Event Tracking in Active Campaign

    I’m using Active Campaign for email marketing.

    It’d be awesome if I could use BadgeOS achievements as an email trigger for automations, etc. So if someone earns a badge, I can send them an email or use it as a trigger in Active Campaign.

    Active Campaign has a site & event tracking feature, which lets you use site activity as triggers. I think there might be a way to do what I want using the event tracking feature, but I have no idea how to work it with the code.

    Here’s their help file for event tracking: http://www.activecampaign.com/help/site-event-tracking/

    But I don’t know what to put for : YOUR_EVENT or ANY_DATA.

    Any ideas?

    If the event tracking doesn’t work, would there be any way to use the site tracking feature to trigger when someone completes an achievement? I noticed that for form submissions in BadgeOS, the url stays the same after they submit the form, so I don’t think they’re be anyway to track when they actually complete the achievement.

    Any help would be great, thank you!

    They also have an PHP API wrapped: http://www.activecampaign.com/help/event-tracking-with-our-api/

    But that’s probably way over my head.

    Hello.

    I think your best bet is going to be the following action hook in BadgeOS:

    do_action( 'badgeos_award_achievement', $user_id, $achievement_id, $this_trigger, $site_id, $args );

    It fires whenever an achievement gets awarded, and you’ll have access to the user ID who got awarded, the achievement ID, which is going to be a post ID, since achievements are post type posts, as well as the trigger, site ID, and some other arguments.

    With that, you should be able to work out something to do with the Active Campaign logging or emailing, though those details would be out of the scope of BadgeOS.
