Begin by authorizing the ActiveCampaign GHL connection via OAuth or API key, ensuring read and write permissions for contacts and campaigns.
Grant access for Zapier App Connector to manage triggers and actions, and select the GHL API name to connect to.
The endpoints below enable core operations such as creating, updating, and retrieving contacts, campaigns, notes, and custom fields. Use triggers to start automations and actions to modify data in ActiveCampaign GHL through Zapier App Connector. Each endpoint includes a method path that you map in your workflow.
Trigger: New or updated contact in ActiveCampaign GHL
Actions: Create or update contact in ActiveCampaign, assign tags, subscribe to lists
Method: POST /contacts
Key fields: email, firstName, lastName, phone
Trigger: Campaign sent in ActiveCampaign GHL
Actions: Create campaign records in Zapier App Connector, update campaign status, log sends
Method: POST /campaigns
Key fields: campaign_id, name, subject
Trigger: Note added or updated in ActiveCampaign
Actions: Create or update notes in Zapier App Connector, map custom fields
Method: POST /notes or /custom-fields
Key fields: note, field_id, related_contact_id
Fast setup with drag-and-drop triggers and actions—no coding required.
Robust automations between ActiveCampaign GHL and Zapier App Connector for consistent data sync.
Centralized control of workflows with real-time updates and retries on failures.
Understand the core concepts: endpoints, triggers, actions, and method paths, plus field mappings used to connect GHL to APPNAME.
A specific URL in the GHL API that performs a defined operation (GET, POST, PATCH, DELETE).
An event in GHL that starts an automation in APPNAME (e.g., new contact, updated field).
A task executed by APPNAME in response to a trigger (e.g., create contact, add tag).
The API path used in requests, such as /contacts.
Automatically push new contacts to downstream tools, triggering welcome emails and tagging.
Create and queue campaigns in ActiveCampaign when a form is submitted in another app.
Score leads automatically based on interactions and trigger nurture flows in real time.
Connect and authorize the ActiveCampaign GHL API name (ActiveCampaign GHL) in Zapier App Connector.
Choose triggers like New Contact and map actions such as Create or Update Contact.
Run tests, deploy the workflow, and monitor logs to ensure reliability.
We support OAuth and API key authentication for the GHL API. Choose the method that matches your security policy. In Zapier App Connector, connect once and reuse credentials securely for multiple automations. If you need additional security, consider enabling scope-limited tokens and rotating credentials regularly.
Yes. You can map custom fields between GHL and APPNAME using field mapping in the Zapier App Connector. This ensures data parity and triggers on the correct attributes. Keep a master mapping document to maintain consistency across automations.
If an operation fails, the integration retries according to the configured policy, and you can view detailed error messages in the connector logs. You can also set up alerts. Use exponential backoff to handle transient issues gracefully.
ActiveCampaign GHL has rate limits for API calls. Plan your automation to respect quotas, and use batching and exponential backoff to handle spikes. If you anticipate high volume, consider tiered workflows or batching strategies.
Implement conflict resolution rules in your app logic. Use last-updated or source-of-truth criteria to decide which data wins. Document your rules so automations behave consistently across environments.
Yes. Use the test mode in Zapier App Connector and sandbox data or a staging environment to verify changes before applying to production. Always run end-to-end tests that mirror real user scenarios.
If you need help, open a ticket with our support team or consult the developer documentation. Community forums and FAQs are also available. We respond quickly to ensure your automations stay healthy.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
