What This Workflow Does
For businesses using E-conomic for accounting and GetResponse for email marketing, a significant operational gap often exists. New customers are entered into the financial system, but marketing teams must manually export and import this data to build their contact lists. This process is slow, error-prone, and delays critical welcome sequences and promotional campaigns.
This automated workflow solves that problem by creating a seamless bridge between E-conomic and GetResponse. Every time a new customer record is created in your E-conomic account, the automation instantly captures their contact details and creates a corresponding contact in your designated GetResponse list. This ensures your marketing database is always current, enabling timely, personalized communication from the moment a sale is recorded.
How It Works
The automation runs on Make.com, acting as the intelligent middleware that connects your two essential business tools.
Step 1: Monitor for New Customers
The workflow starts by watching your E-conomic account for new customer creations. Make.com polls the E-conomic API at regular intervals (e.g., every 15 minutes) or uses a webhook for instant triggering, identifying any freshly added customer profiles.
Step 2: Extract and Format Customer Data
When a new customer is detected, the automation extracts key information such as the customer's name, email address, company name, and any other relevant fields you choose to map. It then structures this data into the format required by GetResponse's API.
Pro tip: Map custom fields from E-conomic to GetResponse to store data like 'Customer Since' date or 'Total Invoice Value'. This enables powerful segmentation for future email campaigns.
Step 3: Create the Contact in GetResponse
The formatted data is sent to GetResponse via its API. The workflow instructs GetResponse to add the new contact to a specific list, optionally applying tags or adding them to an automation funnel. The process includes error handling to manage cases like invalid email addresses.
Step 4: Log and Confirm
Finally, the workflow can log the action in a Google Sheet, send a notification to Slack, or simply mark the task as complete. This provides an audit trail and confirms that the sync was successful.
Who This Is For
This automation is ideal for e-commerce stores, SaaS companies, agencies, and any service-based business that uses E-conomic (or similar Nordic accounting software) and relies on email marketing for customer engagement. It's particularly valuable for:
- Marketing Managers tired of begging for customer CSV exports from the finance department.
- Solo Entrepreneurs & Small Business Owners who wear multiple hats and need systems to run in the background.
- Finance Teams who want to ensure data consistency and reduce repetitive manual tasks for other departments.
- Growing Companies where the volume of new customers makes manual syncing unsustainable and risky.
What You'll Need
- A Make.com account (free tier available to get started).
- An active E-conomic subscription with API access enabled.
- Your E-conomic API credentials (typically an Agreement Grant Token).
- An active GetResponse account with a paid plan that includes API access.
- Your GetResponse API key, found in your account settings.
- The name or ID of the GetResponse list where you want new contacts to be added.
