Connect Sitecore and Act-on

Connecting Sitecore and Act-on for a company could enable automated transfer of content and user engagement data between the two platforms. This connection could support coordinated marketing campaigns, centralized analytics, and improved lead management by leveraging content personalization from Sitecore and marketing automation features from Act-on.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between Sitecore and Act-on around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect Sitecore and Act-on?

A company operating both Sitecore and Act-on could benefit from enabling data exchange between the two systems. Without such a connection, employees might be required to manually enter the same information in both platforms, which increases the risk of errors and consumes valuable time. Separate datasets could result in customer or lead records drifting apart, undermining data quality and making it harder to gain a unified view of marketing performance or customer engagement. This could also lead to decisions being made based on outdated or incomplete information, especially if updates in one system are not promptly reflected in the other. If a connection were established, it could enable the transfer of data such as contact details, marketing campaign responses, website activity, and lead scores. For example, information collected through Sitecore’s web content management features could be shared with Act-on for more targeted marketing automation, while engagement data from Act-on could be sent back to Sitecore to personalize website experiences. The exact data that can be exchanged depends on the capabilities each system exposes through its API and must be determined for each implementation.

How System2System builds an integration

Connectors

We connect to each system through the interface it offers — an API, a database, a file exchange or a webhook — and handle authentication, rate limits and retries.

Mapping

Fields rarely line up one to one. We map and transform the data so both systems receive it in the shape they expect.

Workflow

We define what triggers an exchange, in which direction data flows and which system takes precedence when the two disagree.

Monitoring

Every exchange is logged. Failures are flagged and can be replayed, so nothing disappears without anyone noticing.

What can actually be exchanged?

That depends on what Sitecore and Act-on make available through their APIs, on the licences and modules in use, and on the version each system runs. Which records are synchronised, in which direction and how often, is something we determine together before any work starts.

We are happy to look at your specific situation and tell you what is feasible — including when the answer is that it is not.
