Integrate Active Campaign with Zoho SalesIQ

Integrating Active Campaign with SalesIQ

What is ActiveCampaign?

ActiveCampaign is a cloud software platform for small-to-mid-sized businesses that offers software for customer experience automation (CXA), which combines the email marketing, marketing automation, sales automation, and CRM categories.

Integrating ActiveCampaign with SalesIQ

  1. Navigate to Settings > Developer Space > Integrations > Email Marketing > ActiveCampaign.
  1. Inside the ActiveCampaign dashboard you will find two sections : Identifier Link and Smart Identifier Link.

As you click on these, both sections have disclaimers on privacy concerns displayed. The same can also be viewed within both sections by clicking on View at the top.

 

Privacy concerns

Using Identifiers might result in some privacy concerns for the visitors.
  1. If your visitor opens the identifiers link to visit your website, their details might appear in the URL and this information maybe exposed to advertisers and might affect your visitors' google search results.
  2. If your visitors' access the links while on a public wifi, their name and email will be exposed.
  1. Identifier links help you find the name and email of the visitor visiting your website by clicking on the link from the campaign. 
  2. You need to paste the link you embed in the campaign - the one that directs visitors to your website in the Enter the Website Link field and click Generate. The identifier params will be added to the link. Then, you can copy the link generated and add it to the email.
Smart Identifiers are nothing but a 1x1 pixel tracking image attached to the email campaigns, The identifier params are added to the link. You can copy and use the link to your 'email content' to identify the recipients name and email when they visit your website by clicking on the link in the campaign.

 

Smart identifiers will not work in the following conditions:

  1. If the recipient has disabled the image loading option in the email client.

  2. If the image is stored and served from the email server (Eg: Gmail)


How to identify the name and email address of visitors redirected from Active Campaign emails?

You can identify the website visitors from Active Campaign by adding the SalesIQ parameter mentioned below after the back links (which direct the customer to your website) in the campaign emails.

Example:

Note:
In case the URL contains a question mark (?) at its suffix, then you will have to include the back link preceded by an ampersand (&) symbol.

Example:
  1. http://www.yourlink.com/ /index.php?module=Products&siq_name=%FIRSTNAME% %LASTNAME%&siq_email=%EMAIL%
If not, then include the back link preceded by the question mark (?) as shown below.

Example:
