Once you've linked your Thinkific account to ActiveCampaign, you can begin adding new signups to specific lists created within ActiveCampaign. Lists allow you to segment your users and run targeted email campaigns based on the tags associated with the user profile!

Create a List in ActiveCampaign

To add your Thinkific students to an ActiveCampaign list, you'll need to create a list of your Thinkific students.

  1. Login to ActiveCampaign
  2. Head over to Lists and Create a new list for your studentsImage_2020-02-06_at_2.51.12_PM.png
    You can either create a single list containing all of your students or have different lists for each of your Thinkific courses.

Now you'll need to create an automation that adds your incoming Thinkific users to this newly created list!

  1. Head over to Automations

Congrats! Now the automation within ActiveCampaign will add students to your list when they enroll into a specific course!

Please note that this set up is done through ActiveCampaign, so we are not able to support troubleshooting on the ActiveCampaign side. We recommend reaching out to ActiveCampaign directly if you have any set up questions!
