What ist a ContactList in ActiveCampaign?

338 Views Asked by At

What is a ContactList in ActiveCampaign API v3 which is returned on a GET request?

GET api/3/contacts?include=contactLists.list,organization

enter image description here

I could not find any information on the contact list neither in the API nor the web application (https://User-Account.activehosted.com) itself. However, the lists are documented and are accessible via the web application.

Thank you for any help

ContactList is the list into which the contact is added which you can see here https://User-Account.activehosted.com/admin/main.php?action=list. By default, the contacts won't be added to any of the lists unless you have explicitly specified any list when adding the contact or you have to manually add the contact to a list from the contacts page (https://User-Account.activehosted.com/app/contacts).

Hope that answers your question. Please ask if you have any doubts.

In your example, "contactList" ist the relational connection between contacts and lists.

It's an n:m relation and therefore looks like

contact < contactList > list

A contactList entry holds a unique identifier, the contact's and list's id. (plus status and some more information)

contactList:
 id = unique relation id
 contact = contact.id
 list = list.id

P.S.: list is the list itself.
