It is so wide that I find myself a little overwhelmend on how to take as much as possible from the system without burning out.

I am in the 2,500 contacts bracket, and I think its price is fair. But when I have to sacle it up, it will seem pricy

The flexibility of the tool is something I really like. It's quite easy to use your own email templates, which are (as long as you keep it simple) completely adjustable as well as responsive. Besides that, the automation part is working like a charm. By using your own tags and fields you can practically do anything you want.

I am still trying to figure out how to set up a link with our current CRM. As ActiveCampaign has their own CRM built in, this is not one of the key futures. For our business however, we only use ActiveCampaign for the e-mail marketing and automations (so only the marketing department is using this tool). The entire company is built on the use of our CRM, so we'd like to see all of the ActiveCampaign data on there for a complete report.

For small businesses with limited budgets, affordable pricing plans are available. The marketing automation features are powerful and come with a variety of triggers and actions. The email builder is user-friendly and easy to use, with pre-built templates and drag-and-drop functionality. Personalized email campaigns with dynamic content are possible, thanks to advanced segmentation and targeting options. Integration with popular e-commerce platforms allows for automated abandoned cart emails and product recommendations, with a variety of popular apps and tools. Customer support and resources, including live chat and a knowledge base, are excellent.

Small businesses with limited budgets may find the pricing for this marketing automation tool to be high. Although the software includes some features such as CRM, they may not be as advanced as dedicated CRM software. The learning curve for more advanced automation workflows can be steep for beginners, and the reporting and analytics are limited compared to other marketing automation tools. Additionally, some features such as SMS and social media marketing may not be included in all plans. The user interface may also be overwhelming for beginners, and some advanced features like lead scoring are only available in higher-priced plans. Lower-priced plans also have limited support options, and there are limited customization options for email templates.

Pricing is excellent, features are great, and the company is very innovative. Overall, I really want the relationship to work.

The automation rules are broken. I have one field update automation that's broken. It's a simple field update automation that says if field a) value = x, then update field b) to be y; however, it's broken and I sent ticket to them ~4 weeks ago. More importantly, I spend all of this time doing the implementation. ,and now their automated emails will not trigger. I submitted tickets to engineering ~4 weeks ago, and I haven't heard a PEEP from the engineers. They are kind enough to give me June service free; however, that's not what i actually want. I want the software to work so that all of the 100+ hours of time I've invested in building landing pages, automations, data imports, etc, can actually be realized.

One of the greatest strengths that encourage us to prefer ActiveCampaign is its way of automatically managing the lead nurturing strategy by applying different actions such as sending emails, SMS, and more, based on a previous rule that we have configured, among which it may be the sending of a form or having detected a visit to our website. This tool helps us with the correct creation of workflows to handle a significant volume of transactions, which would be practically impossible manually.

Being able to manage the list of leads in an integral way is one of the most important challenges in a marketing department, and one of the strongest points of ActiveCampaign since this tool allows us to manage lists based on properties, behaviors extracted from the analysis of the records, traffic sources, forms and even other lists, which makes it a highly valued platform. And with the automation of interaction and communications, we managed to free the marketing team from making shipments or procedures manually.
