Start your ActiveCampaign follow-up before they leave the room.
Put a keyword or a QR code on your slide or booth. People text in and reply with their email. Textiful adds them to your ActiveCampaign list, tags them with the event, and starts the automation you built for it.
14-day free trial. ActiveCampaign is included on every plan.

Added to ActiveCampaign
Tag: spring-summit · Automation: Booth follow-up
Event leads that arrive ready for your automations
A stack of business cards or a booth scanner export gets imported days later, after the event’s gone cold. With Textiful, each person lands in ActiveCampaign while they’re still in the room, with the tags your automations are waiting for.
Tagged by event
Pick tags from your ActiveCampaign account, or type a new one and Textiful creates it there. One tag per show, talk, or session tells you where every lead came from.
Your automation starts on its own
Choose one or more automations in the step. Each person starts them the moment they reach that step, so the first follow-up email can go out while they still remember you.
More than an email address
First name, last name, and mobile number fill ActiveCampaign’s standard fields. Map a company name to an Account, and any other answer from your capture flow to a custom field.
Works from a stage or a mic
Say “text DEMO to 33777” and people sign up from their seats, even when they can’t see the screen.
A QR code for the booth
Put a QR code on a banner, a table tent, or the last slide. Scanning it opens a text that’s ready to send.
Give them a reason to reply
Send the guide, the slides, or the price sheet in the same conversation with handouts.

Put your keyword or QR code on a slide, a banner, or a table. Everyone who replies with their email goes to ActiveCampaign.
What lands in ActiveCampaign
One contact per email address
Someone already in ActiveCampaign is updated, with the new tags and fields added, so a repeat visitor doesn’t become a duplicate.
Unsubscribes stay unsubscribed
Anyone who unsubscribed from the list stays off it, and an address that bounced isn’t added back. Everyone else joins the list as active.
Automations start once
Each person starts your automations once each time they go through the flow. If a sync is retried, they aren’t started a second time.
Every sync is logged
The sync log under Settings > Integrations lists every send with any error from ActiveCampaign, and Test connection checks the account on demand.

No. The short codes 33777 and 55444 work in the US only, and QR codes text those same numbers, so Textiful is for audiences in the US.
