Email and CRM actions at conversation speed

From contact lookups to automation triggers, your AI agent handles the ActiveCampaign operations that keep your marketing engine running around the clock.

Find Contact Details

A returning visitor asks about their subscription status. Your AI agent queries ActiveCampaign by email or phone, pulls their complete contact profile including tags and list memberships, and delivers personalized responses based on their history with your brand.

Capture New Leads

Someone expresses interest in your product during a conversation. Your AI agent creates a new contact in ActiveCampaign with their name, email, phone, and organization, then applies the appropriate tags so they enter your nurturing sequences automatically.

Trigger Automations

A prospect qualifies themselves through conversation. Your AI agent adds them to a specific ActiveCampaign automation, whether that's a welcome series, demo request sequence, or re-engagement campaign, all without your team lifting a finger.

Apply Contact Tags

Based on what customers reveal in conversation, your AI agent adds or removes tags in ActiveCampaign. Interest in a product line? Tagged. Mentioned a competitor? Tagged. This dynamic segmentation powers smarter email campaigns downstream.

Schedule Follow-up Tasks

When a conversation requires human attention, your AI agent creates a task in ActiveCampaign assigned to the right team member. Include context from the conversation, set due dates, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.

Search Contact Database

Need to verify if someone is already in your system before taking action? Your AI agent searches ActiveCampaign contacts by name, email domain, tag, or segment, returning the information needed to continue the conversation intelligently.

Use Cases

Marketing conversations that convert

See how businesses use AI agents with ActiveCampaign to capture leads, personalize interactions, and automate follow-up sequences that would otherwise require manual effort.

Instant Lead Capture and Nurturing

A website visitor shares their email while chatting about your services at 11 PM. Your AI agent creates them as a contact in ActiveCampaign, tags them based on expressed interests, and enrolls them in your welcome automation. By morning, they've received a personalized email sequence, and your sales team has a qualified lead waiting in the pipeline.

Personalized Responses for Known Contacts

A customer messages asking about their recent purchase. Your AI agent looks up their email in ActiveCampaign, sees they're tagged as a VIP customer enrolled in your loyalty program, and adjusts the conversation tone accordingly. They get white-glove treatment while your team handles other priorities.

Automated Event-Based Workflows

During conversation, a prospect mentions they're evaluating solutions for Q2. Your AI agent adds them to a timed nurture automation in ActiveCampaign, creates a follow-up task for sales to reach out in two weeks, and tags them with their buying timeline. The entire process happens within the same conversation.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AI agent look up contacts in my ActiveCampaign account?

The agent uses ActiveCampaign's API to search contacts by email address, phone number, or contact ID. It retrieves the full contact profile including custom fields, tags, list subscriptions, and automation enrollments, allowing it to personalize responses based on each person's history with your brand.

Can the AI agent add contacts to specific automations in ActiveCampaign?

Yes. When a contact qualifies during conversation, your agent can enroll them in any automation by ID. This includes welcome sequences, lead nurturing campaigns, re-engagement workflows, or custom automations you've built. Contacts enter the automation immediately and proceed through your defined steps.

What permissions does Tars need for my ActiveCampaign account?

Tars requires your API key and account URL from ActiveCampaign settings. The API key provides access to contacts, tags, automations, and tasks. We recommend creating a dedicated API key for Tars so you can revoke access independently if needed without affecting other integrations.

Does Tars store copies of my ActiveCampaign contact data?

Tars queries ActiveCampaign in real-time during conversations and does not maintain a separate database of your contacts. Contact information is retrieved when needed to answer questions or take actions, then the conversation context is processed according to your data retention settings.

Can the agent update tags based on what customers say?

Absolutely. Your agent can add or remove tags dynamically based on conversation content. If someone mentions interest in a specific product, expresses a pain point, or reveals their timeline, the agent updates their tags in ActiveCampaign so your automations and segments reflect current intent.

What happens if a customer asks about something before they were added to ActiveCampaign?

If the agent cannot find a contact in your ActiveCampaign account, it can offer to capture their information and create a new contact record. This turns unknown visitors into tracked contacts, ensuring no lead slips through because they weren't already in your database.

How is this different from ActiveCampaign's built-in Conversations chatbot?

ActiveCampaign's Conversations feature focused on basic chat and form collection. Tars AI agents understand context, answer complex questions using your knowledge base, and take sophisticated actions like triggering specific automations or applying conditional tags based on conversation flow, far beyond simple form captures.

Can I control which ActiveCampaign lists the agent can subscribe contacts to?

Yes. When configuring your agent, you define which lists, tags, and automations it can access. You can limit the agent to specific segments of your ActiveCampaign account, ensuring it only interacts with the data and workflows relevant to its purpose.
