We'll show you how to create the custom fields required for this integration to work most effectively. Learn how to automatically send leads from your checkout (who _didn't complete a purchase_) into ActiveCampaign for targeted follow-up. ## Step 1: Select Your Membership or Checkout - Head to your Kourses account. - Choose the **membership or checkout** you want to integrate. - Example: _Lead Funnel in a Weekend Membership_. ## Step 2: Connect ActiveCampaign to Kourses - Go to **Integrations**. - Scroll down under the **Email Marketing** tab to **Abandoned Cart Leads**. - Click **Add Service**. - Choose **ActiveCampaign** from the list of available integrations. - You'll be prompted to enter: - Your **API URL** - Your **API Key** > **Tip:** > If you're not sure where to find these, check the Kourses Knowledge Base article for guidance. - Click **Save and Connect** to link ActiveCampaign with your Kourses account. ## Step 3: Configure Your Lead Fields After connecting, you'll need to fill in a few fields: ### 3.1 Choose a List - Select the **list** where abandoned cart leads should be sent. - Best practice: Create a separate list (e.g., _Abandon_) to keep them distinct from buyer lists. ### 3.2 (Optional) Add a Tag - You can assign a **tag** to these leads if you want more granular segmentation. ### 3.3 Create Custom Fields You'll need two custom fields in ActiveCampaign: - **Cart Membership Name**: captures the membership they were trying to buy. - **Cart Checkout URL**: captures the checkout page link. ## Step 4: Set Up Custom Fields in ActiveCampaign - Log into your ActiveCampaign account. - From the sidebar, go to **Contacts** > **Fields**. - Click **Add a Group** and name it (e.g., _Abandoned Cart_). - Inside the group, add two new fields: 1. **Cart Membership Name** - Field Type: **Text Input** - Group: _Abandoned Cart_ 2. **Cart Checkout URL** - Field Type: **Text Input** - Group: _Abandoned Cart_ ### 4.1 Adjust Field Settings - Edit each new field. - Under **Advanced Settings**, **uncheck all lists**. - **Only check** the abandoned list you created earlier. - Click **Save** after each one. > **Why this matters:** > It ensures that only the correct leads get these custom fields populated. ## Step 5: Finalize the Integration in Kourses - Go back to your Kourses account. - Click **Save** to refresh the integration. - Scroll down and map your fields: - **Membership Name Field** → Select **Cart Membership Name**. - **Checkout URL Field** → Select **Cart Checkout URL**. - Click **Save** to complete the setup. ## How It Works Moving Forward - When a lead visits your checkout but **does not purchase**, they’re captured. - After **about one hour**, if they _still_ haven’t completed checkout: - Their details are sent to ActiveCampaign. - They’re added to your selected list. - Their membership name and checkout URL are stored in the custom fields. ## Bonus: Personalize Your Follow-Up Emails - Use the custom fields inside ActiveCampaign to personalize your abandoned cart follow-up emails. - Example: _"Hi \[First Name\], we noticed you were looking at \[Cart Membership Name\]. You can complete your purchase here: \[Cart Checkout URL\]!"_
