Create an ActiveTrail contact for every new Zendesk user
Capture new user details once and keep them available for future campaigns.
Trigger
New User Created
Triggered when a new user is created in Zendesk.
Action
Create Contact
Tool to create a new contact in ActiveTrail. Use when you need to add a new contact to the system. Note: Newly created contacts won't be linked to any group, making email/SMS delivery impossible until assigned to a group. Either email or sms must be provided.
Why this helps
Copying user details between support and marketing tools creates delays and duplicate work.
- Captures contacts without manual entry
- Keeps acquisition records centralized
- Supports later group assignment

Questions about this workflow
Will the new contact be in a group?
No. Newly created ActiveTrail contacts are not linked to a group unless you use a group membership action separately.
What if the Zendesk user has no email?
ActiveTrail requires either an email or SMS value, so the workflow needs one of those details to create the contact.
