Integration
Connect ActiveCampaign and OpenAI
When Link clicked in email fires in ActiveCampaign, your agent runs Create message in OpenAI, or New file in OpenAI to Add task in ActiveCampaign. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.
What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.
Build solutions, not workarounds.
What do you want ActiveCampaign and OpenAI to do together?
Ask the assistant
Connect your AI client
Give your AI client this address.
https://mcp.apiant.aiOne connection does both: ask your client to act in an app once, or have it build an automation that keeps running. Any client that takes a remote MCP server. Nothing to install. Create your free account, then sign in once in your browser.
Set it up in your client
Claude Code
Run this in the directory you want to work in.
claude mcp add --transport http -s project apiant-ai https://mcp.apiant.aiStart Claude Code there, approve the server, and sign in in the browser page it opens.
Claude Code guide (opens in a new tab)Claude, web and desktop
Open Customize, then Connectors, then Add custom connector, and paste the address. On Team and Enterprise an owner adds it first.
Setup guide (opens in a new tab)Cursor
Add the address to your MCP configuration as a server URL. Cursor signs you in in your browser.
Setup guide (opens in a new tab)Zed
Open Settings, then AI, then MCP Servers, then Add Server, then Add Remote Server.
Setup guide (opens in a new tab)Codex and the ChatGPT desktop app
Open Settings, then MCP servers, then Add server, and choose Streamable HTTP. From the terminal, Codex takes the address with its own add command and then signs you in.
Setup guide (opens in a new tab)Any other MCP client
Paste the address where the client asks for a remote MCP server URL, and name the server apiant-ai where it lets you. APIANT's skills reach the client over the same connection.
Setup guide (opens in a new tab)ActiveCampaign holds your contacts, deals, notes and tasks; OpenAI can read and write text, audio and images. Connecting them lets a new deal or a clicked link in ActiveCampaign feed a model prompt, and lets the reply land back as a deal note, a contact note or a task. Work done in OpenAI, like a finished video or an uploaded file, can also raise follow-up work in ActiveCampaign.

Questions
ActiveCampaign and OpenAI, answered
Can the model's reply be saved back onto the right record in ActiveCampaign?
Yes. After a step like Send model a message or Create chat completion, the agent can use Create a deal note, Add note to contact or Create a note so the text is attached to the deal or contact that started the run.
What happens if a deal has no contact attached?
The agent can run Get contact as a lookup first and only continue when a contact is found. If nothing comes back, the run stops there and nothing is written to ActiveCampaign.
What can start an automation from ActiveCampaign?
Any of ActiveCampaign's 19 triggers in the catalog, including Link clicked in email, New deal, New note and Deal task completed. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in OpenAI when something happens in ActiveCampaign?
Any of OpenAI's 69 actions, including Content moderation, Create chat completion, Create assistant and Create completion. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from OpenAI to ActiveCampaign?
Yes. When something happens in OpenAI, your agent can act in ActiveCampaign too. This page covers both directions: OpenAI's triggers and ActiveCampaign's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for ActiveCampaign or OpenAI?
No. Both are in the catalog with their triggers and actions. You describe the automation; your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running.
Can my AI client use ActiveCampaign and OpenAI without building an automation?
Yes. With your AI client connected to APIANT, ask it to do something in either app once and it runs that action on the spot. Ask for an automation and your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. One connection covers both.
What happens when something fails?
Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Every plan includes the agent, including free, and building from your own AI client spends no assistant credits.
