Migrate your ActiveCampaign contacts and emails into Constant Contact

ActiveCampaign is an email marketing and automation platform that sends behavior-triggered, personalized email campaigns. Import contacts and emails from your ActiveCampaign account into Constant Contact with our integration. 

Emails imported from ActiveCampaign can be modified within the Constant Contact email editor, just like any other Constant Contact email. 

The ActiveCampaign integration is a one-way sync: Only subscribed contacts from ActiveCampaign will be brought over to Constant Contact. Data will not be sent back from Constant Contact to Active Campaign.

Boost your marketing with the ActiveCampaign integration

Once you've set up your imports and your ActiveCampaign contacts are successfully syncing into Constant Contact, there are a variety of ways to target those contacts with customized messaging.

Create a customized contact segment

When importing from ActiveCampaign, contacts will be imported into an "ActiveCampaign" titled list. But maybe you want to segment these contacts even further, to send specific, targeted messaging. You can do so by creating a custom segment of contacts.

Send automated communications

Create personalized automated communications via email and SMS for your customers based on their actions, including welcome emails, thank you series, requests for review, and more.

Disconnect ActiveCampaign from your Constant Contact account

If you disconnect the ActiveCampaign integration, your imported contacts and emails will remain in your Constant Contact account. New ActiveCampaign data will no longer be imported into Constant Contact. 

1. Click Integrations.

2. Search for the ActiveCampaign integration and then click the three dots on the ActiveCampaign block to open the connected Settings menu. 
3. Select Disconnect.
   
    
4. In the confirmation pop-up, click Disconnect to confirm.
