ActiveCampaign is an effective solution for marketing automation and sales management. The CRM module of the platform allows you to process customer/order data and promote deals through the sales funnel. With ActiveCampaign, you can set up transparent workflows and increase employee productivity. CRM-system offers a clear structure and user-friendly interface.

Deals are one of the most important sections of the ActiveCampaign CRM system. This is where the data on customers and requests is located, and the lead moves through the stages of the sales funnel. The ActiveCampaign platform offers a wide range of functionality for working with deals. Users can track progress on a Kanban board, set up sales pipelines, use tags, create tasks, add notes, and more.

Deals in ActiveCampaign can be created manually. Press the “New Deal” button, enter the data and save. But if you manually enter tens and hundreds of leads, the process will take a lot of working time. And do not forget that this is a regular task. The solution to the problem is the introduction of automation. For example, you use Facebook Lead Ads for lead generation and transfer information from the Facebook advertising account to the ActiveCampaign CRM system. If you create an integration of these two platforms, you can set up automatic data transfer. As a result, new Facebook leads will be converted into ActiveCampaign deals without human intervention.

How to set up Facebook and ActiveCampaign integration

Our task is to create an automated process “uploading data on new Facebook leads - creating deals in ActiveCampaign”. To set up the integration, we will use the SaveMyLeads service. This is an online connector that allows you to connect Facebook ad account with other systems. In our case, ActiveCampaign CRM acts as a data receiver. The SaveMyLeads service will track new Facebook leads, upload the necessary data, and initiate the creation of a deal on the ActiveCampaign side.

Integration is configured through a web interface. Working with the SML system does not require special knowledge or skills. To get rid of the manual transfer of leads from Facebook to the ActiveCampaign CRM system, you will need access to these two platforms and a little time.
