Use your Email API credentials to authenticate requests to the GHL integration. Store keys securely and grant only the permissions your workflow requires (Scope: users.write).
Create or locate your ActiveCampaign API key and API URL, then grant the Email API access to read and write contacts, lists, and courses as needed.
Key endpoints include: POST /users/ (create), PUT /users/:userId (update), DELETE /users/:userId (remove), GET /workflows/ (list), POST /courses/courses-exporter/public/import (import courses).
Trigger when a new contact is added in Email API to create or update a contact in ActiveCampaign.
Actions: create or update contact records in ActiveCampaign based on Email API data; optionally delete contacts.
POST /users/ to create; PUT /users/:userId to update; DELETE /users/:userId to remove.
Key fields: email, firstName, lastName, status
Trigger when ActiveCampaign workflows are updated to fetch and react in Email API.
Actions: read workflows; respond to workflow events and align data between systems.
GET /workflows/
Workflow fields: workflow_id, name, status
Trigger when a new course is added in Email API to import into ActiveCampaign courses.
Actions: POST /courses/courses-exporter/public/import to bring in courses; map course fields accordingly.
POST /courses/courses-exporter/public/import
Course fields: course_id, title, category
Automate data flow between Email API and ActiveCampaign without writing code.
Rapid setup with pre-built endpoints and triggers that you can customize visually.
Improve accuracy and consistency of contact and course data across both systems.
In this guide you’ll learn about API Endpoints, Authentication, Triggers, and Data Mapping that enable seamless integration between Email API and ActiveCampaign.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to perform a discrete action in an API.
Process of verifying identity and granting access to API resources, typically via API keys or OAuth.
An event or condition that starts a workflow or data sync.
A URL endpoint that receives real-time data from another service.
Trigger a personalized welcome email sequence when a new contact is added to Email API and it syncs with ActiveCampaign.
Notify users via ActiveCampaign when courses are enrolled or completed in Email API and keep records in sync.
Trigger internal workflows in ActiveCampaign when a new purchase is recorded in Email API.
Obtain your Email API keys and ActiveCampaign API keys, then store them securely in your connector.
Align fields like email, firstName, lastName, and custom fields between both systems.
Run end-to-end tests, monitor logs, and switch the connector live when ready.
The available endpoints focus on core data and automation: you’ll typically use POST /users/ to create contacts, PUT /users/:userId to update them, and DELETE /users/:userId to remove them. For automations, GET /workflows/ gives you a list of workflows you can trigger. You can also import courses with POST /courses/courses-exporter/public/import. Always test endpoints in a staging environment first to confirm data mapping and responses. Keep security in mind by restricting scope to users.write and avoiding over-permissive access.
No heavy coding is required. The integration uses pre-built actions and triggers to map fields and synchronize data between Email API and ActiveCampaign. Use the visual editor to connect endpoints and configure data flow without writing code. If you have more specific needs, you can augment with lightweight scripts or use a middleware like Zapier as a bridge.
Authenticate with API keys from Email API and ActiveCampaign and protect those keys. Rotate credentials regularly and limit permissions to the minimum necessary. If supported, use OAuth or token-based authentication and store credentials securely.
Yes. You can map custom fields between the two systems. In the mapping interface, create corresponding fields in ActiveCampaign for any custom fields you maintain in Email API so data aligns during sync.
You can sync contacts and the related course data exposed by the endpoints. The Users, Workflows, and Courses endpoints enable keeping contact data, automation, and course enrollment in alignment across both tools.
Test the integration in a safe environment first. Run sample requests, verify responses, and review the logs. Validate field mappings and data integrity before going live.
Logs are available in the connector’s dashboard. If errors occur, check the request/response details, verify authentication keys, and review field mappings. Re-run tests after adjustments to confirm resolution.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
