Use this interactive demo to learn how to set up and configure Goals inside an ActiveCampaign automation.

Quick summary

ActiveCampaign Goals let you define milestone conditions inside an automation so contacts are routed based on whether they meet specific criteria. This walkthrough shows how to add a Goal step, name it, configure conditions, and save it directly from the automation editor.


Steps

  1. In the automation editor, click the Add icon below the Trigger section.
  2. Select Conditions and Workflow from the list of options.
  3. Click Goal to insert the Goal step into your ActiveCampaign automation.
  4. Enter a unique goal name into the provided input field.
  5. Configure a personalized set of goal conditions by filling in all required condition settings.
  6. Set additional Goal triggers using the drop-down menus under And When This Goal is and If the Contact Does Not Meet the Goal Conditions.
  7. Click Save to confirm your goal configuration.
  8. Your customized ActiveCampaign Goal is now added to the automation and enabled accordingly.

📌 Why this matters

ActiveCampaign Goals are a powerful automation feature that allow marketers to define specific milestones contacts must reach during a workflow, enabling smarter contact routing and more precise campaign targeting. By setting conditions and triggers on a Goal step, teams can automatically redirect contacts who meet or miss criteria — eliminating the need for manual segmentation. This makes Goals essential for building conditional automations that respond dynamically to contact behavior, improving email marketing efficiency and conversion rates. For any business using ActiveCampaign to run multi-step automations, understanding how Goals work is key to unlocking the platform's full automation potential.
