How the ActiveCampaign integration works?

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

1. Log in to ActiveCampaign:
   – Open your ActiveCampaign account and navigate to the API section by typing “API” in the search menu.
   – Identify your Account Name from the API base URL (e.g., in https://activeprospect47.api-us1.com, the account name is activeprospect47).

2. Retrieve API Credentials and List ID:
   – Locate your API Key directly below the base URL in the ActiveCampaign API settings.
   – If you do not have an existing list, create one in ActiveCampaign and note its List ID from the URL (the value after listid=).

3. Add ActiveCampaign as a Recipient in LeadConduit:
   – Open LeadConduit’s Flow Editor and navigate to the Steps list.
   – click “Add to Flow > Integration” and search for “ActiveCampaign” in the integration list; then select it.

4. Configure the Integration in LeadConduit:
   – When prompted, enter the Account Name using the text preceding .api-us1.com.
   – Paste your API Key exactly as shown in your ActiveCampaign account.
   – Provide the List ID from ActiveCampaign where you want your leads to be routed.

5. Map Fields in the Integration:
   – The integration automatically maps essential fields such as First Name, Last Name, Email, Phone 1, and IP Address.
   – If necessary, manually add mappings for any custom fields (e.g., Organization, Subscription Form, or Tags).

6. Save and Deploy the Flow:
   – Click “Confirm” to save your configuration and then save your LeadConduit flow to complete the setup.

Expected Result:
Once configured, all leads processed through the flow will be delivered to the designated ActiveCampaign list with accurate field mappings. Contacts will instantly appear in ActiveCampaign with all relevant data intact.

Validation & Monitoring (optional)

• Test the Setup:
  – Submit a test lead through your LeadConduit flow and verify that the contact appears in your ActiveCampaign list with the mapped fields correctly populated.

• Where to Monitor?:
  – Review your ActiveCampaign dashboard under the specific list to confirm new contacts.
  – Check LeadConduit’s event logs for integration response details to ensure successful delivery.

Best Practices

• Verify Credentials: Always double-check that your Account Name, API Key, and List ID are accurate to avoid configuration errors.
• Retain Automatic Field Mappings: Use the default mappings for core fields to maintain consistency and reduce potential mapping mistakes.
• Use Descriptive Naming: Name your ActiveCampaign recipient step clearly in LeadConduit for easier troubleshooting and management.
• Regular Testing: Periodically run test leads to confirm that the integration remains functional and that data is correctly synchronized.
