Automate ActiveCampaign CRM & Marketing

This skill automates ActiveCampaign CRM and marketing-automation operations through Composio's ActiveCampaign toolkit via Rube MCP. It covers five core workflows: finding and creating contacts (by email, ID, or phone), managing contact tags (add/remove, with different capitalization conventions per action type), managing list subscriptions (subscribe/unsubscribe by numeric list ID), enrolling contacts in existing automations, and creating contact-associated follow-up tasks with due dates, task types, and assignees. Each workflow specifies its required tool sequence - like find-then-create or find-then-enroll - and the exact parameters each ActiveCampaign tool needs, along with documented pitfalls for each.

Use it when you need to perform ActiveCampaign CRM operations - contact management, tagging, list subscriptions, automation enrollment, or task creation - through Rube MCP rather than the ActiveCampaign UI or raw API. It cannot create automations themselves - only enroll contacts into existing, active ones, since automation creation is UI-only - and it can't resolve list or automation IDs to names via a Composio tool, requiring a fallback to the ActiveCampaign UI or the GET /api/3/lists/GET /api/3/automations endpoints for that lookup. As a critical-risk skill that writes directly to a live CRM, it should be used with the same care as any production data-mutation tool.

Input is the target contact, identified by email, numeric ID, or phone, plus the operation's own parameters: tags and an 'Add'/'Remove' action for tagging, a numeric list_id and lowercase 'subscribe'/'unsubscribe' action for subscriptions, automation_id for enrollment, or relid/duedate (ISO 8601 with timezone)/dealTasktype for task creation. Output is the ActiveCampaign API response for each operation, which may be nested under data or data.data and should be parsed defensively rather than assuming a fixed shape.

Runs through Rube MCP (https://rube.app/mcp, no API keys needed - just add the endpoint) and Composio's active_campaign toolkit, using RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS to fetch current tool schemas and RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS to verify or establish the ActiveCampaign connection before any workflow runs.

Teams automating ActiveCampaign CRM and marketing operations from an agent, especially ones that need the specific parameter gotchas already worked out: inconsistent action-string capitalization between tag ('Add'/'Remove') and subscription ('subscribe'/'unsubscribe') tools, ID types that must always be strings rather than integers, ActiveCampaign's per-account rate limits requiring backoff on 429 responses, and the fact that automations can only be enrolled into, never created, via the API. Creating a contact with an already-existing email updates that contact rather than erroring, and removing a tag that doesn't exist is a silent no-op - both worth knowing before running bulk operations.
