ActiveCampaign

Prerequisites​

Before creating an ActiveCampaign credential in Nexla, you need to obtain your API URL and API key from your ActiveCampaign account. These credentials authenticate Nexla with the ActiveCampaign API and should be kept secure.

Obtain ActiveCampaign API Credentials​

  1. Sign in to your ActiveCampaign account.

  2. Navigate to My Settings by clicking your account icon in the upper right corner and selecting Settings from the dropdown menu.

  3. Click on the Developer tab to access the developer settings page.

  4. On the Developer page, locate the API Access section. This section displays your API credentials.

  5. Copy your API URL. This is a unique URL specific to your ActiveCampaign account that serves as the base URL for all API requests. The API URL typically follows the format https://[your-account].api-us1.com or similar, depending on your account's data center.

  6. Copy your API Key. This key authenticates API requests and provides access to your ActiveCampaign account data. The API key is a long alphanumeric string.

    Your API URL and API Key are unique to your ActiveCampaign account and should be kept secure. Do not share these credentials publicly or commit them to version control systems. If you suspect your API key has been compromised, regenerate it immediately in your ActiveCampaign account settings.

For additional information about ActiveCampaign API authentication and credential management, see the ActiveCampaign API documentation.

Credential Name & Description​

  1. Enter a name for the credential in the Credential Name field and a short, meaningful description in the Credential Description field.

    Resource descriptions are recommended but are not required. They should be used provide information about the resource purpose, data freshness, etc. that can help the owner and other users efficiently understand and utilize the resource.

API Credentials Configuration​

  1. Enter your ActiveCampaign API URL in the API URL field. This should be the complete base URL for your ActiveCampaign account's API, typically in the format https://[your-account].api-us1.com or similar. You can find this URL in your ActiveCampaign account under My Settings → Developer → API Access.

  2. Enter your ActiveCampaign API key in the API Key field. This key authenticates Nexla with the ActiveCampaign API and should match the API key obtained from your ActiveCampaign account settings. The API key is sent in the Api-Token header for all API requests.

    The API key provides full access to your ActiveCampaign account data through the API. Keep your API key secure and do not share it publicly or commit it to version control systems. ActiveCampaign uses the API key in the Api-Token header for authentication, which allows Nexla to make authenticated requests to your account.

Save the Credential​

  1. Once all of the relevant steps in the above sections have been completed, click the Save button at the bottom of the overlay to save the configured credential.

  2. The newly added credential will now appear in a tile on the Authenticate screen during data source/destination creation and can be selected for use with a new data source or destination.
