Optimising email opens & clicks just went wow 🤩 for Automation Emails in ActiveCampaign! An easy-to-use Automation Email Split Test feature is in your accounts now 🥳 You know split testing, right? That thing you’re meant to do, but just… don’t… because it’s way too technical? Well, my friends, it’s time to embrace actual email optimisation instead of just fantasising about it. ActiveCampaign just made it easy to see real numbers for your email recipients so you can see: ❓ does throwing their first name into the subject line improve open rates for onboarding? ❓ do your people click more for gifs than static images when you want them to watch a video? ❓ will a funny subject line win on opens vs an informative one for your payment fail emails? Imagine knowing the answers to all those things you wondered about but never had time to dig into 🤯 This is a big win for AC users, and it’s on ALL plans except Starter (and maybe legacy Lite plans if

Hi all, I was trying to list all my deal pipelines using the API end point. The official documentation here suggests to use the https://{youraccountname}.api-us1.com/api/3/dealGroups url. However we are not located in the US and our account’s url uses activehosted instead of api-us1. Upon replacing the api-us1 bit with activehosted, it returns all the deal stages with their associated deal group/pipeline, instead of the pipelines and the list of stages inside the pipeline as shown on the official docs. In other words, using https://myaccount.activehosted.com/api/3/dealGroups I got the same output as from https://myaccount.activehosted.com/api/3/dealStages. Does anyone know what the url is if I want to get the output in the same format as from the official docs? Thanks very much

Anyone else experiencing issues with AC? Can’t seem to load content into fields. Constantly being kicked off having the login session expire. Have tried using different web browsers, restarting devices, using the website and the app version, disconnecting and reconnecting the internet and even trying to contact support through the chat bot - logging the issue. No email response as yet. Can anyone provide any updates as to what might be causing this or what we can do to solve the problem. Thanks

I used the sample code (below) but I get an error “Error: FetchError: Not Found” with the code below, but when I try the “shell code” (curl --request GET --url 'https://dollarvigilante.api-us1.com/api/3/contacts?search=null&segmentid=null&status=-1&orders%5Bid%5D=ASC&orders%5Bemail$5D=ASC' --header 'Api-Token: OURAPIKEY' --header 'accept: application/json') it works fine. Here’s the code that says “Not Found”: const port = 3222; // Choose a port that's not already in use import activecampaign from '@api/activecampaign'; activecampaign.auth(OURAPIKEY); async function processRequest(req) { try { const alac = await activecampaign.listAllContacts({ search: 'null', segmentid: 'null', status: '-1', 'filters[created_after]': '2025-05-01', 'orders[id]': 'ASC', 'orders[email]': 'ASC' }); } catch(e) { return "Caught Error: " + e.toString(); } return alac; } async function makeHTML(req) { // Your function

Hi everyone, I’m currently experiencing a critical issue with all campaigns that include RSS feeds. Emails sent today are not displaying the RSS content at all — the feed blocks are displaying just the RSS code in the final email. However the browser version seems to work. The feed source itself is working fine and has no errors, so the issue seems to be on the ActiveCampaign side. We’ve tested multiple campaigns, and the problem is consistent across all of them. We’ve already contacted support, but the issue is ongoing, and it’s preventing us from sending out our RSS-based campaigns entirely. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue with RSS feeds in their campaigns today (May 9, 2025)? Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, Does anyone know how to automate adding a task at the contact level? Our sales cycle is quite long, and we focus more on the contact level than the deal level until our leads are qualified. I need a way to automate contact tasks to alert the sales team as soon as leads come in. Is there a trick to this, or is it not possible yet? Hopefully, it’s something on the roadmap! Thanks

I’ve had a few people tell me that they’ve unsubscribed from my list, but they keep getting my automation emails. What could be the problem here? How can I fix this? Thanks!

We’ve built some complicated automations using what is now considered the “classic” editor. Apparently, there is no automated migration solution for using the newer email designer with the existing emails. As far as I can tell, I have to manually reproduce each email, possibly even in a new automation. (Why bother? Because the newer designer will make it easier to modify and customize my emails.) Can anyone suggest the safest way to reproduce a multi-step automation in which every email is recreated using the newer email designer?

Why does my HTML email signature lose its icons and logos when I paste it into ActiveCampaign, showing only plain text instead? How can I ensure that the images are properly included?

about campaigns performance,Hello, I have been using activeccampaign for some time. I would like to inquire whether a new field can be added in the export data board (the execution status of all activities) section to indicate the number of conversions for each email. In this way, we can better calculate the funnel of each email from the open rate, click-through rate to the conversion rate, and better evaluate the quality of the email and its impact on the conversion rate. We are looking forward to your reply. Thank you!

I am trying to add a recently recorded youtube live link to an email but it keeps saying the link is invalid. What the workaround for this?
