ActiveCampaign
The Autohive ActiveCampaign integration connects your ActiveCampaign account with Autohive’s automation platform, enabling:
- Campaign performance tracking - Pull email campaigns with derived open rate, click rate, and bounce rate
- Link-level analysis - Drill into individual campaigns to see which tracked links were clicked and how often
- Contact management - List and search contacts with filters for list membership, status, and creation date
- Engagement history - Retrieve a contact’s activity history, including opens, clicks, and other events
- List and segment discovery - Enumerate all contact lists and audience segments in your account

Key features
Derived performance metrics
List Campaigns and Get Campaign calculate performance rates directly from raw campaign data, so you don’t need to compute them yourself:
| Metric | Formula |
|---|---|
| Open rate | unique_opens / sends × 100 |
| Click rate | unique_link_clicks / sends × 100 |
| Bounce rate | (hard_bounces + soft_bounces) / sends × 100 |
Contact-level engagement
- Filter contacts by status to identify unsubscribed or bounced audiences
- Retrieve full activity histories to understand individual engagement patterns
- Cross-reference contacts against specific lists to analyse segment-level response
Common use cases
Track overall EDM performance
Use List Campaigns to pull campaigns and compare open rate, click rate, and bounce rate across sends over time.
Drill into a specific campaign
Use Get Campaign for full metrics on a send, then Get Campaign Links to see which URLs were clicked and how many times.
Identify disengaged contacts
Use List Contacts filtered by unsubscribed or bounced status to understand list churn, then List Contact Activities on specific contacts to review their engagement history.
Segment-level analysis
Use List Lists to enumerate all audience segments, then List Contacts filtered by list to understand how different audiences respond to different sends.
Disconnect the integration
- Navigate to Your user profile → Connections or Your workspace → Manage workspace
- Find the ActiveCampaign Integration
- Click Disconnect and confirm
Data Impact: Existing data in your ActiveCampaign account remains completely unchanged. Disconnecting only removes Autohive’s API access.
Notes
- ActiveCampaign does not publicly document rate limits. If requests start failing with
429 Too Many Requests, back off and retry. - Only the API key owner’s account permissions apply — the integration cannot access data the underlying API key doesn’t have permission for.
