Creating automations is simple using ActiveCampaign’s drag and drop builder.
Site Tracking
ActiveCampaign’s site tracking allows you to track of contacts that have been on your website and on what pages. This lets you know what products, services and information your contacts are interested in, giving you the ability to send them customised follow up at the right time. The information that you collect from using site tracking can be used to segment your contacts and to trigger automations.
Event Tracking
Event tracking allows you to keep track of all actions and interactions your contacts are making with your business. Use event tracking to track email opens, button clicks, logins, video views and more. Use this data to send relevant and timely content back to your contacts.
