This tutorial will guide you through integrating ActiveCampaign with Tiledesk to send WhatsApp messages triggered by an automation workflow. Follow these steps:
Step 1: Create a New Bot in Tiledesk
- Log in to your Tiledesk Dashboard.
- Create a new bot:
- You can either build a bot from scratch or import one using the provided template. Import this bot.

Step 2: Configure the WhatsApp Action in Tiledesk
- Navigate to the Actions Menu within your bot settings.

Step 3: Create an Automation in ActiveCampaign
- Log in to your ActiveCampaign account.
- Go to the Automation section and create a new workflow.
- Select your desired Trigger and choose the Webhook option from the workflow list. This will allow ActiveCampaign to call Tiledesk when the trigger conditions are met.
Step 4: Set Up the Webhook URL in ActiveCampaign
To integrate ActiveCampaign with Tiledesk, you need to generate a Webhook URL for your bot:
Use the base URL:
Append the following details to complete the Webhook URL:
- Project ID: Your Tiledesk project ID.
- Chatbot ID: The ID of the chatbot you want to trigger.
- Block Name: The name of the block to activate (usually "start").
Insert this Webhook URL into ActiveCampaign’s webhook field in your automation workflow.
Example: Complete Webhook URL
Suppose your:
- Project ID: 12345
- Chatbot ID: 67890
Your Webhook URL will look like this:

With this integration, you’ve successfully linked ActiveCampaign and Tiledesk. Now, whenever the automation trigger fires in ActiveCampaign, your Tiledesk bot will send a WhatsApp message using the configured template.
