I would like to see reCAPTCHAv3 ability for forms, I use an ActiveCampaign form for some gated content in which people can choose to subscribe to mailing list or not on their way in.Puzzle-style CAPTCHAs can be frustrating at times, and could be even more so to a person who just wants the content. I want to protect the gated content and the mailing list from bots via the same form, but I think the need is still as compelling for just the use of email sign up forms.I notice someone has already asked about this in another part of the forum; 

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

I received an email titled Action Required: Invalid Unsubscribe Link in Your Scheduled Campaign It looks fake. Far less fake than most scams. Can anyone confirm?

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!

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

Newer to the community here!Question regarding AC into Salesforce for updating fields. I think my automation isn’t triggering at the correct time. Here are my automation steps:Automation starts when someone submits a form Contact gets an email Internal team gets notified A new lead is created into Salesforce Tag is added  - added to salesforce Then Add lead to Salesforce campaignI have a separate automation that is doing the followingWhen added to salesforce tag is added Update lead source to ActiveCampaignFor someone reason the lead source isn’t updating. I have the fields mapped properly in the AC dashboard in Salesforce. I am thinking it may be the timing of it all? I tried added the “update lead source” after step 5 in the first automation but that didn’t work. The add to Salesforce campaign works although it takes 20 minutes!Any ideas on what could be the problem?

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. 

Hello,We are trying to use the bulk import API to upload our data with a csv file. I am able to send the file get a 200 response. However, when going into the Active Campaign site to verify the changes, only the custom field values are getting updated. The “First Name” included in the csv file is not reflected in Active Campaign record.Is there something specific we must include? We are using email as the identifier. Additionally, I am able to get the batches I imported via the API. However, when on the Active Campaign site, it does not show on the recent imports list. Is that intentional?  Thanks!

'search contact' box has disappeared.  have tried all the usuals - different browser, different computer, zoom screen. When I laoad contacts page it appears for a few seconds then vanishes. Any suggestions anyone? - It looks like a bug

I have a simple review email in the automation that asks people to pick between 1 and 5 stars, and I set a tag for every rating link to be applied. However, it doesn’t work. It links to the native form, where it then offers option to add feedback. BUT my primary goal is to capture the link with the rating clicked. It’s like link.com/f/74?stars=5&email=bob@gmail.com (email is dynamic). And this is sent to existing contacts. So puzzled, I even disabled site tracking but still doesn’t seem to get it to work. Please advise. 

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?

I have written a few hundred newsletters for my list and want to export them all. How do I do that?

The side menu has changed and campaigns are no longer an option. I tried the chat, and the AI only gave me instructions for the old wait of doing it. How can I create a campaign today, with the new setup?

Hi there,We have a Free Trial Onboarding email Automation, and an Active Customer Onboarding email Automation. Each of these is triggered when the freetrial or activecustomer field value changes to true, respectively. Right now, we also have to have a third automation to end the Free Trial Automation when the customer converts to a paid (Active Customer) during the trial period (this is triggered when the freetrial field changes to false and the activecustomer field changes to true). I would like to be able to build this “End Automation” step into the Free Trial Automation itself.I know that I could add if/else conditions before each email send, but that seems SO cludgy.I’m also trying to figure out if there’s a way to use the “Contacts Exit When” setting in the automation itself, using a Conversion, but I’m not understanding how to add the conversion itself into the automation. I created a Conversion for freetrial = false AND activecustomer = true, but those changes happen OUTSIDE of

Has anyone figured out a good way to exclude contacts who purchased a specific product via ecommerce from a segment?As far as I'm aware, the condition: "Product name in Any Order" IS NOT "Product A" doesn't work properly, because if a contact has ever purchased any other product, they will be included in the segment (because technically, the condition is true that at least one of their products was not the "Example Product").

My team exclusively uses our own HTML or custom templates. We only start from scratch. We’ve also found (and reported) many of the AI-driven insights to be unnecessarily inflammatory and alarmist. Alerts such as “critical changes needed” when the insight isn’t even truthful, are also slowing us down from completing our work.The AI tools are so prominent and dominant that it’s actually a hinderance to getting our work done now. Any way to opt out, rearrange, or disable the things we don’t use?  

Hi, is there a way to download all of the emails I have ever sent out? Or export them in a way where I can save what I have sent out?

Hello!I’m trying to create an automation that sends emails X, Y and Z HOURS before a webinar date and time stored in a Date Time Custom Field, and looks like ActiveCampaign only supports sending X DAYS before, but not hours.Is this correct or I’m I missing something? And is there a workaround if a want to send emails 1 hour, 8 hours and 16 hours before a date and time stored in a Date Time Custom Field?Thanks,Ángel.-

Hey folks,Recently our company has automated bulk campaign scheduling with n8n and the deliverability has been impacted.Just a few days before we automated this process, campaigns averaged 22% Open Rate, and 0.85% Click rate.Now we are at 9% OR and 0.65% CR.What remains the same from the process: senders, email content, accounts used, volume/frequency of emails, list of contactsWhat changed: we are retrieving the templates preview content, and adding it to the message that we created with the campaign. Before, we duplicated a previous campaign, edited the content and scheduled it manually all inside ActiveCampaign.These are the endpoints we are using, in order:Create Message (API v3): /api/3/messages Create Campaign (API v1): /admin/api.php?api_action=campaign_create Retrieve Template (API v3): /api/3/template Update Message (API v3): /api/3/messages/ Send Test Email (API v3): /admin/api.php?api_action=campaign_sendWould appreciate your help, as with such a high spam rate, we can't kee

HiI’ve recently setup WhatsApp via Active Campaign, using a rented UK mobile number from Twilio. All approved and setup in WhatsApp business manager. I’ve set the display name, however when I start new conversations they come from my mobile number number, not from my display name?Any suggestions?

Hey,I'm trying to extract contact usage and email usage that's available on the admin dashboard, to create an automation using API calls (check screenshot #2). For contact usage, I'm able to gather the data I need. But for email usage/credits/limits, I've tried using API v1, since apparently this information isn't available anywhere else, but even when using an Admin API key, I don't receive the "credits" available on the account (check screenshot #1 and the response I got from the call). While checking the API Key we are using, we made sure that the user is an Admin, that is added to the group "Admin", as instructed in the API docs.Our definition of email usage is: All emails sent in the current billing cycle (including Campaigns + automation sends) Also, we do have multiple accounts we intend to extract the email/contact usage to properly manage subscription upgrades and downgrades. We need to monitor throughout the cycle how much we have used and what's available in each account so

Hi there, I cancelled my account but was charged another $89. The whole contact you loop is a joke as I can only reach and AI bot that keep loosing connection or saying it cannot help but then no way to submit a ticket.   

I have a list of just over 700, and I haven’t sent an email in three years. Is it better to just start a new list as opposed to re-engagement? 

I have created an automation where I selected the contact list I uploaded and designed the email template. All the necessary steps appear to be completed; however, the automation is not sending out emails as expected.Could you please assist me in identifying what might be causing this issue and guide me on how to resolve it?

I am developing a CX app that is supposed to listen to abandoned carts, push the data to my API. I have created as part of this some custom objects. My goal is to receive custom webhook urls from AC and use these to push data at a later time (my app is no synchronous) to the custom objects that will then trigger another automation.The first part works - I receive the cart. What is not happening is any call to my webhook register url to receive the webhook URLs. It does not happen when I setup the app in my automation (the one that uses abandoned carts as a trigger). Since there are two workflows defined here - one is “automation” which works and the other is “generic” which never gets called because I have no idea how I would trigger it. Any idea? For a type: generic inbound workflow with a data_intake, where in the AC UI does the user trigger the connect/select/map setup flow?  Support doesn’t seem to know nor do the docs mention much.
