Do you update subscribers?
Yes, if you run a promotion and we pass someone to ActiveCampaign, then you run another promotion in the future and the same person enters, we will automatically update their information in ActiveCampaign (if any new information is provided). Mainly, the referral URL will be updated with the newest URL for each promotion they enter.
Troubleshooting
If you have connected to ActiveCampaign and data is not being added to your list, these are the most common reasons as to why:
Email already in ActiveCampaign list
The email address entered into the promotion may already be in your ActiveCampaign list, so it will not be added again.
Email already entered into ViralSweep
The email address entered into the promotion has already been entered into the promotion previously, so therefore it is not passed to ActiveCampaign. This can happen if you set up your ActiveCampaign integration after you have already entered the promotion.
User did not opt-in
The user did not click the link in the double opt-in confirmation email that was sent to them. If they do not click the link, they will not be added to your list.
Delay in reporting
ActiveCampaign is having a delay in reporting. Try checking again in a few hours.
