About Kissflow's ActiveCampaign Integration
Kissflow Integration's ActiveCampaign connector lets you connect ActiveCampaign instantly with Kissflow apps and other popular third-party applications. To integrate with ActiveCampaign, you must have a valid ActiveCampaign account as well as be a Kissflow paid customer. You can use the ActiveCampaign connector to receive data from other flows or apps in order to perform specific ActiveCampaign actions. For the time being, the ActiveCampaign connector does not support any trigger events.
For instance, you can use the ActiveCampaign connector to create a personalized email subscriber list in ActiveCampaign. Hence, each time a new subscriber sends you an email, they will then be automatically captured in your ActiveCampaign contact list.
