Pricing Tiers: ActiveCampaign offers tiered pricing based on contact count, starting from $29/month for up to 1,000 contacts (Lite plan) up to Enterprise plans with custom pricing. Unlike basic email marketing platforms, ActiveCampaign charges based on the sophistication of features you need, not just contact count.
However, even the most sophisticated automation workflows can fail if your contact database contains invalid email addresses. High bounce rates damage your sender reputation, trigger spam filters, and waste budget on contacts that don't exist—which is where our becomes essential for ActiveCampaign users.
While ActiveCampaign excels at delivering personalized automation experiences, it doesn't verify email addresses before adding them to your contact database. If your lists contain invalid or risky emails, you'll face serious challenges:
❌ Damaged Sender Reputation: Invalid emails cause hard bounces, which hurt your domain reputation with ISPs and can trigger deliverability issues across all your campaigns
❌ Wasted Automation Budget: You're paying ActiveCampaign for contacts that don't exist or will never engage
❌ Inaccurate Lead Scoring: Poor data quality skews engagement metrics, making lead scoring unreliable
❌ Broken Automation Workflows: Bounces and invalid emails create friction in otherwise smooth customer journeys
❌ Lower ROI: Campaign performance metrics are distorted, making it harder to optimize and prove marketing ROI
❌ Spam Trap Hits: Old or invalid emails may turn into spam traps, blacklisting your sending domain

Method 2: Zapier Integration (No-Code)
Connect ActiveCampaign and EmailVerify using Zapier for automated workflows without coding.
Example Zap Workflow
Trigger: New or Updated Contact in ActiveCampaign ↓ Action: Verify Email with EmailVerify (Webhooks by Zapier) ↓ Filter: Only Valid Emails ↓ Action: Add Tag in ActiveCampaign ("verified") ↓ Action: Update Custom Field in ActiveCampaign (verification status) ↓ Action: Add to Automation in ActiveCampaign (verified contacts workflow)
Challenge: A SaaS company generates 2,000 free trial signups per month via ActiveCampaign forms, but 22% bounce during the welcome email sequence, and 35% of trials are fake (disposable emails).
Solution: Integrate real-time EmailVerify validation on all signup forms with disposable email detection enabled.
Results:
✅ Bounce rate reduced from 22% to 0.8%
✅ Fake trial signups eliminated (35% reduction)
✅ Trial-to-paid conversion rate improved by 28%
✅ Sales team efficiency increased (fewer junk leads)
✅ Saved $450/month in wasted ActiveCampaign contact fees
Use Case 2: E-commerce Abandoned Cart Recovery Optimization
Challenge: An online store sends abandoned cart emails via ActiveCampaign to 8,000 contacts per month, but 18% of emails bounce, and cart recovery rate is low due to poor contact quality.
Solution: Schedule daily bulk verification of cart abandonment segment, excluding catch-all and disposable emails from expensive SMS follow-ups.
Results:
✅ Identified and removed 1,440 invalid emails (18%)
✅ Cart recovery rate improved by 41%
✅ SMS campaign costs reduced by 30% (excluded risky contacts)
✅ Revenue from recovered carts increased by $12,000/month

Use Case 3: B2B Lead Nurturing Quality Enhancement
Challenge: A B2B company imports 5,000 leads per month from webinars and content downloads into ActiveCampaign, but 42% are low-quality (role accounts, catch-all, disposable) leading to poor MQL rates.
Solution: Implement API-based verification on lead import with role account and catch-all detection. Route verified leads to sales automation, risky leads to extended nurture.
Results:
✅ Lead quality score improved by 53%
✅ Marketing Qualified Leads (MQL) increased by 38%
✅ Sales team follow-up efficiency improved 2.5x
✅ Cost-per-qualified-lead decreased by 31%
✅ CRM clutter reduced significantly (better data hygiene)
Use Case 4: Agency Multi-Client Database Management
Challenge: A marketing agency manages ActiveCampaign for 25 clients with a combined database of 500,000 contacts. Manual list cleaning takes 20 hours/month, and clients experience varying deliverability issues.

FAQ About ActiveCampaign Integration
How does this integration work with ActiveCampaign?
The EmailVerify + ActiveCampaign integration works via API or webhooks. When someone is added to your ActiveCampaign contact database, our API verifies the email in real-time (less than 1 second). Valid emails are kept active and can trigger automation workflows, invalid ones are unsubscribed or tagged for review, and risky emails are flagged for manual inspection.
Will it slow down my ActiveCampaign forms?
No. EmailVerify's API responds in less than 1 second on average (median response time: 450ms). For even faster performance, you can use asynchronous validation (verify after form submission completes) or enable our caching layer for previously verified emails (instant validation).
Can I verify my existing ActiveCampaign contacts?
Yes! You can verify existing contacts in multiple ways:
🔒 Encryption: All API calls use HTTPS/TLS 1.3 encryption
🔒 GDPR Compliant: We don't store or share your email data beyond verification
🔒 SOC 2 Type II Certified: Industry-standard security practices and audits
🔒 API Key Security: Keys are encrypted at rest and can be rotated anytime
🔒 Data Retention: Emails are processed in real-time and not permanently stored
🔒 Audit Logs: Full audit trail available for compliance requirements
🔒 CCPA Compliant: Respecting California privacy regulations
Your contact data is transmitted securely and never shared with third parties. We maintain SOC 2 Type II certification and undergo regular security audits.
What's the difference between this and ActiveCampaign's built-in validation?
Great question! ActiveCampaign performs basic syntax validation on forms, but it doesn't verify if the email actually exists or can receive mail. Here's the comparison:
ActiveCampaign Built-in:
✅ Syntax check (format validation)
❌ No mailbox existence verification
❌ No domain health check
❌ No disposable email detection
❌ No catch-all detection
❌ No role account detection
❌ No spam trap detection
EmailVerify:
✅ Full syntax validation (RFC 5322)
✅ Mailbox existence verification (SMTP)
✅ Domain health and MX record check
✅ Disposable email detection (500,000+ domains)
✅ Catch-all domain detection
✅ Role account detection
✅ Spam trap and honeypot detection
✅ Deliverability scoring (0-100)
EmailVerify provides enterprise-grade verification that goes 10+ layers deeper than basic syntax checks.
