ActiveCampaign

ActiveCampaign node reference - all 153 operations, the credential it needs, and a worked example.

ActiveCampaign v3 API (Email marketing + CRM). 153 operations: contacts (create, sync, update, delete, search and every sub-resource), tags, lists and subscriptions, contact custom fields and values, deals, pipelines and stages, deal custom fields, tasks and task types, deal secondary contacts, CRM accounts and account-contact associations, account custom fields, notes, automations and enrolments, campaign and message reads, e-commerce orders, customers, line items and connections, webhooks, forms and scoring rules.

Credential: ActiveCampaign account:apiToken - see Credentials.

Permissions

ActiveCampaign has no scope, permission or capability system. Its authentication reference documents exactly one thing - an Api-Token header - and adds that "each user in your ActiveCampaign account has their own unique API key", so what a token may do is whatever its OWNING USER may do. There is no consent screen and no box to tick, and every operation below is authorised by the same key. A 401 or 403 therefore never means a missing grant: it means the account slug or token in the credential is wrong (the slug is part of the API host - https://<account>.api-us1.com/api/3 - so a wrong one is indistinguishable from a bad key), the key belongs to a user who cannot reach that record, or the feature is not included in the account's plan (the e-commerce endpoints are the usual case). Limit the blast radius by issuing the key under a user with a restricted account role. Note that ActiveCampaign's App Studio does expose an OAuth2 scopes property, but those are the scopes a published app requests on the THIRD-PARTY services it integrates with - not grants on the ActiveCampaign API itself, and not what this credential holds.

Example

Add a contact and tag it in one place in the workflow

ActiveCampaign automations are usually triggered by a tag, so "create the contact" and "tag it" are two halves of one intent. syncContact is the upsert — it creates or updates by email rather than failing on a duplicate, which is what a webhook that may fire twice needs.

Set Operation to syncContact, then fill in:

Field	Value	Notes
`email`	`{{ myTrigger.email }}`	The identity ActiveCampaign matches on
`firstName`	`{{ myTrigger.firstName }}`
`lastName`	`{{ myTrigger.lastName }}`
`phone`	`{{ myTrigger.phone }}`
`fieldValuesJson`	`[{"field": "1", "value": "{{ myTrigger.plan }}"}]`	Custom fields, addressed by ActiveCampaign's numeric field id — list them with listFields first

Sets {{contact.id}} and {{contact.email}}. Feed {{contact.id}} into a following addTagToContact node to fire the automation.
