# Connect ActiveCampaign to Rig

Sync your ActiveCampaign contacts, accounts, deals, lists, campaigns and automations into Rig, so marketing and pipeline data sit with the rest of your business. ActiveCampaign connects with your account's API URL and API key.

## Before you start

- You need a user who can open the **Developer** settings in ActiveCampaign.
- The API URL is specific to your account, so copy it from your own settings rather than guessing it.

## Step 1: Find your ActiveCampaign API URL and key

1. Sign in to ActiveCampaign and click the **Settings** gear icon.
2. In the Account Settings menu, click **Developer**.
3. In the **API Access** section, copy the **URL** value. It looks like `https://youraccount.api-us1.com`.
4. Copy the **Key** value next to it.

## Step 2: Connect it in Rig

New to Rig? Watch how to find Connections

Adding a source needs a workspace owner, or a role with the Manage connections permission, on a workspace where you manage your own connections. If the Connectors tab says “Data ingestion for this workspace is managed by Rig”, ask an owner or Rig support to add the source.

1. In Rig, open `Connections`, choose the `Connectors` tab and go to `Sources & actions`.
2. Search for **ActiveCampaign**, open the card and click `Connect`.
3. **Account API URL**: paste the **URL** value, with no path added.
4. **API key**: paste the **Key** value.
5. Click `Continue`. Rig checks the credentials and lists the streams it can reach, so choose the ones you want and click `Connect`.
6. The source then syncs on its schedule, which is nightly unless you change it. To load data straight away, click `Sync` on its row; `Test` pulls a small sample first if you want to check the connection.

## What Rig pulls in

ActiveCampaign lands in its own `activecampaign` schema in your warehouse:

- **Contacts and accounts**: your people and the companies they belong to.
- **Deals**: deals, with their stages and groups (pipelines).
- **Campaigns and automations**: your email campaigns and automations.
- **Lists and tags**: how contacts are segmented.
- **Users and fields**: your ActiveCampaign users and the custom field definitions.

## Good to know

- ActiveCampaign allows 5 API requests per second per account. Rig stays inside that, so a large contact base takes time on the first sync.
- The API key acts as the account's user that owns it. Changing or regenerating the key in ActiveCampaign stops the sync until you update it in Rig.
- Custom field definitions come through as the Fields table, which you need to label custom field values on contacts and deals.
- To disconnect ActiveCampaign, click the bin icon on the source's row under `Sources & actions`. Only whoever connected the source or a workspace owner can do this, and data already synced stays in the warehouse.

## What people use this for

- Follow a contact from campaign to closed deal
- See what automations actually achieve
- Segment on behaviour, not just tags
