Overview

This node interacts with the ActiveCampaign (Legacy) API to manage contacts. Specifically, the 'Create' operation allows users to add a new contact by providing an email and optional additional details such as first name, last name, phone number, and custom properties. It supports an option to update the contact if it already exists, preventing errors from duplicate entries. This node is useful for automating contact management workflows, such as adding new leads or updating existing customer information in ActiveCampaign.

Use Case Examples

1. Automatically add new newsletter subscribers to ActiveCampaign with their email and name.
2. Update existing contact details if the contact already exists, avoiding duplicate entries.
3. Add custom properties to contacts for tailored marketing campaigns.

Properties

Output

JSON

• subscriber_id - The unique identifier of the created or updated contact.
• email - The email address of the contact.
• first_name - The first name of the contact, if provided.
• last_name - The last name of the contact, if provided.
• phone - The phone number of the contact, if provided.

Dependencies

• ActiveCampaign API key credential

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the ActiveCampaign API credentials are correctly configured; invalid credentials will cause authentication errors.
• If 'Update if exists' is false and the contact email already exists, the node will throw an error to prevent duplicates.
• Check that the email field is provided and correctly formatted, as it is required for creating a contact.
• Custom properties must have both a name and value; missing these may cause unexpected behavior.
