Keep newly created Salesforce contacts available for marketing follow-up without a second round of data entry.

Trigger

New Contact Trigger

Triggers when a new Contact is Created in Salesforce.

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

New contacts can be missing from ActiveCampaign until someone remembers to add them by hand.

  • Reduce repeat data entry
  • Make new contacts available for outreach
  • Report records that lack the required email

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Salesforce and ActiveCampaign once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation by telling Notis to create an ActiveCampaign contact from each new Salesforce contact with an email address.
  • 3Pick the Salesforce New Contact trigger.
  • 4Choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real Salesforce contact.

Questions about this workflow

Can a contact without an email be created in ActiveCampaign?

The ActiveCampaign create contact action requires an email. Have Notis skip records without one and report them.

Will existing ActiveCampaign contacts be merged?

This action creates a contact. If deduplication matters, include a check for an existing email in the instruction and test the behavior with a real example.
