ActiveCampaign and Slack, ready to switch on

New subscribers on the lists you choose land in a Slack channel, every campaign says when it went out and to how many, and one morning message carries yesterday's unsubscribes and bounces. You paste two keys in your account and we switch it on for you.

No setup fee, cancel any month, and a person on live chat if a key doesn't work.

New subscriber to the channel	ActiveCampaign to Slack	Within seconds	Name, email and the list they joined, in the channel you choose
Campaign went out	ActiveCampaign to Slack	Within minutes of the send	Subject, list and how many it went to, so support is not surprised by the replies
Click from someone you care about	ActiveCampaign to Slack	Within seconds	Only for the tags or lists you nominate, so the channel stays worth reading
Unsubscribes and bounces	ActiveCampaign to Slack	Daily at 09:00, your time zone	Yesterday's opt-outs and hard bounces in one message
Duplicate check	ActiveCampaign to Slack	Every event	One subscriber is one post; a repeat event lands in the same thread where the channel keeps threads

Paste the ActiveCampaign API key and the Slack bot token
- ActiveCampaign API key: in ActiveCampaign open Settings in the left menu, then Developer. Full ActiveCampaign guide
- Slack bot token: open api.slack.com/apps and create an app from scratch in your workspace. Full Slack guide
Each screen carries the full guide with the exact menu names, about seven minutes for both.
We check both keys

Each key is checked against ActiveCampaign's and Slack's own API the moment you paste it. If one doesn't pass, the screen says what to fix, and a person joins the chat if that isn't enough.
Add one test subscriber, then we switch it on

A minute or two. Add a subscriber to the list you chose and watch the post arrive in the channel. From then on we watch it for you. A person checks the setup and switches it on, within a working day.

When ActiveCampaign or Slack changes its API, we fix it within a working day. You don't get a ticket to solve.

Before you decide

Won't this bury the channel?

It only posts what you name: certain lists, certain tags, certain campaigns. A shop with thousands of signups usually posts the daily line and nothing else.

Can we send a campaign from the chat?

No, and on purpose. Sending is a decision that belongs in ActiveCampaign, with its lists and its consent. This is the read side.

Anything to know about ActiveCampaign?

The API key belongs to the user who made it, so the integration acts with that user's permissions and shows up in the account as that user.

Anything to know about Slack?

The bot has to be invited to a channel before it can post there; that's one command in Slack.

What if mine is a bit different?

Tell us what should go where in plain words. Small changes to the rules above are usually free; bigger ones we price within a working day and build into the same account.
