1

2

Authenticate ActiveCampaign

Click "Add Connection" and select ActiveCampaign from the app directory. You'll be redirected to ActiveCampaign's authorization page. Grant Arahi access to your campaigns, audiences, and analytics data. You control which lists and campaigns the integration can modify.

Choose your trigger

Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new subscriber in activecampaign or new message received in intercom. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.

5

6

Test and activate

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about connecting ActiveCampaign and Intercom.

How do I connect ActiveCampaign to Intercom?

Sign up for a free Arahi AI account, then click "Add Connection" to authenticate both ActiveCampaign and Intercom via OAuth. Choose a workflow template — like syncing marketing events to communication actions — customize the field mapping, and activate. The entire setup takes under 5 minutes.

What can I automate between ActiveCampaign and Intercom?

Common workflows include: post ActiveCampaign campaign results to Intercom channels, alert Intercom when ActiveCampaign leads hit scoring thresholds, share ActiveCampaign A/B test winners in Intercom, and notify Intercom when ActiveCampaign email sequences complete. Each can be customized with filters and conditions.

Is the ActiveCampaign and Intercom integration free?

Arahi AI includes 100 free actions per month on the Starter plan — enough for most small teams. If your ActiveCampaign-to-Intercom workflows need more volume, paid plans start at $29/month with unlimited workflows and priority execution.

Is my ActiveCampaign data secure when connected to Intercom?

Yes. Arahi uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your ActiveCampaign or Intercom passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your marketing data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your Arahi dashboard.

Can I sync data both ways between ActiveCampaign and Intercom?

Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either ActiveCampaign or Intercom. For example, create a workflow where ActiveCampaign events update Intercom, and a separate one where Intercom changes sync back to ActiveCampaign. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.

Do I need technical skills to connect ActiveCampaign and Intercom?

No coding is required. Arahi's visual workflow builder lets you configure triggers, actions, and field mapping with clicks. If you can use ActiveCampaign and Intercom, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
