Ask a Question

Looking through the status dashboard of ActiveCampaign, one doesn’t see the near-daily platform problems -- entire record types disappearing, scheduled sends delayed for 1+ hours, WYSIWYG editor not loading -- and instead shows day after day of “no downtime recorded.” Why is this? Why is the day to day usability of the platform, which is regularly degraded and reflected with a “Partially Degraded Service” message, not reflected in the status dashboard for today or nearly every other day? 

The support I get from the A.I. Chatbot has me going around in circles since the answers it gives do not resolve my issues. Is there a way to bypass this and go directly to an actual human being in support?

Hello, anyone else dealing with their Deals page going missing? This suddenly happened, and I see no way to restore it.

Hey ACers,Is the Campaigns page down for you as well? I cannot access anything in my Campaigns area. The rest of the platform is fine (Contacts, etc)As soon as even select the email tab to choose a subpage, it redirects to an Auth Token Error pageI’ve tried everything (clearing cache, incog, different VPN, different browser, etc). Nothing works. Everything was working fine yesterday.I’ve been using AC for a decade and am not unfamiliar with basic browser issues etc.Also, I can’t even open a real ticket - the only option I have for support is the AI chat, which refuses to handoff to an actual human or open a ticket. It will not get out of gatekeeping mode.Considering how much I spend each month ($300+) and how long I’ve been a customer, one would hope that I wouldn’t be relegated to chatting with “AC-GPT” when there’s a critical break.Apologies for the vent, but this is such a bad look for something that’s supposed to be best in class.Anyway, just wondering if I’m the only one?Thanks

I'm working on a Nintendo-focused gaming website called TomodachiLifeROM, where I publish game guides, 3D gaming content, and tutorials.I'm planning to use ActiveCampaign to improve email marketing and automate communication with visitors, and I'd appreciate some recommendations.Here are a few questions:What automation would you recommend for a content-heavy gaming website? Is it better to organize subscribers using tags, lists, or segments for different Nintendo game categories? What's the best way to automatically send newly published game guides to interested subscribers? Have you found any effective automation workflows that increase engagement without sending too many emails? Are there any best practices for maintaining a clean contact database as the subscriber list grows?I'd love to hear how other ActiveCampaign users organize their automations and email strategy for content-focused websites.

I’d like to be able to create a custom report showing the total value of deals (won, open and lost) by contact. However, in the contact dimensions, there are no fields that I could use to identify related deals. In the deals dimensions, there are no fields I could use to identify related contacts. Therefore, I cannot see how to create a custom report directly or how to merge two different reports. Can anyone help?

Hello, New AC user, i’ve successfully linked Salesforce with AC but am having a contact sync issue. I’m attempting to perform a sync on contacts that meet a specific criteria (run on a custom field “Email Verification Status = Valid”) so I bring in only contacts that I have verified their email addresses. The sync state on these contacts never change and never sync. 've tried multiple sync options with no luck. I was able to sync a user when changing the contact sync option to “All Contacts created/updated from this point forward” and added a new user so I know the connection works. Any insight would be helpful.

Hi All, I have been tasked with ensuring that no cookies fire on my site until someone gives consent because of GDPR and Quebec 25. If I put the ActiveCampaign tracking code in the footer of my site, will that keep it from firing before consent is given, or is there some additional code I need to include or a button that I need to toggle to keep that from happening?  How do I ensure that the AC cookie doesn’t fire before consent is given? Any assistance and information you can provide would be greatly appreciated.  Kathy

My staff currently have to manually log in and download the invoice at the beginning of the month. We would like to receive it by email. Where can I set this up to automatically send the invoice to accounting at the beginning of each month?

Hi there, has anyone experienced an issue with open tasks and deal owner glitches. We can’t work it out, we’ve logged in using different sets and browsers on our work PCs  and these functions no longer work, yet if we log in on personal laptops or PCVs they both work.  The issues are - we can see the task, but if we click on deal - the view completed / view open tasks returns as zero despite there being a task against the deal. Also the deal owner option isn’t showing us our prepopulated drop down lists. Any ideas - we use Edge, tried Chrome - neither work and we have looked at our browser settings, reset our PC profiles - all with no luck!?! 

On June 3, I received more than 49,000 bulk signups. The only information I see about bulk removals is to setup up tracking of who hasn’t opened an email in the past 90 days, but I don’t want to wait 90 days to fix this. How can I bulk remove them?

Hey AC,just a heads up that your Webhook UI (the one under Settings > Developers > Webhooks) offers a way to define Signature and other Headers. When entered and saved, the signature/headers is shown again while editing the same webhook (so it seems they are correctly saved along the other webhook data).BUT: neither signature (which itself is also just a header with redacted value field) nor the other public headers are sent along. Not while sending test data, nor when receiving real triggered data.Please fix this bug asap or remove the UI that suggests the feature is available.PS: If it helps, the webhook in question is an unsubscribe webhook with contact, user and system initiated sources.

Hi everyone,We are seeing a deliverability issue with ActiveCampaign emails sent from our own domain, and I’m curious whether others have experienced the same thing.SetupWe send newsletters from our own domain: @konfront.io Example sender address: kv@konfront.io Our sending domain in ActiveCampaign is: Authenticated Verified DMARC exists on our domain SPF passes Composite authentication passesThe problemEmails are delivered fine to Gmail, but when we send to our own Microsoft 365 / Outlook inboxes, the emails do not appear in the inbox.In ActiveCampaign, the emails are marked as Delivered.When we checked Microsoft 365 / Defender quarantine, we found that the emails were being quarantined as:Quarantine reason: High Confidence Phish Policy type: Anti-spam policy Delivery action: Blocked Detection technologies: URL detonation reputationImportant findingIn Microsoft Defender’s URL analysis, one of the URLs in the message is being flagged as phishing.The URL being flagged appears to be th

Hi everyone,We’ve got new updates in the product as you’ve seen! And we wanted to open up a space to talk about what’s new and what you’re most interested in trying.Changelog updates can be helpful on their own, but it’s always even better to hear how those changes connect to the work you’re actually doing.So let’s talk about it!Which recent update caught your attention first? What are you planning to try in your account? Is there anything new you’d want to see explained with more examples or real-world use cases?If you’ve already tested something new, I’d love to hear how it went! What worked well, what surprised you, or what would you still like to learn more about? 

New to the community here! We are on the tail end of implementation and have a question regarding event tracking. We are having issues finding any developer documentation for event tracking to GA4 & Plausible. Before we add our own solution, is there an official way to track successful form submissions to third parties like GA4 and Plausible.We are not talking about ACs integrated overall event tracking solution we can enable in the AC dashboard. We don’t just use Google Analytics, we have other tracking platforms we need to track form submissions/events...help please!

My manager asked me yesterday whether we could allow website visitors to book a meeting directly with a salesperson, based on whether they are a known contact (by email domain) or by selecting a salesperson/territory from a dropdown. If the person was not a client, their email would be routed to our net-new sales executive. We currently use NinjaForms on our site and Salesforce as our CRM. An AI search said I should use Calendly. The key is that I already pay for all these platforms (including Microsoft Bookings, which is like Calendly), and I don’t want to add another one. So, can I use ActiveCampaign to do this task?  Would love some brainstorming ideas from the community. 

Hey everyone, I’m a former ActiveCampaign user and I’ve just reactivated my account this morning !! I was wondering if it’s possible to integrate the MailTester.Ninja API into the app. It’s super easy to use and could make things much simpler for a lot of people.Thanks in advance

Hi gang,I am having the HARDEST time trying to attribute utm tracking with our Calendly events in ActiveCampaign.I can see the utm data in Calendly, but I do not see any of that data available to pass through into ActiveCampaign, whether it be through the direct integration in AC, or through an automation that triggers when an event happens (trying to find the data and then update a field like “Original Source” or “Latest Source”).Every time I try to work with ActiveIntelligence, it proposes ideas (or builds automations) that are not working. Is there an obvious solution that I am missing?

Hi everyone,We have used ActiveCampaign for newsletters for many years without major deliverability issues. Since Wednesday, our test emails and campaigns have suddenly stopped reaching inboxes properly.ActiveCampaign shows the emails as sent, but recipients mostly do not receive them or few they land in spam/junk. We have not made any changes to our usual templates, sender domains, content style, or list setup.What we have checked:Our sending domains show as authenticated in ActiveCampaign. Recent campaign performance has been strong. We tested with link tracking disabled, but the issue remained. Personal Gmail did not receive the test. Work Outlook-email did not receive the test. Personal Outlook received it in spam/junk.From the original Outlook message details authentication appears to pass:SPF: pass DKIM: pass DMARC: pass compauth: passHowever, Microsoft classified the message as high-confidence spam:SCL: 9 BCL: 0 Delivery: Junk / spamThe email appears to be sent via ActiveCampaig

We're planning a comprehensive Ruby on Rails industry report and have already built the dedicated survey landing page.Current stack we use:React Strapi ActiveCampaignNow, I'm unsure how to go-ahead with ActiveCampaign for this. The goal is to analyze the data later for the final report. Has anyone tried it? How would you approach this with activecampaign?

Hello,We submitted our App Studio integration more than five business days ago and its status is still showing as Submitted, without moving to the review stage.This integration is being developed for an active customer implementation, and our delivery timeline currently depends on the App Studio approval.Could you please check if there are any issues with our submission or if there is any additional information required from our side? If possible, we would also appreciate any assistance in prioritizing the review.Thank you in advance.

We would also like to request a complete audit of the domains currently being used for our email communications.The objective is to identify any issues or opportunities for improvement that may be affecting our email deliverability, sender reputation, inbox placement, and overall email performance.Could you please review and provide recommendations regarding: Domain reputation and health SPF, DKIM and DMARC configuration Dedicated vs. shared sending domains Tracking domain configuration Email authentication best practices Potential spam or deliverability risks Domain warm-up status (if applicable) Opportunities to improve inbox placement and sender reputation Please share any findings, recommendations, or actions that you believe could help us improve the performance of our email marketing activities.

In the abandoned cart email, products are currently displayed in a single-column layout (one product per row), which makes the email excessively long whenever multiple items are present in the cart.In addition, the current presentation is not visually appealing and gives the email a low-quality appearance, especially when the cart contains several products. The layout feels cluttered and does not reflect the professional image we want to convey through our brand communications.We would like to change the product section to a two-column grid layout, displaying 2 products per row (2x2, 2x3, etc., depending on the number of items in the cart), while keeping each product's image, name, price, and call-to-action button.Example:Product 1 | Product 2Product 3 | Product 4Product 5 | Product 6The goal is to reduce the overall length of the email, improve readability, create a more professional and visually appealing design, and ultimately increase cart recovery rates.

Hello community,We pulls email_activity records from the /api/3/emailActivities endpoint, and I'm encountering inconsistent results between API calls made on different dates. I wanted to check if anyone else has run into this and found a reliable workaround. The Problem:I called the /api/3/emailActivities endpoint (unfiltered) on June 16, and it returned 239 records. The most recent record had a timestamp of June 16.I called the same endpoint again on June 18 and 20 June, it returned 261 records and 271 records respectively  more records than before(June 16). However, many of the new records have timestamps from June 8 and June 10, which are dates that were already in the past when I made my first call on June 16. Most recent record had tstamp of June 16 Only.This means records from June 8 and June 10 were not returned in my June 16 call, but appeared later in my June 18 and June 20 call.  Is there a recommended approach for building a reliable incremental sync against this endpoint? A
