About ActiveCampaign
ActiveCampaign defines the Customer Experience Automation (CXA) category, blending email marketing with CRM. To truly automate the experience, it needs data. Integrating ActiveCampaign ensures that actions taken anywhere in your stack—a purchase, a support ticket, a meeting—instantly adapt the marketing journey for that individual customer.
Integration Capabilities
ActiveCampaign has 8 native integrations in its API directory. This page focuses only on guides we publish and maintain.

ActiveCampaign — Common Questions
What does ActiveCampaign integrate with natively? ▼
ActiveCampaign's marketplace has 900+ integrations. The deepest cover Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Stripe, Calendly, Typeform, Unbounce, and most major form/landing page builders. The Deals CRM module (free with all plans) reduces the need for a separate CRM for SMB users.
Does ActiveCampaign have an API for custom integrations? ▼
Yes. ActiveCampaign's REST API v3 covers contacts, deals, accounts, tags, lists, and automations. Webhooks fire on contact events (created, updated, tagged, list-subscribed). For low-code use Make or n8n — both have full ActiveCampaign modules. Rate limit is 5 requests per second per account.
How does ActiveCampaign compare to HubSpot for marketing automation? ▼
ActiveCampaign wins on price-per-feature for marketing automation and email — sequence builders are more flexible at lower pricing tiers. HubSpot wins on CRM depth, sales pipeline management, and the all-in-one suite (marketing + sales + service). For pure email automation, ActiveCampaign is more powerful per dollar; for unified marketing + sales + service operations, HubSpot's ecosystem advantage usually justifies the higher cost.
How do I trigger ActiveCampaign automations from external events? ▼
Two ways: (1) Use ActiveCampaign's incoming webhooks — paste a URL into your source tool, send a POST with the contact email plus event data. (2) Use the Events API to push named events ($form_submitted, $purchase_made) with metadata — these are first-class triggers inside automation builders. Make can broker either approach when the source tool doesn't speak ActiveCampaign's format directly.
