ActiveCampaign Contact Upsert

Create an ActiveCampaign contact or update the contact with the same email address. Each run writes its first and last name.

Setup

Select your ActiveCampaign account in Create or update contact. The connection needs your account API URL and API token, with permission to add and edit contacts. Run with Email, First Name and Last Name. All three values are required in this template. In n8n, choose ActiveCampaign credentials, set the email and both names, and keep Update if Exists enabled.

Each run makes one contact sync request. An existing email updates that contact; a new email creates a contact. Other contact fields remain unchanged. The template does not subscribe the contact to a list or add tags. Existing account automations may respond to the contact change.

Open Flow returns the normalized contact and its complete raw record. n8n returns the saved contact from the API response. A failed request stops the run; no workflow retry or rollback is configured. Check the contact before repeating a request with an uncertain result.

Changes to the source

• Replace blank email and name fields with user configuration.
• Require email, first name and last name as Open Flow run inputs.
• Expose the saved contact as an Open Flow output.

Adapted from ActiveCampaign contact sync workflow in Zie619/n8n-workflows. The source export does not identify a separate template author or license.

The collection’s MIT notice is pinned at a later revision. This is the collection notice at that revision; it does not establish a separate original template author’s license. Our changes are listed above; see repository licensing.
