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 new lead details between systems creates delay and leaves contacts out of marketing follow-up.

- Keep new prospects visible in ActiveCampaign
- Skip leads without an email and report the issue

Questions about this workflow
What happens if a Salesforce lead has no email address?
The instruction can tell Notis to skip that lead and include it in the run report, because ActiveCampaign requires an email address to create a contact.
Does this update an existing ActiveCampaign contact?
This workflow creates a contact. Ask Notis to check for an existing contact first if you want a separate update or deduplication process.
