Can someone guide point me in the right direction to self set up on Activecampaign the following : Cart abandonment button for subscribers to opt out of only your current campaign but not your mailing list

I used the ecommerce graphql api endpoint to send product data via bulkUpsert. I can use the graphql api to retrieve the products via searchProduct. However, when I go to the Active Campaign website and try to create an email and use the Product Catalog block, I have no products available. I have tried selecting products manually and using filters and there are no products. What do I need to do to get my products to show up in the Product Catalog block?

I feel like this should be a relatively simple thing to do but have not been able to find a way to connect the dots and nothing comes up on google. How do I get the contacts who have been sent an email in the last week?

Hey I have a question regarding the bulkimport contacts endpoint. When i’m using the endpoint to import contacts in chunks, i get the following response: post response : {"success":0,"message":"JSON payload did not pass validation. Please fix failureReasons and retry. The import was not queued for processing.","failureReasons":[{"contact":222,"failureReason":"Field 'email' incorrect format"}]} get response : {"outstanding":[],"recentlyCompleted":[{"forDate":"2025-09-04","batches":"5","contacts":"516"}]} Therefore, I want a more detailed response from the api using the endpoint Bulk import status info (https://developers.activecampaign.com/reference/bulk-import-status-info), so i can see which exact emails could not import. However, the endpoint requests a batchId, which i have not received from the response. So far as I can see, it looks like I only will receive a batchId after a successful batch import, as I do get the batchId when I get a success response. Is there a way I can get th

As far as I can tell, in the v3 API, you can create and edit a campaign and create and edit a message, but there is no way to connect the message to the campaign. Even ChatGPT got confused and recommended using the v1 API instead. I feel like we must be missing something. Can anyone share the step by step process to create and send a campaign email in the API? Thanks!

From support, “The marketing CRM feature mentioned is the contact CRM. The Deals CRM or sales CRM with pipeline and sales management opportunity, is an add on to virtually all of our plans!” But what are the functions of ‘marketing crm’? From what I can tell so far, it is sending email newsletters, which is core function. But is that what they mean when AC says it includes some Customer Relationship Management functions in the base package, that you can add clients via webform and send them newsletters?

I created an automation in which the constraint included that email addresses “do not contain” the word “placeholder” (e.g., I have a lot of contacts without emails and I list them as [phone number]@placeholder.com). This step was completely ignored by the automation and I sent 900 emails that bounced. What did I do wrong?

Current Workflow & Integration Issue I’m using Gravity Forms on my website integrated with ActiveCampaign through Zapier to automatically create or update account records. My workflow involves form submissions that need to populate checkbox fields in ActiveCampaign accounts, and I require a single “Create or Update Account” action to handle both new account creation and existing account updates seamlessly. However, I’m experiencing critical issues with how checkbox fields are handled when using the “Create or Update Account” action in Zapier’s ActiveCampaign integration. Working Scenarios Single value to empty field: Successfully adds one checkbox value using “Create or Update Account” Appending to existing values: Works correctly when using the “Update Account” action (but not “Create or Update Account”) Problem Scenarios Issue 1: Adding Multiple Values to Empty Field When trying to add two values (e.g., “architecture, combined arts”) to an empty checkbox field using “Create or

Using Zapier action “Create or Update Contact”: Bug 1: Duplicate Values When appending a value that already exists in a checkbox field, the system creates a duplicate entry in the saved field display rather than ignoring it. Example: Contact has “Cross-sector support” selected → Zapier automation appends “Cross-sector support” again → Field shows “Cross-sector support” twice in the interface, even though functionally only one checkbox is selected. The duplicate value is returned in subsequent Find Contact responses. Bug 2: Invalid Values Accepted The system accepts and stores invalid values that aren’t actual checkbox options for that field. Example: Appending “random value” to a checkbox field succeeds, even though this isn’t a valid checkbox option. The invalid value is returned in subsequent Find Contact responses.

Hello, Ever since we moved to Active Campaign, most people I send test emails to (outside our organization) are not receiving my test emails. Internally, they seem to be okay, though. If they’re not hitting junk or spam folders, what else would be causing this? I send to contacts at various organization, and they receive my other emails without a problem. Thanks!

Hello, I’m having issues with the “conditional content” feature. When I enter a condition (to be met for a module to appear in a campaign), a dropdown menu isn’t appearing. I have to manually type the choice in the field. (We’ve used “conditional content” in past campaigns, and the dropdown used to appear.) Also, in a test email to the team, the conditional content appears when one of our team members opens the test email on his phone, but not when he opens it in Outlook. Help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I’m trying to use n8n to pull a list of contacts. I’ve tried 2 ways…using a filter to search first if contact is on a specific list and second if a custom date field is within 120 of current date…second method was using a direct api call to retrieve a segment using: get https://{youraccountname}.api-us1.com/api/3/segments/{id} but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to get the segment ID…so then I tried using https://{youraccountname}.api-us1.com/api/3/segments to get a list of segments…but that didn’t even return a list of my segments…i’m not sure what it returned…a bunch of segments with random names that aren’t even in my Segements are of my AC app. Can someone help me figure out how to find the segment ID? I’ve searched the web…can’t figure it out.

Hey there, AC community, would really appreciate any feedback from you, since I am having a problem with a specific form on our website. We are experiencing an issue with our automated email newsletter where a button that references a custom field is no longer working properly. This feature was previously functioning correctly but stopped working after we updated our newsletter template design. We have an automated email that sends a personalized PDF link to customers when they fill out a form (dynamic, should be updated uppon sending, depending on the url that is filled out on our website). The email contains a button that should link to a PDF URL stored in our custom field (field[31] / “Povezava za prenos”) When recipients click the button, they receive a “400 Bad Request” error instead of being directed to the PDF The button appears to be trying to submit a form to strokasi.activehosted.com/proc.php instead of redirecting to the custom field URL Technical Details: Custom field ID

I am developing a very basic Automation APP in app studio to call an external webhook and return some values. What i can’t get working is getting the automation to provide my return values to the next step. None of the examples show how to deal with values returned from the api calls. I have tried the “provides” block which is in the schema but not documented and that didn’t have any effect. I have also tried the map object which did show the map popup but none of my fields were displayed “map”: { “label”: “Map OneSeed Results to Contact Fields”, “describe_source”: { “label”: “OneSeed API Response”, “options”: { “!pipe”: [ { “!jq”: “[{"value":"success_status", "display":"Success Status (true/false)"}, {"value":"result_message", "display":"Result Message"}, {"value":"tree_link", "display":"Tree Link"}, {"value":"oneseed_id", "display":"OneSeed Contact ID"}]” } ] } }, “describe_target”: { “label”: “ActiveCampaign Contact Fields”, “options”: { “!resource”: “ActiveCampaignContact.fields” }

I’ve just signed up for the partner program. The only thing I can see in the dashboard is this message: " Within 90 days of joining the ActiveCampaign partner program, you must electronically sign the proper tax form to receive commission payments. If you do not complete the form before 08/22/2024, you will forfeit all accrued commissions. [Click here to start the signing process!]" Which implies I can still promote, I just need to finish this form. But I can’t see my affiliate link anywhere. How do I get my actual affiliate link?

I want to create segment with filtered keywords. However, segment is limited the 3 contain operator. Is there a way to do this? For example, I want to create segment based on job titles. For this, I want to use “Human”, “HR”, “People”, “Talent”, “Learning”, “Training” keywords for HR group. However, this is 6 contains search group and is not allowed. Is there a way to do this? Or do I need to create 2 different segments for it?

Hi - I am trying to create an automation that adds a tag if to a contact if an email hard bounces. Everything I am finding online says that there is a “New Campaign Bounce” trigger but it does not show up. Any ideas?

Hi, We are currently using ActiveCampaign forms embedded on our website, with some added CSS in the embed code. However, when a user does not fill out all required fields, they are sent to a separate ActiveCampaign webpage. On this page the custom CSS also does not stick. I was wondering if it is at all possible to display the form error to the user on our own webpage, instead of sending them away to a different one. If anyone knows how to do this, please let me know. Thanks!

I had an automation with 500 email contacts, they completed a 5 email series. Now I would like to use the same automation/ contacts and restart the automation from specific date. I tried but it did not start and says no one in list. The original list was started by tag being added. Ideas of what I can do
