ActiveCampaign Tracking Module

Overview​

ActiveCampaign supports several tracking features including site and event tracking.

Site Tracking is a powerful feature that connects your ActiveCampaign marketing and sales processes to activity on your website. It allows ActiveCampaign to track and log that website activity and then trigger and control actions in real-time as contacts visit your site and view specific pages.

Event Tracking allows you to collect data on a wide variety of contact behavior. You can create an event for many activities on your website and assign it a value and store that within ActiveCampaign. The captured event data can then be used to improve your marketing and sales processes as well as to trigger and control automations, create segment conditions, and personalise campaigns.

The ActiveMember360 ActiveCampaign Tracking module fully integrates ActiveCampaign site and event tracking with your WordPress website.

It allows any users to implement ActiveCampaign event tracking without the need for Javascript development expertise nor API and PHP skills.

  3. Set Enable Site Tracking to Yes/On.
  4. Click Save Settings.

Once Site Tracking is enabled ActiveMember360 will include the ActiveCampaign site tracking code into your site for all WordPress URLs.

For logged in users the email address will also be set for the tracking code.

Important

For ActiveCampaign site tracking to function you must ensure that within your ActiveCampaign application under Settings, Tracking, Site Tracking is enabled irrespective of the settings in ActiveMember360.

Also the root domain/subdomain of your site must be whitelisted for site tracking within ActiveCampaign under Settings, Tracking, Whitelist and Install Code, Website URL and Include all website pages checked.

If the ActiveMember360 ActiveCampaign Tracking Module is enabled for Site Tracking you should ensure that neither the ActiveCampaign WordPress plugin is enabled to install the ActiveCampaign site tracking code, nor any other service or plugin that does the same.

To include the site tracking code more than once will result in inaccurate tracking statistics.

When the ActiveMember360 ActiveCampaign Tracking Module is enabled for Site Tracking it will automatically add the logged in users email address to the tracking code.

For the Registration Event

  • If the new user is added to WordPress by ActiveMember360 during their first successful login process that will show as a Registration event. The Login event will also be logged if configured.

  • If you allow the user to register in WordPress using the native WordPress registration process that will show as a Registration event. Please note we do not recommend the use of this method.

  • If you are running WooCommerce and the user is created in WordPress after a successful purchase that will show as a Registration event.

WooCommerce Events​

When WooCommerce is installed and activated, and the ActiveMember360 WooCommerce Extension is also enabled, some predefined events based upon WooCommerce order status can be configured for tracking.

DOM Events​

In addition to the Standard Events and WooCommerce Events supported by the ActiveMember360 ActiveCampaign Tracking module events can also be tracked and logged in ActiveCampaign for logged in users who exist as contacts within ActiveCampaign using onClick and onSubmit DOM (Document Object Model) events.

onClick​

To define/set an onClick logging event for any DOM HTML element that supports onClick use the HTML5 data attributes data-mbr-eventname and data-mbr-eventvalue.

When the link is clicked create an ActiveCampaign event with the name clicked-image and log the event in the ActiveCampaign contact record with an event value of logo.png.

<img src="logo.png" data-mbr-eventvalue="logo.png" data-mbr-eventname="clicked-image">

onSubmit​

To define/set an onSubmit logging event for a HTML form use the HTML5 data attributes data-mbr-form-eventname and data-mbr-form-eventvalue.

When the form is submitted create an ActiveCampaign event with the name submitted-form and log the event in the ActiveCampaign contact record with an event value of submitted update form.

<form data-mbr-form-eventvalue="submitted update form" data-mbr-form-eventname="submitted-form">
  . *form elements* .
</form>
Important

The onSubmit event is triggered and logged immediately upon submission of the form irrespective of whether the form submitted successfully i.e. before any form validation takes place.

Shortcode​

An ActiveMember360 shortcode [mbr_log_event] is also available for event tracking when a logged in contact visits a page or post.

The [mbr_log_event] shortcode is detailed in ActiveMember360, Shortcodes, mbr_log_event.
