Customer checked 'Text me offers' in Shopify, but AC shows 'SMS: Unsubscribed'
Also searched as: "Shopify ActiveCampaign customer checked 'text me offers' in shopify, but ac shows 'sms: unsubscribed'"
#1 Field Mapping Gap 100% likely
📋 How to Diagnose
- 1. Shopify uses `sms_marketing_consent` field
- 2. ActiveCampaign native integration often maps Email Consent but ignores SMS Consent by default
✓ Solution
Use Make/Zapier to listen for 'Customer Update'. If `sms_marketing_consent` is 'subscribed', call AC API to update list status.
