How to connect ActiveCampaign and Gmail
Create a New Scenario to Connect ActiveCampaign and Gmail
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a ActiveCampaign, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, ActiveCampaign or Gmail will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find ActiveCampaign or Gmail, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the ActiveCampaign Node
Select the ActiveCampaign node from the app selection panel on the right.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring ActiveCampaign, Gmail, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the ActiveCampaign and Gmail integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between ActiveCampaign and Gmail (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect ActiveCampaign and Gmail
ActiveCampaign + Gmail + Slack: When a new contact is added to a list in ActiveCampaign, send a welcome email via Gmail and post a notification in a designated Slack channel.
Gmail + ActiveCampaign + Google Sheets: When a new email arrives in Gmail, find the contact in ActiveCampaign based on the sender's email. If the contact exists, update a row in Google Sheets with the email subject and body. If the contact does not exist, create it in ActiveCampaign.
