02Use cases and prompts

What you can ask Claude

Each use case comes with a prompt to copy, the fields it uses from the ActiveCampaign fields list and who it’s for. The prompts pick campaigns by Campaign Send Date, because ActiveCampaign stores campaign results as lifetime totals.

Can Claude show which campaigns got the most opens and clicks?

You stop opening reports one by one, and the unsubscribe flag shows you which send to review before the next one goes out.

Prompt
From my ActiveCampaign account, list campaigns with a Campaign Send Date in the last 90 days, showing Campaign Name, Campaign Type, Campaign Send Date, Campaign Sends, Campaign Unique Opens, Campaign Verified Unique Opens, Campaign Subscriber Clicks, Campaign Unsubscribes and Campaign Hard Bounces. Work out open, click and unsubscribe rates per send, rank by click rate and flag any campaign where unsubscribes are above 0.5% of sends.

For: email marketers · agencies running client accounts · e-commerce teams

Fields used: Campaign NameCampaign TypeCampaign Send DateCampaign SendsCampaign Unique OpensCampaign Verified Unique OpensCampaign Subscriber ClicksCampaign UnsubscribesCampaign Hard Bounces

Can Claude show how many contacts enter and leave each automation?

The audit that meant clicking into every automation becomes one list, so you decide which ones to retire or rebuild.

Prompt
List my ActiveCampaign automations with Automation Name, Automation Entered and Automation Exited, and tell me which ones are active. Show how many contacts are still inside each (Entered minus Exited), rank by that number and list active automations with fewer than 10 contacts entered.

For: marketing ops · lifecycle marketers

Fields used: Automation NameAutomation IdAutomation EnteredAutomation Exited
Action: automation_list (status)

Can Claude summarize deal pipeline by stage?

You get the pipeline for the sales meeting grouped by stage, while deals missing a next step get called out.

Prompt
List my open ActiveCampaign deals (Deal Status 0) with Deal Title, Deal Group, Deal Stage, Deal Value, Deal Currency, Deal Win Probability, Deal Created Date and Deal Next Date. Look up the pipeline and stage names, group the deals by stage, and list open deals with no Deal Next Date.

For: B2B marketers · small sales teams · agencies managing a client CRM

Fields used: Deal TitleDeal StatusDeal GroupDeal StageDeal ValueDeal CurrencyDeal Win ProbabilityDeal Created DateDeal Next Date
Action: pipeline_list (names)

Do email clicks turn into GA4 sessions and key events?

You see which emails bring people who act on your site, and plan the next send, instead of matching two exports by hand.

Prompt
For ActiveCampaign campaigns with a Campaign Send Date last month, show Campaign Name, Campaign Analytics Campaign Name, Campaign Link Clicks and Campaign Subscriber Clicks. Then from Google Analytics 4, show Sessions and Key events by Session campaign where Session medium is email for the same month. Match the two on Campaign Analytics Campaign Name and Session campaign, and list campaigns with many clicks but few sessions.

For: e-commerce and growth marketers · agencies

Fields used: Campaign NameCampaign Analytics Campaign NameCampaign Send DateCampaign Link ClicksCampaign Subscriber ClicksSession campaignSession mediumSessionsKey events

Can Claude tag contacts and add them to an automation?

The follow-up runs from one chat instead of three screens, and you check the list before anyone gets tagged.

Prompt
In ActiveCampaign, find the contacts on my list 'Webinar – October' and tell me how many there are. Then create the tag 'webinar-attended', apply it to those contacts and add them to my 'Post-webinar follow-up' automation. Show me the plan and wait for my OK before you change anything.

Can Claude send campaigns or change ActiveCampaign contacts?

Yes. Claude creates, updates, tags and deletes contacts, as well as changing list subscriptions. It either enrolls contacts in automations, which is how you trigger marketing automations, or removes them. It also edits companies, deals and pipelines, creates lists, tags and custom fields, and drafts, schedules, tests and sends one-time campaigns.

You build automations and A/B, RSS or recurring campaigns in ActiveCampaign, then Claude enrolls contacts and reports on the results.

How fresh is the data, and how far back?

Porter answers from a stored copy of your account and tells you when it last refreshed. Because of that, reports stay clear of ActiveCampaign's 5-requests-per-second limit. Campaigns and deals go back to the oldest record, while daily sends were tested two years back.

07Security

Is it safe?

Yes, and you review each step. Claude previews every change before Porter makes it, and nothing changes until you confirm. Campaign sends, deletes and automation removals are permanent, so Claude asks before each one. Porter's ActiveCampaign connector for Claude uses one user's API key, so it gets that user's access.

How approvals work

Claude shows the plan and asks before every change. Sends, automation removals and deletes of contacts, deals, lists and tags are final, so test a campaign on one inbox first. Each completed change uses one AI credit, while bulk changes use one per contact.

What the connector needs from ActiveCampaign

Each ActiveCampaign user has their own API key, and Porter gets the access of the user whose key you paste (ActiveCampaign's note that each user has their own API key). If answers come back empty while the account looks connected, enter the key again in Porter.

08FAQ

FAQ

Four common questions come first, including agency accounts, ChatGPT and Claude Code, existing Data Studio users and automatic triggers. Then three fixes for numbers that look wrong or come back empty.

Can I connect several accounts, like an agency?

Yes. Connect each client's ActiveCampaign account in Porter, then ask Claude about one account or compare several in one chat. Porter bills each connected account separately, while one subscription covers every client. A new client then just means one more account.

Does it work in ChatGPT and Claude Code?

Yes. The same MCP URL behind Porter's ActiveCampaign connector works in ChatGPT and Claude Code, so one connection serves both. Here's how to connect ActiveCampaign to ChatGPT, while the Claude tutorial in the setup section covers Claude Code.

I already send ActiveCampaign to Looker Studio with Porter. Do I need to reconnect for Claude?

No. One ActiveCampaign account in Porter feeds every Porter destination, including Claude, at no extra cost. Just add Porter's MCP URL to Claude, then ask. The ActiveCampaign connector for Data Studio and the ActiveCampaign to Looker Studio tutorial keep working as before.

Can Claude act on its own when something changes?

Claude runs when you ask, or on a schedule you set in Claude, such as a Monday check of new deals. For instant reactions to a contact or deal change, pair it with ActiveCampaign's own automations: Claude enrolls the contacts, then the automation takes it from there.

Troubleshooting

Why don't the numbers match ActiveCampaign's reports?

Porter returns campaign results as lifetime totals, while ActiveCampaign's reports can filter by date. The Date on a campaign row is its created date, so ask by Campaign Send Date. Also compare like with like: Porter lists Campaign Verified Unique Opens next to Campaign Unique Opens.

Why can't Claude combine these fields?

Ask about one group at a time, then let Claude combine the answers. Porter keeps campaign, contact, deal, list, tag, form and automation fields in separate groups, so each question reads one group. Total Current metrics answer on their own, with no breakdown.

Why does Claude return no data?

Start by entering your ActiveCampaign API key again in Porter, since a key that stopped working still looks connected. Next, check that your plan's history reaches your dates; the Free plan covers 15 days in AI chats. Finally, Account Deal Count returns 0, so ask Claude to count deals from the Deal fields.
