Connect your app to ActiveCampaign
Connect your ActiveCampaign account to Lovable using an API key and URL. This lets your app manage contacts, mailing lists, email campaigns, and audience segments.
Anyone who already uses ActiveCampaign for email marketing and wants their app to manage subscribers, lists, or campaigns.
Do this, in order
- 1
Sign in to ActiveCampaign, go to Settings, and select Developer to copy your API URL and API key.
These credentials give Lovable permission to interact with your specific ActiveCampaign account.
- 2
Go to Connectors in your Lovable dashboard, select ActiveCampaign, and click Connect.
This opens the setup form where you register the connection for your workspace.
- 3
Paste your API URL and API key into the connection configuration fields.
Lovable needs these exact details to verify access with ActiveCampaign.
- 4
Set your sharing preferences and click Connect at the bottom of the form.
Lovable tests your credentials immediately and saves the connection if verified.
- 5
Open your Lovable project chat and ask Lovable to link to ActiveCampaign and build your email feature.
Once linked, your app can directly create contacts, manage list subscriptions, or schedule campaigns.
Paste this into your project
Use ActiveCampaign and build a newsletter signup form that creates new contacts and subscribes them to our mailing list once they agree to receive marketing emails.
Words decoded
- API URL
- The specific web address Lovable calls to talk to your ActiveCampaign account.
- API key
- A secret security code that acts like a password to authorize Lovable's access.
- Audience segment
- A subset of your contacts filtered by specific rules or tags.
Where people get stuck
- Never paste your ActiveCampaign API key into the Lovable project chat; enter it only inside the Connectors setup form.
- Creating a contact does not automatically subscribe them to a list; your app must explicitly add them to a mailing list after they consent.
- Do not use ActiveCampaign for password resets or transaction receipts; use built-in Lovable Emails for those instead.
- Connections only support ActiveCampaign API URLs on api-us1.com.
