Step 1: Create API credentials

In Memberships API settings, generate an API key with the scope users.readonly and securely store it.

Step 2: Connect in ActiveCampaign

Use the Zapier App Connector to authorize and map triggers (e.g., contact updates) and actions (e.g., update membership).

Step 3: Test and deploy

Run end-to-end tests, verify field mappings, then enable live syncing and monitor for errors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to code to set this up?

You don’t need to code to implement the basics. The setup uses an app connector that handles authentication and data flow. If you’re comfortable with basic configuration, you can complete the integration with guided prompts. For advanced needs, you can extend mappings and automations using conditional logic. If you run into issues, consult the onboarding checklist and retry steps in the app’s connector settings.

Typically, contact and membership fields are synced: id, email, name, membershipTier, status, and lastActive. You can map these fields to corresponding ActiveCampaign contact fields or custom fields. Field mappings can be adjusted in the app connector to fit your data model. Regularly validate data integrity via test runs and dashboards.

Yes. Use a sandbox or test environment to simulate signups and membership changes. The app connector supports staging data so you can verify mapping, triggers, and actions without touching live customers. After testing, deploy with a gradual rollback plan in case of unexpected issues.

For a basic sync, you’ll typically need endpoints to list users and fetch a user by ID. Authentication and proper field mappings are essential. Additional endpoints can be added as your workflow requires, but the core flow relies on users/list and users/{id}. Always test after enabling each endpoint.

The preferred method is API key authentication with a restricted scope (users.readonly) for security. ActiveCampaign can connect via OAuth or API key depending on your org’s policy. Ensure credentials are stored securely and rotated regularly.

Implement retries with exponential backoff and log errors for visibility. The connector can retry transient failures; for persistent issues, review credential validity, endpoint availability, and rate limits. Set up alerts to notify your team if retries exceed thresholds.

Refer to the official integration guide, developer docs, and the example workflows within the app connector. You can also access community tutorials, short videos, and sample JSON mappings to accelerate setup.
