You can use automation actions in ActiveCampaign to create new leads and contacts in your Microsoft Dynamics 365 account.
Take note
- You must have the Microsoft Dynamics integration configured to use these automation actions
- Only leads and contacts who reach these actions in your automations will be synced to Microsoft Dynamics
How the automation actions work
To add new contacts and leads in Microsoft Dynamics from ActiveCampaign, you'll need to create an automation that uses one of the following two automation actions:
- Create a lead in Microsoft Dynamics
- Create a contact in Microsoft Dynamics
Once a contact in ActiveCampaign reaches either action in your automation, they:
- Will have tags added to their profile page in ActiveCampaign:
- If synced as a lead: [D365: Lead] [D365: Pulled from ActiveCampaign]
- If synced as a contact: [D365: Contact] [D365: Pulled from ActiveCampaign]
- Will be queued to sync to Microsoft Dynamics
- Will be added to Microsoft Dynamics as soon as the next scheduled sync runs
