How do I connect Giveaway Ninja to ActiveCampaign?
Quick answer
Copy the API URL and API Key from ActiveCampaign under Settings > Developer. In Giveaway Ninja, open SETUP > INTEGRATIONS, expand ActiveCampaign, paste both values, click REFRESH LIST, pick a list and save. Then set "Export collected e-mails" to ActiveCampaign in your giveaway's SIGN-UP FORM tab.
1) Get your API URL and API key from ActiveCampaign
- Log in to your ActiveCampaign account
- Click the Settings (gear) icon above your avatar, then DEVELOPER
- Find the API Access section and copy the URL and Key values

2) Open the Integrations menu in Giveaway Ninja
- Log in to the dashboard
- Click SETUP > INTEGRATIONS
- Expand the ActiveCampaign section and click SETUP
- Paste the API URL you copied, then do the same for the API key
- Click "REFRESH LIST", then select the list you want to connect
- Click "Save" (it takes a few seconds to create the custom fields in ActiveCampaign)

3) Custom fields (optional)
The setup creates these custom fields in ActiveCampaign:
GNJ_InitialPage, GNJ_CouponId, GNJ_ReferrerSite, GNJ_ReferrerURL, GNJ_UTMSource, GNJ_UTMMedium, GNJ_UTMTerm, GNJ_UTMContent, GNJ_UTMCampaign, GNJ_Country
To show the merge fields you want on your contact's page, enable them:
- Click the "Lists" menu
