Authenticate between Surveys API and ActiveCampaign using secure API keys and OAuth where available; store credentials safely and rotate keys regularly.
ActiveCampaign should be connected via OAuth 2.0 or an API token; ensure the app has proper scopes for posting and reading survey data.

This section explains the core components: API endpoints, authentication flows, triggers, and data mapping.
A set of rules and tools that lets two applications communicate and share data.
A URL that receives real time event data from another service.
An authorization framework that grants limited access tokens to apps without sharing user credentials.
A secret key used to authenticate API requests.
Create new contacts from survey data and place them into targeted lists based on responses.
Automatically start campaigns when a respondent completes a survey or reaches a score threshold.
Push summarized survey results into ActiveCampaign custom fields and reports for insights.
Obtain API keys, connect the apps, and grant necessary permissions.
Map survey fields to ActiveCampaign fields and set up triggers.
Run tests, verify data sync, and enable automation flows.
The Surveys API connection lets you bridge survey data with ActiveCampaign automations. It enables real time data flow and trigger driven actions without manual data entry. You can map survey responses to contact fields and automate campaign enrollment. This setup supports scalable workflows for growing audiences. You can start with the four core endpoints to post, update, delete, or modify posts and leverage triggers to drive downstream actions in ActiveCampaign.
No code is required for basic use thanks to the no code automation features. Advanced users can extend functionality with custom mappings and conditional triggers. If you need deeper customization, you can still implement custom logic via API calls. For most setups, the built in UI handles authentication, endpoint configuration, and field mapping.
You can sync contact data, campaign data, and basic survey responses. The mapping supports key fields such as location identifiers, post or contact IDs, and selected response values. Complex data like scores or multi select responses can be mapped into custom fields or tags. Always validate mappings with test data before going live.
Security is ensured through standard API authentication options and scoped access. Use API keys or OAuth tokens with the minimum required permissions. Rotate credentials regularly and store them securely. All data transmitted between the Surveys API and ActiveCampaign is protected with industry standard encryption.
To test, use a staging environment or sandbox accounts to run through sample survey submissions. Verify that data appears in ActiveCampaign as expected, triggers fire correctly, and that error messages are handled gracefully. Monitor logs for any failed requests and adjust mappings or permissions accordingly.
Yes, field mappings are customizable. You can map survey fields to any ActiveCampaign contact or custom fields, adjust trigger conditions, and decide which responses should enroll contacts into campaigns. For complex needs, you can implement multi step mappings or use calculated fields to derive values before syncing.
Endpoint details are documented in the integration guide and can also be viewed inside the app when you set up the connection. If you need a quick reference, you can export the endpoint list from the configuration screen. For developers, the endpoint paths and supported verbs are provided to facilitate custom implementations.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
