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 it runs, in about ten minutes.
No setup fee, cancel any month, and a person on live chat if a key doesn't work.

What moves, and when
The details you would normally get after a sales call. Here they are up front.
| What | Direction | When | Rule |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |

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 the same day and build into the same account.
