Overview

This node interacts with the ActiveCampaign (Legacy) API to perform operations on contacts. Specifically, the 'Get' operation retrieves detailed information about a contact using its unique Contact ID. This is useful for scenarios where you need to fetch and use contact data within an automation workflow, such as verifying contact details or integrating contact information into other systems.

Use Case Examples

  1. Retrieve a contact's details by providing their Contact ID to use in a follow-up email campaign.
  2. Fetch contact information to update a CRM or database with the latest data from ActiveCampaign.

Properties

  • id - The unique identifier of the contact.
  • email - The email address of the contact.

  • last_name - The last name of the contact.
  • phone - The phone number of the contact.

Dependencies

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the provided Contact ID exists in ActiveCampaign; otherwise, the API will return an error or empty response.
  • Verify that the ActiveCampaign API credentials are correctly configured and valid to avoid authentication errors.
  • If the node throws an error indicating 'No credentials got returned!', check that the API key credential is properly set up in n8n.
  • Errors with status code 403 indicate invalid credentials; recheck the API key and permissions.
