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.-

Happy Thursday, Community!On Tuesday, we talked about Relevance over Recurrence—the idea that what you say and who you say it to matters far more than just sending because it’s Tuesday.But even the most relevant message can get lost if it hits the inbox at the wrong time. Today’s tip is about closing that gap using Predictive Sending. The Tip: Let Data Dictate the DoorwayWhile you are busy focusing on the strategy and the “Human-in-the-Loop” moments, you can let technology handle the logistical “when.” Predictive sending isn’t just a scheduling tool; it’s a way to honor your customer’s habits.Instead of choosing a “best time to send” based on a generic global study, use the data living in your account to send messages based on individual engagement patterns.Why this matters for your strategy:The “Top of Inbox

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?

Hello!Image uploads are broken in the community. Here is a video of the issue:  Could you please take a look and fix it?Thanks,Ángel.-

Welcome to Week 3 of the Active Intelligence Challenge! 🚀Week 3 is here, and it’s time to stop sending to the same old segments just because they’re already there. Most marketers use the same lists because building new ones is time-consuming, but this week, you’re letting Active Intelligence do the heavy lifting. Your task this week: Use Active Intelligence to uncover a "hidden" audience in your list that you haven’t targeted yet. One prompt, one fresh audience, zero manual digging. Here is your prompt to run in Active Intelligence:Copy a

 Great job, Session 2!You just built your first segments, campaign, and personalization flow in Active Intelligence - nice work. Here’s what to do next and a few resources to keep the momentum going before Session 3. 📌 Your One Action This WeekTake one thing you built in Session 2 and refine it:your segment your campaign your CTA or your formIf you want an easy place to start, I’d recommend tightening one segment and then updating the campaign prompt to match it.

I have created an idea Where my request is to have the possibility of add a contact to more then one account. This is lacking in AC and available in every CRM system.​​​​​​ 

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 av

Happy Tuesday, Community! We’ve all heard that "consistency is king." For years, the gold standard has been the weekly newsletter, sent rain or shine, because "that’s what we always do."But here is the strategic hard truth: A consistent schedule doesn't guarantee a consistent connection.If you are sending a message just because the calendar says so, you aren’t building a relationship; you’re just creating a routine. Today, the real competitive advantage is moving from Calendar-Based Sends to Value-Based Sends. The Strategy: Audit the "Why" Before the "When"Instead of starting with the clock, start with the customer's journey. Strategic relevance is about moving away from "shouting into the crowd" and toward "answering the call."The shift looks like this: Focus on Intent: Stop asking "When should I send?" and start asking "Wha

Welcome to Week 2 of the Active Intelligence Challenge! 🏆Week 2 is here, and this task is a "Quick Win" you’ll likely use every single week from now on. The goal? Never starting with a blank subject line box again.Your task this week: Use Active Intelligence to brainstorm five subject line variations for your next send. Pick the one that fits, mix and match, or use the best parts of each—just don’t start from zero! Here is your prompt to run in Active Intelligence:"Write 5 subject line variations for an email about

A massive shout-out to everyone who jumped into the Active Intelligence Challenge this week! It was incredible to see how you all used the "Strategic Scout" to move past the blank-page syndrome and brainstorm high-impact subject lines.We saw some brilliant variations; from curiosity-driven hooks to direct, value-first headers.  Congratulations to our Week 2 Winners:​@erikcrighton  ​@koalabear_3  ​@dbrok23 ​@pameladenise ​@tatumhanna ​

Happy Thursday, Community!On Tuesday, we talked about the power of the Human-in-the-Loop system; using automations to tell you exactly when a customer needs a person, not a prompt. Today, we’re looking at the tactical "secret sauce" to make those human moments seamless. The Tip: Move beyond "You have a new lead" alerts and build a Context Brief into your Internal Notifications.When you trigger an internal notification to yourself or your sales team, don't just send a name and an email. Use Personalization Tags to pull in the data your "Strategic Scout" (Active Intelligence) has been tracking. What to include in your "Smart Alert":Instead of a blank email, set your notification to include: The Intent Trigger: "This person just visited the [Product Name] pricing page 3 times." The Recent Win: "They j

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!

 Starting next Tuesday, we're running one challenge a week for five weeks. Each one takes about 5 minutes, uses Active Intelligence, and ends with something you actually made. By the end of May, you’ll have used Active Intelligence five times in five different ways and know exactly how to make each one work for you. Here's what's coming:Week 1: Analyze your last campaign and find out what to change before your next send Week 2: Generate subject line variations for an upcoming email Week 3:

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? 

Happy Tuesday, Community! As we dive deeper into our Active Intelligence Challenge, there is a strategic paradox we need to address: The more we automate, the more valuable a personal connection becomes.In a world where every inbox is filled with AI-generated drafts and perfectly timed sequences, "Human-in-the-Loop" excellence is becoming your new competitive advantage. The Strategy: Automation as a "Human Alert System"The goal of high-level strategy isn't to remove the human from the business; it’s to use technology to identify exactly when a human is needed. Instead of automating 100% of the journey, use your data to trigger High-Value Human Moments. Strategic leaders are shifting their focus to: Identifying the "Hand-Raise": When a contact visits your pricing page three times in one hour, don't just send another a

Happy Monday, Community! A new week is here, and the best way to ensure you’re making progress on your business goals is to be intentional with your time.
