ActiveCampaign integration
Connecting PowerfulForm to ActiveCampaign lets you automatically add new contacts to an ActiveCampaign list every time someone submits your form.
Please note that the ActiveCampaign integration is only available on the paid plans of the Form Builder app.
In ActiveCampaign 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
Log in to your ActiveCampaign account
Navigate to Settings > Developer
Copy your API URL and API Key
For detailed instructions, refer to ActiveCampaign's official guide: Find Your API Key

🔌 Step 2: Add ActiveCampaign API Key to the app settings (in PowerfulForm)
1. Open the app > Settings > Third party integration > hover ActiveCampaign > click Config

2. In the ActiveCampaign > ActiveCampaign API key and Api Url field, enter API key created in Steps 1 above

3. Click Save to update changes
Once saved, your ActiveCampaign account is connected.
🧩 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.

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

ActiveCampaign Last name → Form Last name
Click Save to finish

⭐ Required field
📧 Email is compulsory (required) to create a new contact profile in ActiveCampaign.
✅ Check your results in ActiveCampaign
After a customer submits the form:
Open ActiveCampaign
Go to Contacts
