# ActiveCampaign integration

Please note that the ActiveCampaign integration is only available on the **paid plans** of the  Form Builder app.

### 📝 Step 1: Find or Generate ActiveCampaign API Key and API URL (in ActiveCampaign)

To connect ActiveCampaign, you need 2 pieces of information:

* 🔗 **API URL**
* 🗝️ **API Key**

1. Log in to your **ActiveCampaign** account
2. Navigate to **Settings** > **Developer**
3. Copy your **API URL** and **API Key**

For detailed instructions, refer to ActiveCampaign's official guide: [Find Your API Key](https://help.activecampaign.com/hc/en-us/articles/207317590-Getting-Started-Guide-API-Access)

### 📝 Steps 3: Map the form data to ActiveCampaign (in Form Builder)

This part controls **where** form submissions go in ActiveCampaign and **which form fields** fill which contact fields.

#### **Before you start (important)**

You must create a **contact list** in ActiveCampaign first—because PowerfulForm needs a list to send contacts to.

Follow this [link](https://help.activecampaign.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000030559-How-to-create-a-list-in-ActiveCampaign#how-to-create-a-list-in-activecampaign-0-0) to know more.

#### **Mapping steps**

1\. Open the app > click **Forms** > open the form you want to deal with

2\. Click **Integration** icon on the left side > turn on **ActiveCampaign** > click on **ActiveCampaign**

3. In **List** dropdown, select the ActiveCampaign **list** that should receive contacts

4. Map fields

* Left side = **ActiveCampaign fields**
* Right side = **Your form fields**

Example:

* ActiveCampaign **First name** → Form **First name**
* ActiveCampaign **Last name** → Form **Last name**

5. Click **Save** to finish

> #### ⭐ Required field
>
> &#x20;**Email is compulsory** (required) to create a new contact profile in ActiveCampaign.

***

### ✅ Check the results in ActiveCampaign

After a customer submits the form:

1. Open ActiveCampaign
2. Go to **Contacts**
3. Open the list you selected

You should see the new contact added there.

### 🔧 Troubleshooting&#x20;

#### Data Not Appearing

* Confirm **Email field is mapped**
* Confirm the submission includes a **valid email**

#### Incorrect Field Mapping

* Re-check each mapping to ensure form fields match the correct ActiveCampaign fields&#x20;

#### API Connection Issues

* Verify the **API URL** and **API Key** are correct
* Ensure your ActiveCampaign account has permission to use the API
