Score Leads and Close More Jobs with Automated Intelligence
ActiveCampaign's lead scoring and advanced automation sequences become dramatically more powerful when SubcontractorHub feeds them real pipeline behavior — proposal views, time-to-decision, and job type data that no web form can capture. Contractors using behavior-triggered drip campaigns with accurate lead scores close proposals 31% faster than those relying on broadcast emails alone.
What Connects Between ActiveCampaign and SubcontractorHub
The specific data flows that eliminate double entry and keep both systems current without extra work from your team.
Proposal-Behavior Lead Scoring
Every time a prospect views a proposal, opens a follow-up, or declines without signing, SubcontractorHub sends an event to ActiveCampaign that adjusts the contact's lead score in real time. A homeowner who viewed a $22,000 roofing proposal three times in 48 hours gets a high score and triggers a 'hot lead' notification to the rep — before they call a competitor.
Pipeline Stage Automation Triggers
SubcontractorHub pipeline stage changes (New Lead → Proposal Sent → Won → Lost) fire as ActiveCampaign automation triggers, so the exact right email sequence starts at the exact right moment. A 'Proposal Sent' event starts a 5-touch follow-up drip; a 'Lost' event starts a 90-day re-engagement campaign.
Contact and Deal Record Sync
Customer name, phone, email, service address, job type, and estimated deal value sync from SubcontractorHub into ActiveCampaign's built-in CRM, keeping both systems current without duplicate data entry. For contractors using ActiveCampaign as a lightweight CRM, this eliminates the need to manually create deals for every new lead.
Win-Loss Tagging for Segmented Nurture
Closed-won customers receive an 'Active Customer' tag in ActiveCampaign while closed-lost leads receive a 'Lost — [reason]' tag based on the disposition logged in SubcontractorHub. This enables completely separate automation tracks — a referral sequence for customers and a price-objection drip for lost prospects — running simultaneously without list management overhead.

In SubcontractorHub's Integrations tab, paste your ActiveCampaign API URL and API key — found under Settings > Developer in your ActiveCampaign account — to establish the connection.
Map Pipeline Stages to AC Automations
Link each SubcontractorHub pipeline stage to the corresponding ActiveCampaign automation or list so events fire the correct workflow from the moment a lead enters your pipeline.
Configure Lead Scoring Events
Define which SubcontractorHub events — proposal viewed, proposal opened by email link, proposal declined — add or subtract points from your ActiveCampaign lead score model.
Test with a Live Lead
Run a test contact through the pipeline from 'New Lead' to 'Proposal Sent' to confirm scores update, automations trigger, and contact fields populate correctly before processing real customers.

Who Uses the ActiveCampaign Integration
Solar Company Hot-Lead Alerting
A solar rep sends a $38,000 system proposal on Monday. The homeowner views it twice on Tuesday without responding. SubcontractorHub fires a 'proposal-viewed' event to ActiveCampaign, which bumps the lead score past threshold and texts the rep: 'Sarah viewed your proposal — call now.' The rep calls within 20 minutes and books a site visit.
HVAC Lost-Lead Re-engagement Drip
When an HVAC estimate is marked 'Lost — went with competitor,' ActiveCampaign automatically starts a 6-month drip sequence with 4 emails: a second-opinion offer at 30 days, a financing-rates-dropped email at 90 days, a seasonal promo at 120 days, and a final win-back at 180 days. This sequence recovers 6–9% of lost HVAC leads annually for contractors running it consistently.
Roofing Company High-Score Lead Routing
A roofing company sets a lead score threshold of 80 in ActiveCampaign. When a prospect's score crosses 80 — triggered by multiple proposal views and email opens — an ActiveCampaign webhook notifies the sales manager and the lead is reassigned to the company's top closer. Close rate on 80+ score leads runs 58% versus 29% for unscored leads.
Commercial HVAC Account-Based Nurture
A commercial HVAC contractor targets property management firms. Each company contact syncs from SubcontractorHub into ActiveCampaign with an 'account' tag linking contacts at the same firm. ActiveCampaign's account-based automation sends case study emails to all contacts at a firm simultaneously when any one contact reaches the 'Proposal Sent' stage.
Common Questions About the ActiveCampaign Integration
Does ActiveCampaign's built-in CRM replace SubcontractorHub for job management?
No — they serve different functions. ActiveCampaign CRM tracks contacts and marketing automations; SubcontractorHub manages job costing, proposals, scheduling, and field operations. The integration keeps both in sync so you get marketing intelligence without losing job management functionality.
How granular can lead scoring events be?
Very granular. You can configure point values for any SubcontractorHub event: +10 for proposal viewed, +20 for viewed twice in 24 hours, -5 for proposal declined, +30 for a second proposal requested. Point values are fully configurable in the integration settings.
Can multiple team members receive hot-lead notifications?
Yes. ActiveCampaign's notification actions support multiple recipients. You can route high-score alerts to the assigned rep plus a sales manager simultaneously, which is common in roofing and solar companies with tiered sales teams.
What ActiveCampaign plan is required?
The Plus plan ($49/month) or higher is required for full automation and CRM features. The Lite plan lacks deal pipelines and advanced automations, which limits the integration's usefulness for contractors.
Is historical data imported when I first connect?
Yes. SubcontractorHub can push up to 24 months of closed job and proposal history as a one-time bulk import when you first authenticate, pre-populating your ActiveCampaign contact database so automations have data to work with immediately.
