Keep promising conversations close at hand. Notis can create a contact in ActiveCampaign when a new prospect emails you.

Trigger

New Gmail Message Received Trigger

Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.

Action

Create contact

Creates a new contact in activecampaign with the specified details. this action allows you to create a new contact with basic information like email, name, phone, organization details, and tags. the email address is the only required field, while all other fields are optional.

Why this helps

Copying a prospect's details from Gmail into ActiveCampaign adds admin work and makes it easy for a lead to slip through.

  • Reduce manual contact entry after a prospect reaches out.
  • Keep new inbound leads available for marketing and sales follow-up.
  • Spend less time switching between Gmail and ActiveCampaign.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Gmail and ActiveCampaign once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language.
  • 3Describe that new prospect emails should create an ActiveCampaign contact, using the sender's available details.
  • 4Choose the new Gmail message trigger and where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real prospect email and check the resulting contact.

Questions about this workflow

Which emails can start this workflow?

It starts when Gmail receives a new message. Tell Notis how to recognize a prospect from the information available in the message.

What if the email does not include a name?

The ActiveCampaign create contact action requires an email address. Other contact details are optional, so Notis can use details present in the message.
