Key fields: email, firstName, lastName, phone
Trigger: Campaign or automation events in ActiveCampaign
Actions: Mirror campaigns in GHL, trigger automations when events occur
Method paths: POST /campaigns and POST /automations
Key fields: campaignName, automationId, status
Trigger: New lead or update in ActiveCampaign, enrichment data available
Actions: enrich GHL contact with ActiveCampaign data; segment lists
Method path: PATCH /contacts/{id} and POST /contacts/{id}/enrich
Key fields: email, id, tags
Eliminate custom scripting with visual workflows and connectors.
Accelerate time-to-value with ready-made connectors and templates.
Maintain data consistency across apps with automated field mapping.
A quick glossary of terms and core processes used in GHL API and ActiveCampaign integrations.
Application Programming Interface that lets apps talk to each other.
A specific URL path in an API to perform an action.
Process of proving identity to access an API, usually via API keys or OAuth tokens.
A URL that receives real-time notifications when an event occurs.
Automatically route new ActiveCampaign contacts to the right GHL lists and pipelines.
Map and synchronize custom fields to keep data consistent across platforms.
Trigger automations in GHL when specific ActiveCampaign events occur.
Collect API keys and OAuth credentials from both platforms and store securely.
Set base URLs, headers, and field mappings between ActiveCampaign and the GHL API.
Run test syncs, validate data integrity, then enable automation in production.
The integration uses standard security practices such as encrypted connections (HTTPS) and token-based authentication. Follow best practices: rotate keys, restrict permissions, and monitor activity.
No heavy coding is required; you can configure logic with visual workflows or zero-code connectors. If you need custom logic, you can add small scripts or use webhooks.
Yes, you can map ActiveCampaign fields to GHL fields. This ensures data consistency across both systems.
Use built-in methods like API keys and OAuth tokens, and store credentials securely. Refresh tokens as required and rotate keys periodically.
Start with core endpoints such as contacts and campaigns. Then expand to automations, forms, and webhooks as your needs grow.
Yes. You can pull historical data by configuring date ranges and importing past records. Plan for deduplication and rate limits.
Most services impose rate limits; check both platforms’ limits and design backoff strategies. Use batching and caching to stay within quotas.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
