No coding required. **WordPress** **ActiveCampaign** ## Does WordPress integrate with ActiveCampaign? Plandalf has no native ActiveCampaign step, so the link is a webhook. WordPress hosts the page with a Plandalf button, and a Plandalf sequence calls ActiveCampaign's contact sync API with Send Webhook or Zapier to create and tag the buyer. ActiveCampaign's own WordPress plugin is separate and covers forms and site tracking. ## What moves between WordPress and ActiveCampaign Event From and to Through What happens Checkout opened from a WordPress page WordPressPlandalf Checkout embed A Custom HTML block or a template carries the SDK and a button with `data-plandalf-present`. Money goes to your Stripe or PayPal account. Checkout completed Plandalf (paid via Stripe)ActiveCampaign Webhook Send Webhook POSTs to the contact sync endpoint with an `Api-Token` header. ActiveCampaign's reference says it finds the contact by email, returning 200 when it updates one and 201 when it creates one. Invoice paid Plandalf (paid via Stripe)ActiveCampaign Webhook Because Invoice Paid also fires on renewals, a second sequence can sync custom field values such as plan name each time a subscription pays. Cart recovery PlandalfActiveCampaign Webhook A failed payment includes a `retry_url`. Sync it into a contact field so an ActiveCampaign automation can email the link. Form submitted ActiveCampaignPlandalf Webhook Plandalf's ActiveCampaign page describes an automation Webhook action that posts to a Plandalf catch URL, so a sequence can enrol a person who filled in a form on the WordPress page. ## Create and tag an ActiveCampaign contact from a WordPress sale You need a WordPress login that can insert JavaScript, a published Plandalf offer and your ActiveCampaign API key and account URL. 1. ### Add the SDK and the button Edit the page, add a Custom HTML block, and paste the Plandalf script with a button carrying `data-plandalf-present`. If many pages sell, load the script from the theme instead. 2. ### Look at what the page runs already ActiveCampaign's WordPress plugin can embed its forms and install site tracking code. Both scripts run beside Plandalf's, so open the published page and confirm the button still works with them present. 3. ### Find the API URL and key ActiveCampaign's reference shows the contact sync call as a POST to your account's host at `/api/3/contact/sync` with the key in an `Api-Token` header. Copy both from your ActiveCampaign account. 4. ### Create the sequence Open Automation, then My Sequences, and make a sequence on Plandalf, Checkout Completed and your offer. Pick a recent checkout on the Test tab. 5. ### Add the Send Webhook step Choose Plandalf, Send Webhook, set POST and your sync URL, and add the Api-Token header. The payload holds a contact object with `email` as `{{trigger.customer_email}}`, `firstName` as `{{trigger.customer_first_name}}` and the tags you want. 6. ### Hand over to an automation In ActiveCampaign create an automation that starts when the tag is added and put your onboarding emails in it. Switch on Run on test purchases, buy with your own email, check the response in the Events view, and switch the setting off. ## What sellers do with WordPress and ActiveCampaign ### Lead magnet turned into a paid audit A consultant gathers leads with an ActiveCampaign form in the WordPress sidebar and sells a paid audit through Plandalf on the same site. Paid buyers are tagged Audit Client, so the sales automation stops chasing them. ### Webinar replay purchase A WordPress page shows a webinar summary with a button to buy the replay. The buyer is synced into ActiveCampaign with a Replay tag and receives the access email from an automation. ## Limits and gotchas - Plandalf has no ActiveCampaign steps. The sync call is a Send Webhook that Plandalf does not sign, and the API key sits in its headers. - ActiveCampaign's reference says creating needs the add-contacts permission and updating needs the edit-contacts permission. A key without them is refused. - ActiveCampaign's page lists its WordPress plugin as available on its Starter, Professional, Plus and Enterprise plans, and form types differ in what they support. Check your plan before choosing a form type. - Plandalf's WordPress guide warns that caching and optimisation plugins can move or delay scripts, so test the published page. - Plandalf's MemberPress plugin is an early-access source release. Do not treat it as a working connection between WordPress memberships and Plandalf. ## WordPress and ActiveCampaign: common questions Does WordPress integrate with ActiveCampaign? Yes, ActiveCampaign offers a WordPress plugin that embeds its forms and supports site tracking. Plandalf is separate and links to ActiveCampaign by webhook, not by the plugin. How do I connect ActiveCampaign to a Plandalf checkout on WordPress? Put the Plandalf button on the page and build a sequence on Checkout Completed with a Send Webhook step to ActiveCampaign's contact sync endpoint. The recipe above lists each setting. ActiveCampaign WordPress integration: do I need the plugin for Plandalf to work? No. The Plandalf button works from a Custom HTML block without the ActiveCampaign plugin. The plugin matters only if you want ActiveCampaign forms or tracking on the same site. Can Zapier connect Plandalf and ActiveCampaign? It can sit in the middle. Send Webhook posts to a Zapier webhook and you build the ActiveCampaign side in the Zap, after checking which actions Zapier offers. ## Guides for this pair - [Plandalf with WordPress](https://plandalf.com/platforms/wordpress) - [Plandalf with ActiveCampaign](https://plandalf.com/platforms/activecampaign) - [WordPress setup guide](https://plandalf.com/docs/platforms/wordpress) - [Webhooks, inbound and outbound](https://plandalf.com/docs/api/webhooks) - [Automations overview](https://plandalf.com/docs/integrations/plandalf) [Start your 14-day free trial](https://admin.plandalf.dev/signup) ## More from WordPress and ActiveCampaign - [**WordPress + Klaviyo**Klaviyo forms and tracking run on your WordPress site through Klaviyo's own script.
