It’s never been more important to keep in touch with customers, and if you’ve ever wondered how to automatically add contacts to Active Campaign from Pipedrive then we have a really simple solution.

As many CRMs don’t have built-in email marketing modules there are a few options for ensuring all your customers are kept in the loop.  You could add them manually but that is time-consuming and prone to error (or forgetting!).   You could shell out on a third-party app to keep the systems in sync but our favourite way to automatically add contacts is using Zapier!

Although our demo uses Active Campaign and Pipedrive you can use a multitude of other email platforms and CRMs too.

 

Our video demonstrates how to automatically add contacts to Active Campaign from Pipedrive

Our latest video shows the exact steps to automatically add contacts to Active Campaign from Pipedrive.  Both of these apps connect with over 6,000 others using Zapier, using no-code integrations that are super easy to configure.

As a bonus, we also show you how to set up a filter in Pipedrive so that you can segment your data and easily trigger other Zapier automations.

 

Zapier steps to add contacts to Active Campaign from Pipedrive

Our video walks you through this simple three-step zap to sync your contacts in Pipedrive with Active Campaign.

The steps are:

  • Create a trigger event for a person matching a filter in Pipedrive (“customer” is the filter).
  • Create/update the contact in Active Campaign.
  • Add the contact to an automation in Active Campaign.

Other apps for connecting your email platform with your CRM

If you use a different email platform then this integration will work equally well, for apps such as Mailchimp, MailerLite, and ConvertKit.

Other CRMs that have pre-built Zapier integrations include Salesforce, Dubsado, and Hubspot.

It is really easy to synchronise contacts from your CRM into your email marketing tool using Zapier, and will save you so much time.  It also eliminates the worry of miskeying the data, and there’s nothing worse than emailing a customer using the wrong name!
