created for that trigger in the field seen below named “Add Event” and click on ADD. This will allow our Admin Backend and ActiveCampaign to be linked for THIS SPECIFIC TRIGGER.

New automations will require the same steps.
