Start setup
  1. Step 01

    Create your DeskFerry account

    Sign up at deskferry.app — it takes 30 seconds and starts a 7-day free trial. You'll land on the dashboard where you can create your first workflow.

  2. Step 02

    Authenticate ActiveCampaign

    Click "Add Connection" and select ActiveCampaign from the app directory. You'll be redirected to ActiveCampaign's authorization page. Grant DeskFerry access to your campaigns, audiences, and analytics data. You control which lists and campaigns the integration can modify.

  3. Step 03

    Authenticate Google Analytics

    Same process for Google Analytics. Click "Add Connection," select Google Analytics, and authorize access. Grant DeskFerry access to your dashboards, reports, and datasets. You select which data sources the integration can read.

  4. Step 04

    Choose your trigger

    Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new subscriber in activecampaign or report generated in google analytics. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.

  5. Step 05

    Configure the action

    Define what happens when the trigger fires. For example: log event in google analytics. Map the data fields between ActiveCampaign and Google Analytics so the right information lands in the right place.

  6. Step 06

    Test and activate

    Run a test to confirm data flows correctly between ActiveCampaign and Google Analytics. Check that the fields map as expected, then toggle the workflow on. It runs 24/7 from here — DeskFerry handles retries, error logging, and monitoring automatically.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect ActiveCampaign to Google Analytics?

Sign up for a free DeskFerry account, then click "Add Connection" to authenticate both ActiveCampaign and Google Analytics via OAuth. Choose a workflow template — like syncing marketing events to data analytics actions — customize the field mapping, and activate. The entire setup takes under 5 minutes.

What can I automate between ActiveCampaign and Google Analytics?

You can automate a wide range of workflows: sync new ActiveCampaign events to Google Analytics actions, trigger Google Analytics updates when ActiveCampaign data changes, create Google Analytics records from ActiveCampaign events, and build conditional workflows with filters and field mapping. Each workflow runs 24/7 with automatic retries.

Is the ActiveCampaign and Google Analytics integration free?

DeskFerry's 7-day free trial is enough to prove the workflow out. If your ActiveCampaign-to-Google Analytics workflows need more volume, paid plans start at $49/month with unlimited workflows and priority execution.

Is my ActiveCampaign data secure when connected to Google Analytics?

Yes. DeskFerry uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your ActiveCampaign or Google Analytics passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your marketing data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your DeskFerry dashboard.

Can I sync data both ways between ActiveCampaign and Google Analytics?

Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either ActiveCampaign or Google Analytics. For example, create a workflow where ActiveCampaign events update Google Analytics, and a separate one where Google Analytics changes sync back to ActiveCampaign. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.

Do I need technical skills to connect ActiveCampaign and Google Analytics?

No coding is required. DeskFerry's builder is prompt-based: you describe the trigger and what should happen in plain English, and the agent handles the field mapping. If you can use ActiveCampaign and Google Analytics, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
