1. New features that help your sales team close more deals

Sometimes mundane, manual tasks eat at your calendar. Other times contacts slip out of your funnel. When you can automate contact management, score leads, monitor deals and pipeline, and track tasks, the time sinks disappear. ActiveCampaign’s sales automation keeps your entire sales process moving smoothly.

New feature: Integrated engagement lets you automate personal one-to-one emails from your connected email account

It’s impossible to deliver a truly connected customer experience when marketing and sales conversations are disconnected. We’re changing the way you connect your sales & marketing, making it easier to build and maintain better experiences that nurture ongoing customer relationships with sales engagement automation.

Our new one-to-one automation action lets you easily send a personal email through a connected account, like Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, and more. Use personalization tags and hyperlinks in your one-to-one emails to nurture stronger relationships earlier in the sales cycle.

Combine marketing and sales emails for integrated engagement, and create more personal experiences across every touchpoint, retain more customers, and increase the efficiency of your sales team.

Create better customer experiences by connecting ActiveCampaign with the Pipedrive CX App

The Pipedrive CX App lets you easily automate, update, and create deals with information based on actions prospects take across all their interactions with your team. Better understand your prospects and their behaviors to understand what drives them, and create more meaningful selling experiences.

Now, the Pipedrive CX App lets you easily import contacts from Pipedrive to ActiveCampaign, so you can more easily personalize and automate your communications.

Stay on top of your most important tasks in the moment with mobile notifications

The ActiveCampaign mobile app makes it easy to work when (and where) you want, so you never miss anything important. See detailed marketing reports, track your email performance, update your CRM, and quickly find contact data on the fly — all from your phone.

Now both iOS and Android users can set a push notification when a new task has been assigned or reassigned. This means you’ll never be in the dark when a task has been assigned to you, so you can stay on top of your work and be more productive.

2. A path to success across every channel you use to connect with customers

Customers expect a connected and cohesive experience across email, SMS, landing pages, social, and applications. Whether you’re using ActiveCampaign channel solutions or connecting through your favorite third party solutions, we make it easy to extend engagement across every single touchpoint for a true omnichannel experience.

Stay compliant and deliver exceptional experiences with ActiveCampaign SMS

In order to protect consumers and promote compliant, ethical SMS messaging from brands and businesses, US carriers are requiring businesses to register who they are and what they are sending via SMS. We are introducing an A2P 10DLC registration process for customers that use our native SMS offering to send messages to recipients in the United States.

Once you complete registration you’ll see a vast improvement in message throughput and deliverability. The experience you deliver to your customers through SMS will be better than ever.

We’re making this process easier through:

• In-platform notifications and documentation. Get additional context about the registration process as well as help documentation.
• Registered campaign use-cases. A new field will display the campaign use-case that has been registered during the A2P 10dlc registration process.
