ActiveCampaign CRM

ActiveCampaign CRM integration for lead management, deal tracking, and email automation. Use for syncing demo leads, managing clinic sales pipeline, and triggering follow-up sequences.

Security Scan

The skill's stated purpose (ActiveCampaign CRM integration) matches its requirements and instructions: it expects an ActiveCampaign CLI binary and API credentials and contains no unrelated or suspicious behavior.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description ask for CRM integration and the skill requires an 'activecampaign' CLI plus ACTIVECAMPAIGN_URL and ACTIVECAMPAIGN_API_KEY — these are proportional and expected for an ActiveCampaign wrapper.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md instructs the agent to use the activecampaign CLI and to store credentials/config under ~/.config/activecampaign or via environment variables; listed CLI commands (contacts, deals, tags, automations, fields) are consistent with the stated CRM tasks. There are no instructions to read unrelated system paths or to send data to non-ActiveCampaign endpoints.

Install Mechanism

This is an instruction-only skill (no install spec or code). That limits on-disk changes from the skill itself, but the skill requires a local 'activecampaign' binary — you should verify the origin and integrity of that CLI before installing/using it, since the skill assumes it exists and will invoke it.

Credentials

Only ACTIVECAMPAIGN_URL and ACTIVECAMPAIGN_API_KEY are required (and are declared as primary credentials). This matches the service's needs. Note: the fields mapping includes PII/financial fields (billing, payment_last4, etc.), so protect API credentials and configuration files to avoid exposing sensitive contact/payment data.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill is user-invocable; it does not request persistent elevated privileges or modify other skills. Autonomous invocation is permitted (platform default) but not combined with other red flags here.

Assessment

This skill appears to do what it says: it calls a local 'activecampaign' CLI and needs your ActiveCampaign URL and API key. Before installing/using: (1) verify and obtain the 'activecampaign' CLI from a trusted source (check project homepage or repository; the skill bundle has no code), (2) create an API key with minimal necessary scopes in ActiveCampaign and rotate it if possible, (3) avoid committing credentials or ~/.config/activecampaign/fields.json into source control (the README already recommends gitignore), (4) be aware the integration can read/write contacts and custom fields (may include PII and payment-related metadata), so restrict access and monitor API usage. If you want higher assurance, run the CLI in a sandboxed environment first and confirm the CLI's network calls only target your ActiveCampaign account endpoints.

ActiveCampaign Skill 📧

ActiveCampaign integration for CRM automation and sales pipeline management.

Purpose

Manage leads, deals, and email automations for sales:

• Contacts: Sync demo attendees, leads, and prospects
• Deals: Track sales pipeline stages
• Tags: Segment leads (demo-requested, nurture, close-ready)
• Automations: Trigger email sequences based on actions
• Custom Fields: Map order, shipping, billing, and subscription data

Setup

1. Credentials

# Create config directory
mkdir -p ~/.config/activecampaign

# Add credentials
echo "https://youraccount.api-us1.com" > ~/.config/activecampaign/url
echo "your-api-key" > ~/.config/activecampaign/api_key

# Or use environment variables
export ACTIVECAMPAIGN_URL="https://youraccount.api-us1.com"
export ACTIVECAMPAIGN_API_KEY="your-api-key"

Get API credentials from ActiveCampaign:

• URL: Settings → Developer → API Access
• API Key: Settings → Developer → API Access

2. Custom Fields Configuration (Optional)

The skill supports custom field mappings for order, shipping, billing, and subscription data.

# Initialize config from sample
activecampaign config init

# Edit with your field IDs
nano ~/.config/activecampaign/fields.json

The config file is gitignored and should not be committed.

Usage

# Contacts
activecampaign contacts list                    # List all contacts
activecampaign contacts create "[e-mail]" "First" "Last"
activecampaign contacts sync "[e-mail]" "First" "Last"
activecampaign contacts get <id>
activecampaign contacts search "clinic"
activecampaign contacts add-tag <id> <tag_id>
activecampaign contacts remove-tag <id> <tag_id>

# Deals
activecampaign deals list
activecampaign deals create "Clinic Name" <stage_id> <value>
activecampaign deals update <id> stage=<stage_id> value=<value>
activecampaign deals get <id>

# Tags
activecampaign tags list
activecampaign tags create "Demo Requested"

# Automations
activecampaign automations list
activecampaign automations add-contact <contact_id> <automation_id>

# Custom Fields
activecampaign fields list                    # List configured fields
activecampaign fields get order_fields.order_id
activecampaign fields set-field <contact_id> <field_id> <value>

# Lists
activecampaign lists list
activecampaign lists add-contact <list_id> <contact_id>

# Configuration
activecampaign config init                    # Create fields.json from sample
activecampaign config path                    # Show config file path
