The Technical Framework

1. Webhook Creation: The ActiveCampaign Trigger node creates a dedicated webhook in your ActiveCampaign account

2. Event Subscription: You specify which events to monitor (campaign opens, form submissions, etc.)

3. Real-time Notifications: When events occur, ActiveCampaign sends data to n8n instantly

4. Workflow Execution: Your custom n8n workflow processes the data and takes action

5. Cross-Platform Integration: Connect with 300+ other platforms through n8n nodes

This architecture eliminates polling delays and allows for true real-time marketing automation across your entire business technology stack. The setup requires minimal technical knowledge, with n8n managing the webhook configuration automatically.
