How to Send Leads to ActiveCampaign

Integrating your Shop Quiz: Product Recommendation Quiz with ActiveCampaign allows for a seamless transition of valuable customer data directly into your email marketing campaigns and CRM management.

This guide will navigate you through the steps to link your quiz with ActiveCampaign, enabling you to use quiz data for targeted follow-ups and enhanced customer engagement.

Before you begin, ensure you have:

  • An active ActiveCampaign account.
  • A quiz built on the Shop Quiz: Product Recommendation Quiz platform.

  1. Open the Quiz Builder.
  2. Click on the Connect tab located at the top of the screen to access the integration settings.
  3. In the integration options, locate ActiveCampaign and copy the API Token. You'll need it later. how to send leads to activecampaign

Alternatively, you can initiate the connection from within ActiveCampaign:

  1. Go to the Apps menu in ActiveCampaign and search for Product Recommendation Quiz.
  2. Select the quiz icon and follow the provided setup instructions. During the setup process, you will be prompted to enter your ActiveCampaign API Token. This token is essential for linking the quiz data with your ActiveCampaign account and can be found in the Connect > ActiveCampaign section of the app.

Note

Note that the Quiz is only responsible for sending the raw data, you will have to configure a flow or any other custom event you wish to make with the data within ActiveCampaign in itself, and any questions regarding this process should be asked to ActiveCampaign’s support team directly.

Adding custom information to the Contact profile

With the quiz integrated, you might want to enhance contact profiles with additional custom information derived from quiz results.

Here’s a list of additional custom information that can be added to your contact profile:

  • Email
  • First Name
  • Full Name
  • Quiz ID

Unfortunately, for now, the only information about the recommended products we’re able to send to Activecampaign is the Recommended Product IDs. This is not enough information to display the whole list of recommended products.

To show any products in an ActiveCampaign you may need to connect your ActiveCampaign to Shopify first. Then by adding a product block, you should be able to display products from specific collections. It could be possible to add multiple product blocks and have them shown or hidden based on the recommended product ID, however, this option has not been yet tested thoroughly.
