For example:
Ensure that customers automatically receive all information via email after placing an order.
Ensure that customers no longer receive subscription emails after cancelling.
Ensure that you have an up-to-date overview of your customers, by means of tags and/or lists in ActiveCampaign/MailBlue.

Creating integrations per product
For each product, you can create product-specific integrations. You can do so by navigating to Products > Specific product > Integrations > Add rule:
When you click Add rule, a pop-up opens. See below for a filled out example:
Give your integration a Name.
Select the right Trigger for your integration.
Select the right Action you want to trigger for your integration.
These are the Actions you can select:
Subscribe to list: add a contact to a list
Unsubscribe from list: remove a contact from a list
Add tag: add a tag to your contact
Remove tag: remove a tag from your contact
Set field: select a custom field that you create in ActiveCampaign/MailBlue.
Add automation: add a contact to an automation
Remove automation: remove a contact from an automation
In the screenshot below, Set field is selected as an Action. The field with Custom name: Test is selected with the Value price. This means that a customer's total order value is saved in my custom field in ActiveCampaign/MailBlue for each order.
All Integrations are shown in an overview:
In the example above, a customer receives the tag Test tag after the invoice is created. Once the order is actually paid they are added to the automation Test automation. They are added to the list Master Contact List if their subscription is active, and removed from that list, once they cancel their subscription.
Creating an optional integration for your checkout
Would you like to give your customers the option to sign up for your newsletter? You have the option to add an extra box to your checkout
You can enable this box by going to Pages > Checkouts > Specific checkout > Content > Fields:
Once activated, it looks like this on your checkout:
ℹ️ Integrations you added to your product are always activated, regardless of whether you active this extra box.
❗️You must still create integrations for your checkout if you activate this box. You can do so via Integrations:
The integrations will only trigger if a customers ticks the extra box.
It is not allowed to require customers to sign up for a newsletter. Using the method above, you can give customers the option to sign up voluntarily.
