How to Set Up ActiveCampaign Integration

Select Form Element

To start the integration process, you need one of the Form Input elements. So, you can either choose a popup with a form input element or add one. Then, on the Customize step, click on the related element.

A form input element helps you only collect the data that your visitors or customers share with you on your popup. So, the integration hosts the carrying of data to the related CRM.
