Segment SMS Automation
Automatically turn Segment traits into tailored SMS messages in ActiveCampaign. Send the right offer at the right time and guide each lead to a personalized conversion.
Why This Workflow Matters
When a lead’s data is enriched, it’s the perfect moment to reach out. This workflow uses Segment traits to personalize SMS messages in ActiveCampaign, so each person receives a relevant, human message. The result: faster responses, higher offer acceptance, and more conversions without manual effort.
How The Automation Works
- Trigger: Segment identify / track routed to AC
- Entry Conditions: segment_traits present
- Tags/Fields Created: tag: segment_enriched
- ActiveCampaign Steps: Personalized SMS using trait data
- SMS Sent (via D7): {'method': 'POST', 'url': 'https://api.d7networks.com/sms/send', 'body': "{ 'to':'{{phone}}','content':'Hi {{first_name}}, we tailored an offer for you.' }"}
- Exit Conditions: offer accepted
- Goal: Personalized conversion
