WordPress ActiveCampaign Plugins to Enhance Your Marketing

Last Updated March 13, 2023

ActiveCampaign is an email marketing and automation software that helps businesses manage and automate their marketing efforts. It allows businesses to create and send automated marketing emails, track email engagement, and create marketing automation workflows. This is an incredibly powerful marketing software that, as a standalone product, can help you grow your business. For sites running on WordPress, there are also ways to connect with ActiveCampaign to get even more out of this one-of-a-kind marketing solution. Let’s look at some WordPress ActiveCampaign plugins that are available right now to tie these two applications together.

Popular WordPress ActiveCampaign Plugins

These WordPress ActiveCampaign plugins are available to download from WordPress.org. You can download them from the plugin repository and then install them manually. Or, if you are less technical, you can install and activate them from the Plugins area of the WordPress admin.

We’ve done our best to summarize the features in each of these plugins to give you the best understanding of their capabilities. We hope, by the end, you’ll find one or two to use to combine the power of ActiveCampaign and WordPress together.

Oh, and before we start. Please note that all of these plugins require a working ActiveCampaign account. They have a free trial available if you want to get started at no cost but, eventually, you will have to pay.

ActiveCampaign for WordPress

Let’s start our look at WordPress ActiveCampaign plugins by discussing the plugin from the company itself. The ActiveCampaign for WordPress plugin lets you embed ActiveCampaign forms directly inside of your content. That means posts, pages, or your sidebar.

This plugin lets you track your visitors as well as enable live chat for accounts. With ActiveCampaign site tracking, you’ll be able to tell which products, services, and information your viewers prefer the most. With this knowledge, you can send personalized emails to boost revenue. You can also identify which customers are ready to buy and send emails to those who need an extra push. The ActiveCampaign for WordPress plugin can also keep your visitors engaged by bringing up interesting and relevant content to keep them around and coming back for more.

As a whole, this plugin in turn helps your WordPress site use and drive smarter and more personalized marketing promotions for better and more sustained results.

Here’s a very SEO-optimized plugin. Contact Form 7 ActiveCampaign is named in such a way that you’ll have no problem figuring out what it does. This is a simple plugin that brings form submissions and data from Contact Form 7 into ActiveCampaign whenever anyone submits a form.

You can connect multiple ActiveCampaign accounts to Contact Form 7 because the plugin supports multiple API keys. You may filter your Contact Form 7 submissions sent to ActiveCampaign based on the user’s input. This is usually used for those who would tick the newsletter subscription checkbox and the like. Using a handy button within the plugin, you can manually send form submissions to ActiveCampaign as well.

You may view detailed logs of each submission including its send status. Site owners can resend a submission with no hassle if needed. If a member already exists as a contact, you can choose to update it or create a new member. To set up, all you need to do is:

That’s the end of our look at WordPress ActiveCampaign plugins. Whether you are an existing ActiveCampaign customer or looking to give it a try, one of the plugins will certainly help your business grow.

Keep in mind that while these plugins are all free that ActiveCampaign is not. Also, some of these plugins offer paid or premium versions with additional features. We recommend doing more research into those before jumping in and making a purchase right away. In general, if the free version has problems than the paid version will have issues as well.
