Integrating Act-On to a Non-Native CRM

  • Updated

If your CRM doesn't have a native Act-On connector - or it's a custom-built system - you can still connect it to Act-On. Several integration methods are available, ranging from basic to advanced, and most will require some technical skill to set up.

Why this matters: A CRM without a native connector won't sync with Act-On on its own. Picking the right integration method keeps contact records, form submissions, lead scores, and opt-outs moving correctly between the two systems, so your sales and marketing data stays accurate.

Methods of Integration

Webhooks

Act-On's incoming and outgoing webhooks can provide streaming updates when data changes.

FTP List Sync

You can connect your FTP client to sync lists from an externally stored location.

REST API

You can use Act-On's API to push/pull lists and perform other functions within your CRM.

CRM Customization Toolkit

With a few simple HTTP requests, you can get many of the functions of our native CRM connectors in your application. See this page for details.

External Services

You can also use an integration as a service provider (iPaaS) to move data between Act-On and your other services.
