ActiveCampaign Tutorial: Custom Fields

[@Alarke]

This was exactly what I needed. It simplifies the process for my duplicating my webinar registration automations SO MUCH! Thanks.

[@maxvcollenburg]

Glad it helped! 😄

[@RobinzDaHood]

You've got a great presentation style, very clear and helpful. I would have liked to see more about the relationship between contact / account / deal custom fields though.

[@maxvcollenburg]

Hey Robin, thanks for the compliment! Glad you like how I explain things 🤗 And will keep that in mind!

[@mymarilyn26]

Best Tutorial about ActiveCampaign! Thanks for this video!! I see you from Ecuador!

[@maxvcollenburg]

Thanks Marilyn! Glad you like it! 😄

Im trying to study but can't really focus...because this guy is really cute haha...okay back to activecampaign now😂

[@Alarke]

Thanks for this video, Max. Could you make a video on how to set up an automation for a webinar using custom fields like webinar date and goals? For example: Webinar Date is on or before (or just 'is') current date plus 2 = this email would be sent 2 days before the webinar... Thanks!

[@maxvcollenburg]

Hey Alarke! Great idea! I'll write it down.

[@monikadeneef]

Hallo @@maxvcollenburg groeten uit Nieuw-Zeeland :-) I came across your channel looking for a tutorial that Alarke had asked about. Have you created this tutorial by now? In the meantime, I have watched some of your other videos. Great stuff and well explained, not just bits and pieces but from A to Z, that's very helpful!

[@therealmarknelson]

Do you have a tutorial for a webinar email series? Both pre webinar and post webinar?

[@maxvcollenburg]

I don't have a tutorial about that, but that's a great idea! I'll write it down 💪

Hi how to add mobile number field with country code?

[@newtonadmin1386]

Hi Max, A quick question. Is there any video in which you discuss about GDPR complacence? Since you are Germany based, you must have considered this as I am too in UK. Thanks

[@maxvcollenburg]

Hey Newton! I didn't make a video about it, but I wrote an article: www.maxvancollenburg.com/gdpr-messenger-bots/

[@claudiotormen759]

Hey Max. How are you? Thanks for the tutorial, but in my active campaign editor I am not finding the "Manage conditions" option. Do you know if this is due to my account not be pro? or that have changed since this video?

[@maxvcollenburg]

Hey Claudio! I think the conditional content option is only available on the plus plan & above now.

[@fabeats3]

Hey Max. Great Video. I just dont know how to add different values in my custom fields. So I also want to segment my leads with custom fields, for example one field is biggest struggle, but where do I add the values? So for example "struggle with weight loss" and "struggle with working out". I need to add these somewhere to the custom fields right? Otherwise I cannot chose it for the conditional content etc. Thanks a lot for the help.

[@maxvcollenburg]

Hey Fabian! Yes, you will have to populate those custom fields somehow. You can do it manually in a contact's profile, but you probably want to automate this. How you automate it depends on how you capture this information; are you going to use a survey on a website, do you ask them to click a link, etc? If you use a survey, you'll have to map this to those custom fields somehow. I'm for example using RightMessage to create a little onboarding survey after people opt-in for one of my downloads, and those answers automatically get stored into my segmentation custom fields. Hopefully that gives some ideas! Feel free to ask any other specific questions 🙃

[@fabeats3]

@@maxvcollenburg Thanks a lot. Yeah i will use convertbox and just figured out that i can apply field calues there depending on what People answer in my optin survey.

[@maxvcollenburg]

Yes, ConvertBox is great too for this! 😄

[@thomasnorden4633]

Is there a way to insert Google click ID, GCLID, into a hidden field of AC? That is need to track offline conversions. I suppose it is also interesting not only for Google Ads, but also FAcebook offline conversions.

[@maxvcollenburg]

Hey Thomas! Yes, this is possible, but it's a bit techy. You can add hidden custom fields for each of those things, and then you can use a script to get those parameters out of the URL & push them into the hidden fields. I haven't done this for a while, so I don't remember exactly how to do it, but I know that it's possible.

[@thomasnorden4633]

@@maxvcollenburg i have sen scriptas to extract the gclid bit Sinclair i am ner to AC i don’t know how to ger that into hidden field. Based on your video it looks like the hissen form Fields use query strings?
