How to integrate your social media With ActiveCampaign
Connecting ActiveCampaign to social media
Is your business marketing using social media? Would you like to be able to connect all of your marketing communication channels and synchronize data from one to another? Well, it’s something that ActiveCampaign has been perfecting over time, and it’s potent enough to give you some outstanding results. Keep reading to learn how to connect your social media directly into ActiveCampaign and launch some automations based on your social media channel.
What social media can I connect?
Almost any social media. ActiveCampaign versatility and API integrations make it very easy to connect your social media channels to perform core operations in your marketing workflows. For instance, ActiveCampaigns native Facebook integrations make it possible to integrate your form directly into your Facebook page. Other integrations featured in ActiveCampaign’s app marketplace include Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn.
How does Facebook integration work?
After you create a new web form on your ActiveCampaign account, it allows you to integrate it natively into your Facebook Page account. Note that Facebook requires your business to have more than 2000 likes for this integration to work.
How does Twitter integration work?
Although this integration isn’t native, it’s done through Zapier. It only requires connecting both accounts, ActiveCampaign and Zapier, and the integration is ready to go. After the integration is completed, you can perform automations from your ActiveCampaign account, like creating a tweet when a new campaign is launched.
How does Instagram integration work?
With Instagram’s connection, you can trigger ActiveCampaigns actions after adding a new photo or video on Instagram. This way, you can send an email campaign promoting your latest product with a link to your Instagram account.
The benefits of connecting your social media to ActiveCampaign
1.- Manage all of your marketing from a single channel
Or at least have more control over it. For example, by connecting Facebook and Twitter, you can connect faster with your audiences, letting them know about your most recent products and deals.
2.- More chances of generating leads
If your marketing strategy relies mainly on email, you can boost your chances of generating leads by connecting your email marketing with your social media. Send an email to the users visiting your Facebook page or add them to a campaign straight after you tweet.
3.- A seamless experience for your teams
Suppose your business relies on different teams and staff, like a social media team and an email marketing one. In that case, they’ll be able to streamline their work when both communication channels are interconnected.
