How this automation works

Create or update ActiveCampaign contacts automatically from new Google Sheets rows. When you add a new row to a specified Google Sheets spreadsheet, this Applet creates or updates a contact in ActiveCampaign using the row's data. Useful for syncing leads, form exports, or offline signups kept in Google Sheets into ActiveCampaign for sales and marketing workflows.
