ActiveCampaign
ActiveCampaign is a cloud software platform that integrates email marketing, automation and customer relationship management to enable you to create a rich and personalized experience for your customers. It provides access to a variety of prebuilt automations, and integrations such as Shopify and Salesforce, and the creation of customized campaigns to suit customer behaviours.
Hevo uses the ActiveCampaign RESTful version 3 API to ingest data from your ActiveCampaign account and load it to the desired Destination for scalable analysis.
Prerequisites
-
An active ActiveCampaign account from which data is to be ingested
-
You are assigned the Team Administrator, Team Collaborator, or Pipeline Administrator role in Hevo to create the Pipeline.
-
An API key and Account Name are available to authenticate Hevo on your ActiveCampaign account.
-
You must be logged in as an Admin user to access all the data in your account.
Obtaining the Account Name and API Key
ActiveCampaign automatically provides you with the API credentials; account name and API key, for authenticating Hevo on your ActiveCampaign account. The API key does not expire and can be reused for all your Pipelines.
Perform the following steps to obtain your account name and API key:
-
Log in to your ActiveCampaign account.
-
In the left navigation panel, click Settings.
-
In the Settings navigation panel, click Developer.
-
In the Developer page, in the API Access section:
-
Copy the API URL and save it in a secure location like any other password. The API URL contains the account name. For example, if the API URL is https://hevodata123456.api-us1.com, account name is hevodata123456.
-
Copy the API key by clicking Copy API Key, and save it in a secure location like any other password.
-
Use the account name and API key to configure ActiveCampaign as a Source in Hevo.
Configuring ActiveCampaign as a Source
Perform the following steps to configure ActiveCampaign as the Source in your Pipeline:
-
Click PIPELINES in the Navigation Bar.
-
Click + CREATE in the Pipelines List View.
-
In the Select Source Type page, select ActiveCampaign.
-
In the Configure your ActiveCampaign Source page, specify the following:
-
Pipeline Name: A unique name for the Pipeline, not exceeding 255 characters.
-
API Key: The private key in your ActiveCampaign account, to enable Hevo to read data.
-
Account Name: The unique identifier of your ActiveCampaign account, to enable Hevo to access the data.
-
-
Click TEST & CONTINUE.
-
Proceed to configuring the data ingestion and setting up the Destination.
Data Replication
Default Pipeline Frequency | Minimum Pipeline Frequency | Maximum Pipeline Frequency | Custom Frequency Range (Hrs) |
---|---|---|---|
1 hr | 1 hr | 24 hrs | 1-24 |
Note: You must set the custom frequency in hours as an integer value. For example, 1, 2, 3 but not 1.5 or 1.75.
-
Historical Data: In the first run of the Pipeline, Hevo ingests all historical data for all the objects and loads it to the Destination.
-
Incremental Data: Once the historical load is complete, all new and updated records for the Contacts and Deals objects are synchronized with your Destination according to the ingestion frequency.
Schema and Primary Keys
Hevo uses the following schema to upload the records in the Destination database:
Data Model
The following is the list of tables (objects) that are created at the Destination when you run the Pipeline:
Note: You need to be an Admin in ActiveCampaign in order to ingest data from the objects Tasks, Calendars, Stages and Pipelines. Additionally, you need permissions from an Admin in order to ingest data from the Automation, Deals, Forms, and Secondary Contacts objects.

Additional Information
Read the detailed Hevo documentation for the following related topics:
Source Considerations
-
Pagination: Each API response for each ActiveCampaign object fetches one page with up to 100 records per page.
-
Rate limit: ActiveCampaign imposes a limit of a maximum of 5 API calls per second per account to optimize performance.
Limitations
- Hevo currently does not support deletes. Therefore, any data deleted in the Source may continue to exist in the Destination.
