ActiveCampaign Mailer

ActiveCampaign Mailer replaces the default WordPress wp_mail function with an integration for ActiveCampaign, allowing you to manage all your WordPress emails through ActiveCampaign campaigns. Every email sent through WordPress becomes a trackable campaign in your ActiveCampaign account.

Features

• Seamlessly integrates with ActiveCampaign API
• Converts WordPress emails into ActiveCampaign campaigns
• Automatic contact management
• Scheduled email campaigns
• Easy configuration and testing

External Services

This plugin connects to external services to provide its functionality:

ActiveCampaign

This plugin integrates with ActiveCampaign’s API to manage email campaigns and contacts. When you configure the plugin with your ActiveCampaign credentials, it sends the following data to ActiveCampaign:

• Contact information (email, name)
• Email content (subject, message body)
• Campaign scheduling information
• Mailing list data

This service is required for the core functionality of converting WordPress emails into ActiveCampaign campaigns. You can review ActiveCampaign’s terms and policies at:
* Terms of Service: https://www.activecampaign.com/terms-of-service/
* Privacy Policy: https://www.activecampaign.com/privacy-policy/

Make.com Webhook Service

This plugin sends a one-time activation notification to a Make.com webhook when the plugin is first configured. This notification contains:

• Website URL
• Plugin version
• WordPress version
• PHP version
• ActiveCampaign account name (derived from your base URL)

This data is sent only once when you first save your ActiveCampaign settings and is used for activation tracking and support purposes. The webhook service is provided by Make.com (formerly Integromat):
* Terms of Service: https://www.make.com/en/terms-of-service
* Privacy Policy: https://www.make.com/en/privacy
