If you’re a business owner or sales professional using ActiveCampaign, you know how critical it is to keep accurate records of calls and texts. Manually logging these interactions is tedious, error-prone, and consumes valuable time—time better spent engaging with customers and closing deals.
Pro Tip: Although Kixie doesn’t offer a native, direct integration with ActiveCampaign like it does with HubSpot, Salesforce, or Pipedrive, you can still automate your call and SMS logging by leveraging Kixie’s powerful webhook capabilities with platforms like Zapier.
Why Automatic Logging Matters for Your Business
- Improved Productivity: Automation reduces administrative tasks, freeing your sales team to focus on prospects rather than paperwork.
- Accuracy & Completeness: Automatically capture essential details—call duration, outcomes, SMS content—to maintain accurate CRM records.
- Streamlined Workflows: Keep your team within a single system, eliminating constant app switching.
- Enhanced Insights: Use logged data for better reporting and informed sales and marketing decisions.

Select events such as End Call (for call details), Disposition (for outcomes and notes), and SMS Sent/Received. 4. Obtain your Zapier Webhook URL to connect Kixie to Zapier.Step 2: Configure Zapier to Catch Kixie Webhooks

1. Add an Action step in Zapier and select ActiveCampaign. 2. Choose the desired action—such as creating notes or updating custom fields—to log call/SMS details. 3. Map the incoming webhook data from Kixie to the appropriate ActiveCampaign fields (e.g., call duration, message content). 4. Confirm the action by testing your Zap.Quick Reference: Connecting ActiveCampaign API to Kixie PowerCall
