ActiveCampaign with Nexra

Connected, approved, proven.

The things teams do most with ActiveCampaign, an example flow with a person in the loop, and what Nexra keeps as proof.

Access and limits

Authentication: API key
Plans and access: All ActiveCampaign plans include the API; deals and accounts need a plan with the CRM features. The API key carries the permissions of the user it belongs to. Each user has their own key.
Test environment: ActiveCampaign offers a free trial and developer accounts on request.
Rate limits: 5 requests per second per account; HTTP 429 with Retry-After.
Pagination: limit/offset (limit up to 100) with meta.total.
Provider events: Account webhooks for subscribe, unsubscribe, contact update, deal and campaign events. Flows run on demand, on a schedule, or when a scheduled check finds new or changed records.

Before you build a flow

List subscription status changes only through contact_lists.upsert, which requires an explicit status. Contact create, update and sync never change list subscriptions or tags.
Re-subscribing a contact who unsubscribed themselves (status 2 → 1) should only be done with their renewed consent.
Campaign create, edit, schedule, send, test-send, pause and stop, template and message writes, SMS and WhatsApp broadcasts, automation enrolment changes, bulk contact imports and syncs, contact merges and all deletes are intentionally not implemented. Campaigns, messages and templates are read-only.
E-commerce orders are records of purchases made elsewhere; nothing here charges, refunds or captures. Real-time orders (source 1) can start purchase and abandoned-cart automations, so backfills should use source 0.
E-commerce customer and order lists are filtered by IDs, never by email, so email addresses do not appear in request URLs.
ActiveCampaign does not document an updated-since filter for e-commerce orders, tasks, users or segments, so those reads are full lists.
List updates never set carbon-copy or subscription notification recipients.
ActiveCampaign documents no idempotency key; contact, deal, task, list, pipeline, stage, note and e-commerce creates are not repeated automatically when uncertain.
Contact custom field values are written by field ID; read definitions with fields.list, deal_fields.list and account_fields.list.
The per-contact automations read (contacts/{id}/contactAutomations) is documented only through the reference index and link relations; it was not checked against a sandbox.
