With ActiveCampaign, you can receive a notification when a contact submits your form.
Take note
To avoid deliverability issues with sending and receiving notifications, use a “To” email address that differs from your “From” email address. If your “To” and “From” email addresses use the same domain, for example, “@mycompany.com,” you may need to whitelist our IP ranges to avoid deliverability issues.
Learn more about our Mail Server IP Ranges.
