  • Initiate Export: Click the Export button, typically located in the gear icon menu at the top right.
  • Download CSV: The system will generate a CSV file containing the deal data. Download this file for use in Patient Copilot. ### Step 2: Prepare CSV for Patient Copilot Import - Review Required Fields: Ensure that each deal has a corresponding contact in the Patient Copilot system. The CSV should include fields such as Deal Title, Value, Pipeline, Stage, Contact Name, and Deal Owner.
  • Data Consistency: Confirm that the data is consistent, especially for fields like Pipeline and Stage, which must align with the structures in Patient Copilot. ### Step 3: Import Deals into Patient Copilot - Navigate to Opportunities: In Patient Copilot, go to Opportunities via the left-hand menu.
  • Start Import Process: Click the Import Opportunities button.

While Patient Copilot does not support direct import of landing pages, they can be manually recreated using Patient Copilot’s page builder. ### Step 1: Document Landing Page Details - Export Content: Review the landing page in ActiveCampaign and note down its structure, content, and any tracking codes (e.g., Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel).
  • Take Screenshots: Capture screenshots of the landing page layout for reference during the rebuild process. ### Step 2: Rebuild Landing Page in Patient Copilot - Navigate to Page Builder: In Patient Copilot, go to Sites > Funnels/Websites.
  • Create New Page: Select Create New Funnel/Website and choose a template or start with a blank page.
  • Recreate Structure: Using Patient Copilot’s drag-and-drop builder, recreate the structure of the ActiveCampaign landing page. Add the content, images, and forms as needed.
  • Add Tracking Codes: Go to Settings > Tracking Codes and add any necessary tracking codes (e.g., Google Analytics ID, Facebook Pixel).
  • Customize and Publish: Customize the page’s theme, layout, and SEO settings. Once satisfied, click Publish. ### Step 3: Post-Publish Check - Ensure all links, forms, and tracking codes work correctly on the published page.!(https://assets.patientcopilot.ai/fd3804efd8d78cb7.png) * * * ## Migrate Forms Forms are used to collect information from leads and trigger automations. Forms from ActiveCampaign need to be recreated in Patient Copilot’s form builder. ### Step 1: Document Form Details - Review Form Fields: In ActiveCampaign, note down the form fields, actions (e.g., add to list, apply tag), and any integrations.
  • Capture Form Settings: Document any specific settings, such as form visibility, custom CSS, or conditional logic. ### Step 2: Recreate Forms in Patient Copilot - Navigate to Form Builder: In Patient Copilot, go to Sites > Forms.
  • Create New Form: Click Create New Form and start adding fields that match those from the ActiveCampaign form.
  • Configure Actions: Set up form actions such as adding contacts to a list, applying tags, or triggering workflows in Patient Copilot.
  • Embed Form: Once the form is built, you can embed it on a Patient Copilot landing page or website by copying the embed code. ### Step 3: Post-Implementation Check - Test Form Submission: Submit a test entry through the form to ensure that all actions (e.g., adding to lists, applying tags) are working correctly.
  • Verify Data Capture: Check that the form data is captured accurately in Patient Copilot, including any custom fields or tags.
  • Review Embedded Forms: If the form is embedded on a landing page or website, ensure it displays correctly across different devices (desktop, tablet, mobile).!(https://assets.patientcopilot.ai/81911f2cfa759f4c.png) * * * ## Recreate Automations Automations in ActiveCampaign are sequences of actions triggered by specific events (e.g., form submission, tag application). Migrating automations involves manually recreating these workflows in Patient Copilot using its Workflows feature. ### Step 1: Document ActiveCampaign Automations - Export Automation Details: If possible, export a visual representation or detailed breakdown of each automation from ActiveCampaign. If this is not available, manually document the triggers, actions, conditions, and end goals of each automation.
  • Identify Key Elements: For each automation, identify key components such as entry triggers (e.g., contact added to a list), actions (e.g., send email, add tag), and any conditional logic (e.g., if/else branches). ### Step 2: Recreate Automations in Patient Copilot - Access Patient Copilot Workflows: In Patient Copilot, navigate to Automation > Workflows.
  • Create New Workflow: Click Create New Workflow and start by setting the entry trigger that matches the one in ActiveCampaign (e.g., form submission, tag added).
  • Add Actions and Conditions: Recreate the sequence of actions from the ActiveCampaign automation. This may include sending emails, adding/removing tags, updating contact records, or moving deals through a pipeline.
  • Use Conditional Logic: Patient Copilot allows you to add conditional logic similar to ActiveCampaign’s if/else branches. Ensure that these conditions are correctly set up to guide contacts through different paths based on their behavior or attributes.
  • Configure Timing: If the automation involves timed delays (e.g., wait for 1 day), ensure these are set up accurately in Patient Copilot. ### Step 3: Test and Validate - Run Test Contacts: Create a test contact or use a segment of existing contacts to run through the newly created workflow. Monitor the process to ensure all actions are executed correctly.
  • Check Workflow Reports: After the test run, review the workflow reports in Patient Copilot to verify that the automation is performing as expected.
  • Adjust as Necessary: If any part of the workflow does not behave as intended, make adjustments and re-test until the automation is functioning smoothly. * * * ## Additional Migration Considerations ### Training and Documentation - Internal Training: Provide training for your team on how to use Patient Copilot effectively, especially focusing on differences from ActiveCampaign.
  • Create Internal SOPs: Document any internal processes that have changed as a result of the migration to Patient Copilot. ### Data Integrity - Double-Check Data: After all components have been migrated, double-check that all data (contacts, deals, email templates, etc.) has been transferred accurately and is complete.
  • Backup Data: Ensure you have backups of all original data from ActiveCampaign before deleting or archiving it. ### Customer Communication - Notify Contacts: If the migration impacts your customer-facing processes (e.g., changes to email templates or form submissions), consider notifying your contacts about the transition to avoid confusion. ### Ongoing Monitoring - Monitor Performance: Regularly monitor the performance of workflows, email campaigns, and other automated processes in Patient Copilot to ensure they are working as intended.
  • Optimize: Use Patient Copilot’s analytics and reporting tools to identify areas for optimization post-migration. * * * ## Frequently Asked Questions How do I export my contacts from ActiveCampaign?
