Act-On Connector
Intro
Act-On is a marketing automation platform designed to coordinate inbound and outbound marketing campaigns. Use the Act-On Connector to gain insight into campaign details, campaign effectiveness, and reach so you can assess whether your inbound/outbound efforts are lining up and producing successful campaigns.
