ActiveCampaign Goals: Full Tutorial (With Examples)

Thank you Max! I was wondering if we can use Goals as well to let a client choose to receive the next email right away (and so skip the step of 'wait for 1 day')? I want to create a 5-day email course and I saw in other people's sequences that they have a button saying 'click here if you want to receive the next lesson right away'. How can we do this in ActiveCampaign?

Video Quality 360p, video unwatchable.

Thank you Max. Great content!

So Helpful, Thank you!

Thanks!

Thank you for this great tutorial!

Great tutorial Max! I was wondering if it was possible to use Goals for moving people within an email challenge? My thoughts: If someone joins a live challenge late (We are on Day 3, and then they join) could I use Goals to move them to the appropriate Day?

thanks. very helpful!

Super helpful! Subbed!

Hey Max. Great video. Your links for copying the funnel and cheat sheet do not work. Help?

Thanks for these ActiveCampaign walkthroughs! They're awesome! I'd love to see more videos on building more complex automations on ActiveCampaign :)

bedankt voor je uitleg!

Great video dude, I've been using if/else through automations and it's a pain in the arse. Now I understand how goals work, I'll be switching over :)
Incidentally, I'm a very logical dude and saw the AC automations as a flow chart kind of scenario, never realised that a GOAL set way down that automation could be hit at any time regardless of where the prospect was in their automation journey. Thanks again man!

Such a useful video! Question: if the 'not interested' goal to end the automation was set up to trigger once a certain tag was appended to a contact (they click the 'not interested' link, for example, and were tagged 'Not Interested'), then do you need to set up the other goal trigger of 'clicked this url' and denote EVERY email that link appears in? I have a usecase where there are a lot of emails in the drip. If the goal is trigged based on a tag, why does it also have to be set up to trigger based on a url clicked? seems like a lot of extra work. Thank you!

Another great tutorial Max. What if you have more than 5 emails in your automation and want to use goals for opened emails? You can add only 5 conditions to a goal...

Yo your videos are amazing. You really have helped me a lot. All the best!

Thanks Max, this video is wonderful and gave me some new ideas! It is clever how you are using goals for conditional logic during follow-up emails...but wouldn't this really mess up your goals analytics? For example: If I have a weekly email built into a 2 year automation...that's 104 goals right there. I would have thought goals would be best used for conversions and important milestones. I admittedly am not currently using goals but would like to. What are your thoughts?

It seems like Goals and If/Then are virtually the same thing or do the same things just in different ways. Do you have a video explaining the differences and when you'd use one vs the other?

Dude! Thanks for this video!! Appreciate it a lot!

Excellent demo. Great examples. Thank you!

Thank you for the activecampaign tutorial on goals. It was really helpful with understanding how goals work.

Thank you for this video.

This is so much cleaner, more elegant than if/else for my email course. Soooooo much better. [Send email lesson, wait 24 hours to send next lesson; but if goal of <turned in homework> is met, send next lesson right away] for each lesson.

I was wracking my brain all weekend over the if/else logic. This is so much better!

Max! Thank you so much for AC videos! they have helped me a lot!!! When I need something on AC, I come first here in your channel. Please make another one about how to understand all kinds of reports and how to make decisions based on diferent results, for example on each of the best automations. Thank you again.

Max... Can I also add an action that makes sure (after 23 hours) to send the contact an FB messenger message... ? Or how can I do this... I want to send them the PDF file through activecampaign, but if they didn't open it in 23 hours... we want to send them a message on FB messenger like, check your spam, you already received the PDF file...

Hey Max! Thanks so much for this tutorial. I was able to build out a client’s sales automation pretty much using your tutorials here. By the way, I opted in to one of your freebies and ended up on your website where I saw a really cool survey feature - I’d really love to know what you used for that. Was that a plugin? Anyway, thanks again and keep up the great work!

Hi Max, thanks for that video - very interesting. I think historically I've always stuck to IF conditional logic but I can see now how goals can help

Great video, my friend. It took me a looong time to figure this out.
Already subscribed to your email list and I'll send you an email.
Very good branding too. Nice and sophisticated.
