Ghost and ActiveCampaign integration
OpenContact sits between Ghost and ActiveCampaign. Capture a contact once, send it to either or both, and keep opt-outs in step where each tool supports it.
What each tool can do
| Tool | Connect with | Capabilities |
|---|---|---|
| Ghost | Admin URL + Custom Integration key | Send, Import, Member events |
| ActiveCampaign | API URL + key | Send, Import, Suppression |
Set it up
- Connect Ghost. Use Admin URL + Custom Integration key. Setup guide.
- Connect ActiveCampaign. Use API URL + key. Setup guide.
- Import your Ghost contacts into OpenContact, so there is one record per person.
- Create a sync rule. Pick a trigger, add Ghost and ActiveCampaign as destinations, and map the fields.
- Dry-run it. See which destinations match and which fields would be sent, then switch the rule on.
Good to know
ActiveCampaign
ActiveCampaign maps cleanly to OpenContact: real lists, contact sync (upsert), and subscribe/unsubscribe — so it works as both a destination and a source with no caveats.
Questions
Does OpenContact sync unsubscribes between Ghost and ActiveCampaign?

Do I need a CSV to move contacts between Ghost and ActiveCampaign?
No. Import contacts from one tool into OpenContact, then send them to the other with a sync rule. To move a whole list, use list migration.
Does connecting Ghost and ActiveCampaign cost extra?
Both tools bill you separately. OpenContact plans are priced by limits, and every plan includes all integrations. See pricing.
