ActiveCampaign API integration with managed OAuth. Marketing automation, CRM, contacts, deals, and email campaigns.

Use this skill when users want to manage contacts, deals, tags, lists, automations, or campaigns in ActiveCampaign.

For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway).

Requires network access and valid Maton API key.

# ActiveCampaign

Access the ActiveCampaign API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage contacts, deals, tags, lists, automations, and email campaigns.

Quick Start

# List all contacts
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/active-campaign/api/3/contacts')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Base URL

https://gateway.maton.ai/active-campaign/{native-api-path}

Replace `{native-api-path}` with the actual ActiveCampaign API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to `{account}.api-us1.com` and automatically injects your OAuth token.

Authentication

All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY

**Environment Variable:** Set your API key as `MATON_API_KEY`:

export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

Getting Your API Key

1. Sign in or create an account at [maton.ai](https://maton.ai)

2. Go to [maton.ai/settings](https://maton.ai/settings)

3. Copy your API key

Connection Management

Manage your ActiveCampaign OAuth connections at `https://ctrl.maton.ai`.

List Connections

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=active-campaign&status=ACTIVE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Create Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'active-campaign'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Get Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

**Response:**

{
  "connection": {
    "connection_id": "9e8ba2aa-25ec-4ba0-8815-3068be304dca",
    "status": "ACTIVE",
    "creation_time": "2026-02-09T20:03:16.595823Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-02-09T20:04:09.550767Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "active-campaign",
    "metadata": {}
  }
}

Open the returned `url` in a browser to complete OAuth authorization.

Delete Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Specifying Connection

If you have multiple ActiveCampaign connections, specify which one to use with the `Maton-Connection` header:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/active-campaign/api/3/contacts')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '9e8ba2aa-25ec-4ba0-8815-3068be304dca')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection.

Pagination

ActiveCampaign uses offset-based pagination:

GET /active-campaign/api/3/contacts?limit=20&offset=0

**Parameters:**

`limit` - Results per page (default: 20)

`offset` - Starting index

**Response includes meta:**

{
  "contacts": [...],
  "meta": {
    "total": "150"
  }
}

For large datasets, use `orders[id]=ASC` and `id_greater` parameter for better performance:

GET /active-campaign/api/3/contacts?orders[id]=ASC&id_greater=100

Code Examples

JavaScript

const response = await fetch(
  'https://gateway.maton.ai/active-campaign/api/3/contacts',
  {
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
    }
  }
);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data.contacts);

Python

import os
import requests

response = requests.get(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/active-campaign/api/3/contacts',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'}
)
data = response.json()
print(data['contacts'])

Python (Create Contact with Tag)

import os
import requests

headers = {
    'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}

# Create contact
contact_response = requests.post(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/active-campaign/api/3/contacts',
    headers=headers,
    json={
        'contact': {
            'email': 'newuser@example.com',
            'firstName': 'New',
            'lastName': 'User'
        }
    }
)
contact = contact_response.json()['contact']
print(f"Created contact ID: {contact['id']}")

# Add tag to contact
tag_response = requests.post(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/active-campaign/api/3/contactTags',
    headers=headers,
    json={
        'contactTag': {
            'contact': contact['id'],
            'tag': '1'
        }
    }
)
print("Tag added to contact")

Notes

All endpoints require the `/api/3/` prefix

Request bodies use singular resource names wrapped in an object (e.g., `{"contact": {...}}`)

IDs are returned as strings

Timestamps are in ISO 8601 format with timezone

Rate limit: 5 requests per second per account

DELETE operations return 200 OK (not 204)

IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to `jq` or other commands, environment variables like `$MATON_API_KEY` may not expand correctly in some shell environments

Error Handling

| Status | Meaning |

|--------|---------|

| 400 | Missing ActiveCampaign connection or bad request |

| 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key |

| 404 | Resource not found |

| 422 | Validation error |

| 429 | Rate limited (5 req/sec) |

| 4xx/5xx | Passthrough error from ActiveCampaign API |

Error responses include details:

{
  "errors": [
    {
      "title": "The contact email is required",
      "source": {
        "pointer": "/data/attributes/email"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Troubleshooting: Invalid API Key

**When you receive an "Invalid API key" error, ALWAYS follow these steps before concluding there is an issue:**

1. Check that the `MATON_API_KEY` environment variable is set:

echo $MATON_API_KEY

2. Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
