Automation Conversion Tracking

Automation Conversion Tracking is a powerful feature within ActiveCampaign that allows users to measure the effectiveness of their automation workflows by linking them directly to specific conversions or business goals. This innovative approach eliminates guesswork, enabling users to identify which automations yield real, quantifiable results. By providing insights into automation performance, this feature helps in demonstrating the impact of campaigns and optimizing marketing strategies.

How to Access Automation Conversion Tracking

To access the Automation Conversion Tracking feature, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your ActiveCampaign account. 2. From the main navigation menu, select Automations. 3. Choose the automation you wish to track. 4. Within the automation workflow, look for the conversion tracking options available.

Step-by-Step Instructions

This section provides detailed instructions on how to set up and utilize Automation Conversion Tracking effectively.

1. **Creating a Conversion Goal**:

  - Open the specific automation where you want to implement conversion tracking.
  - Locate the section to add a conversion goal.
  - Click on the Add Conversion Goal button.
  - Define the conversion that will be tracked (e.g., purchase, demo booking).

1. **Assigning Conversions to Automations**:

  - From within your automation workflow, you can assign a specific conversion or business goal to each automation step.
  - Select the action in the flow you want to link to a conversion, and configure the settings accordingly.

1. **Utilizing the 'Jump To' Action**:

  - Instead of using the legacy Goals action, you will now use the Jump to action for clearer navigation in your workflow.
  - Drag and drop the Jump to action into your automation as needed.

1. **Exiting Contacts Upon Conversion**:

  - To automatically remove contacts from automations after they've converted, select this option within the automation settings.
  - This allows for focused follow-up with high-value audiences.

Configuration Options and Settings

Within the Automation Conversion Tracking feature, several key configuration options enhance its functionality:

• Track automation ROI: Quickly assess the return on investment for various automations by viewing performance metrics.
• Exit contacts automatically: This option allows you to remove contacts from automations upon conversion, optimizing your follow-ups.
• Jump to action: This new action replaces the legacy Goals action, improving workflow clarity and management.

Best Practices and Tips

To maximize the benefits of Automation Conversion Tracking, consider the following best practices:

• **Regularly Review Performance Metrics**: Analyze the performance tied to each automation and adjust accordingly to enhance effectiveness.
• **Use Data-Driven Insights**: Leverage the information gathered from conversions to refine and tailor your marketing strategies.
• **Streamline the Nurturing Process**: By automatically exiting contacts who convert, you can focus on nurturing leads who have yet to engage.
• **Employ Retention Campaigns**: Implement upsell strategies using retention automations to determine which triggers (like discounts) lead to successful conversions.

Common Use Cases with Examples

Automation Conversion Tracking can be applied in various scenarios:

• **Lead Nurturing**:

  Track conversion rates of leads turning into customers post-entry into a nurture workflow. For example, you could track how many leads schedule a demo after receiving a series of educational emails.

• **Retention Campaigns**:

  Measure upsell success from retention automations. For instance, if you offer tutorials and discounts, see which of these leads to additional purchases or upgrades.

• **Event Follow-Up Sequence**:

  Attribute registrations or purchases to specific touches within an automation. Automatically exit leads after conversion to prevent redundant follow-ups.

Troubleshooting Section

If you encounter issues while using Automation Conversion Tracking, consider the following troubleshooting tips:

• **Check Automation Settings**: Ensure your conversion goals are properly configured within the automation settings.
• **Verify Contact Exiting Rules**: Make sure that the options for exiting contacts upon conversion are correctly activated.
