This guide walks you through adding an ActiveCampaign action to a Zaplane workflow, so that whenever your trigger runs, Zaplane can automatically add or update a contact in ActiveCampaign. Make sure your workflow already has a trigger set up before starting these steps.
Step 1: Create a Workflow
Go to Zaplane > Workflows from your WordPress dashboard, then click Create Workflow to open the workflow editor.
Before adding an ActiveCampaign action, you need to set up a trigger first. Here is how to do it quickly:
- Click Select an app under the Trigger box, then choose Apps.
- Search for and select your trigger app — in this example, we are using aBlocks Contact Form.
- Choose the Trigger Type that matches the event you want to watch for, then click Continue.
- On the Configure tab, set up any required options, then click Continue.
- On the Test tab, click Test Trigger to confirm it is working correctly, then click Save.
Once your trigger is saved, proceed to the next step to add the ActiveCampaign action.
Step 2: Add an Action
On your workflow canvas, click the + icon next to your trigger to open the Add Action panel.
Step 3: Select the App
Click Apps to browse available apps, then search for and select ActiveCampaign from the list.
Step 4: Choose the Action Type
Several action types are available for ActiveCampaign. For this guide, select Add/Update Contact, then click Continue.
Step 5: Configure the Action
On the Configure tab, map the Email Address field to the email data coming from your trigger, and fill in First Name, Last Name, and Phone as needed — either with static text or by mapping dynamic data from earlier steps. Click Continue when done.
Step 6: Test the Action
On the Test tab, click Test Action to run the action with sample data and confirm it works as expected. Once the test succeeds, click Save.
Step 7: Update and Activate the Workflow
Back on the workflow canvas, click Update to save your changes, and make sure the workflow status is set to Active. You can view execution resultsat any time inm the Logs.
Done!
Your Zaplane workflow is now connected to ActiveCampaign. Every time the trigger runs, the contact will be automatically added or updated in ActiveCampaign.
