Hello! I need your help how to set up an automation to organize the distribution of leads among users. I collect all leads from one source. I would like to distribute leads evenly among the users. Example 1: I have 2 users and collect 300 leads per month. I would like to set an automation that will distribute 150 leads to user no.1 and 150 leads to user no.2 in the way that every 1., 3., 5., 7., 9…lead will get the 1. user and every 2., 4., 6., 8., 10… lead will get the second user. Example 2: I have 3 users and collect 300 leads per month. The User no.1 will get the 1., 4., 7., 10… lead; the user no.2 will get 2., 5., 8., 11… lead; the user no.3 will get 3., 6., 9., 12…lead. I do not want that the distribution of leads would be like that the first 150 leads will get the user no.1 and the next 150 leads will get the user no.2. I would like that the leads would be evenly distributed over a period of time. How can I achieve this? Is it possible with automation? Thanks for your help. Izto

Hi there, when I go to my Lists, the page says: 404 Not found.It seems we have run into an issue loading your lists. Please try again… What can I do to fix it? Kind regards

I integrated an Active Campaign form on my website. I added a custom field where people have to check a box that asks the question ‘what work do you do?’. An automation is activated when people complete en send the form. The first thing this automation does, is giving people a tag that matches the box they checked, when filling in my form. I should be able to see this tag, when clicking on a persons profile or when I segment the contact list, by using this tag. This doesn’t work.The tag also doesn’t appear when I want to segment all my contacts. There are a few other options to give people a tag, but no other way that connects to the different boxes in my custom field. What am I doing wrong?

I tested my email campaign today to see if the emails would send properly. It’s all good EXCEPT if I click the link in an email to buy my product I’m still getting the other emails after that as if I didn’t buy it yet. What should I do to make sure the emails stop sending after the product is bought?

If you are the Primary Admin for your ActiveCampaign account, you can grant purchase access to another user in your Admin user group. Granted Billing permissions let the Admin user update the billing method and period, adjust the contact count, add account users, change plans, set email send limits, and purchase add-ons and SMS credits. Billing access can be granted to both current and new users in the Admin group. How to grant purchase permissions From your ActiveCampaign account, click “Settings” (gear icon). Click “Users and groups” located on the secondary menu. Locate the Admin user to whom you wish to grant billing and purchase access, then click the “Edit” button. If this user is not in your account, click the “Add a new user” option. Then, proceed to create the new user. Note that this user must be part of the Admin group A modal window will appear.

Has anyone integrated Referral Hero platform and campaigns with Active Campaign? If yes, how did you handle running simultaneous (three) “Referral Campaigns” at the same time? When integrated with AC, Referral Hero creates new Custom Fields and then sends referree data to AC. This is all fine until a contact signs up using a different Referral Hero campaign. Then custom fields are overwritten with the new campaign information. We are also in contact with Referral Hero support as well.

The Google sheet integration was supposed to scan for newly added rows every 60 min and import contacts to the automated email drip. But new contacts added a day ago did not appear in the queue. What settings do I need to make to ensure this flow is automated? Thanks

Hi All, I’m sporadically getting 500 errors when subscribing contacts to a list. Even though the API returns a 500 error, the contact is still subscribed. Any ideas on how this can be fixed or what’s causing it?

Message variables are a body of text that you can assign a personalization tag to for use in any campaign email (including those sent from an automation). They are similar to custom fields, but not the same: Whereas custom fields pull values from contact records, message variables pull one constant value from a single place within ActiveCampaign. There are lots of ways to use a Message Variable in your campaigns. For example, you can use a variable for an email signature or a variable for a disclaimer. There is no limit to the number of Message Variables you can create. To access Message Variables, navigate to Campaigns in the left menu then Click “Message Variables.” Then, follow these instructions below to create a Message Variable: Type the Message Variable name into the “Personalization Name” field. The Message Variable name is internal only and should be something that you recognize. For example, if you want to create a signature message variable, you can call this “Signature.”

Hi, is it possible to send the same email multiple times through automation? I can’t find the option, so for now I copy the e-mail a few times and then have it sent with a schedule on the desired date. It could be much easier with an automation but this only works via certain triggers, sending an e-mail is not one of them. Or am I missing the point?

Recently we received several emails from prospects of us that say our websites arent safe and they dont want to click on it - it seems that active campaign got on to a “not safe” list. This is a very bad situation as most customers wont get in touch with us and just close the site and will never access it. Did you also get emails like that? What can I/we do about it ?

i am lately receiving emails from the emails address like this. no-reply+mywebsite.com.0@myactivecampaign.com why not from noreply@mywebsite.com

Hello. I need your help. I want to set an automation. I have multiple pipelines. Some contacts are placed in all pipelines, some are placed in just couple of them. Every pipeline is managed by a diferent user. I created a tags one for each pipeline and these tags will be given to contact when the contacts deal status is changed to WON. I would like to set an automation that the contact will receive a specific tag that depends on in which pipeline the contact deal status in changed to WON. Example: contact deal status is changed to WON in pipeline no. 3 - this contact will receive a tag3. Example 2: contact deal status is changed to WON in pipeline no. 5 - this contact will receive a tag5. How can I do that. Thanks for your help, Iztok

Endpoint: /contacts/{contactID}/contactAutomations?limit=20&orders[lastdate]=DESC Is there a way to filter by seriesid or automation (id)? Thanks.

Hello. I need your help. I want to set an automation. I have 5 diferent pipelines. Some contacts/deals are placed in all 5 pipelines, some are placed in 4 pipelines, some contacts/deals are in 3 pipelines… Every pipeline is managed by different user. I would like to set the starting trigger of an automation when the contacts deal status changes to “LOST” in all pipelines which the contact is placed in. If the contacts deal status is WON or still OPEN in some of teh pipelines, the contact is not entering the automation. So the contact would start an automation the same moment when has the status LOST in all pipelines where the contact is placed in. How can I do that. Thanks for your help, Iztok
