Google Sheets SMS Automation
Connect your Google Sheets with ActiveCampaign and D7 SMS to automatically greet, tag, and route new leads for faster engagement.
Why This Workflow Matters
Manually uploading contacts and sending individual welcome messages can eat into your day. With this workflow, new entries in your Google Sheet automatically become contacts in ActiveCampaign. Each contact gets the right tags, a friendly text message, and a spot in your automation flow so you can focus on conversations, not copy-paste work.
Whether you’re importing leads from an event, a CRM export, or a form submission, this setup ensures every contact receives a timely, on-brand welcome.
How It Works
- A new contact row is added to your Google Sheet or database.
- The workflow triggers ActiveCampaign to create or update the contact.
- A relevant tag is added to track the contact source.
- A welcoming SMS is sent automatically through D7 SMS.
- The system waits for the user’s reply.
- Based on the response, it either creates a deal/task or continues a nurture sequence.
- You can monitor engagement and measure your conversion KPI directly in ActiveCampaign.
