How to Send Paid Memberships Pro Data to ActiveCampaign

ActiveCampaign is a CRM and email marketing that helps you manage contacts and track interactions. If you want Paid Memberships Pro membership synced to ActiveCampaign, you could pay for a cloud automation service. Or you could do it directly from WordPress. This is the direct route.

Why not just use Zapier?

For connecting Paid Memberships Pro to CRM and email marketing, a cloud automation service adds cost and a dependency on an external server. AFI runs on your site with no task limits.

What you will need

• A WordPress site with Paid Memberships Pro installed and configured.
• A ActiveCampaign account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

Go to AFI → Add New. Name it Paid Memberships Pro to ActiveCampaign.

2. Pick your trigger

Select Paid Memberships Pro as the form provider. AFI fires when a member checks out or a membership level changes, giving you access to member name, email, membership level, payment amount, and order ID.

3. Select ActiveCampaign as the destination

Choose ActiveCampaign from the platform dropdown and pick Add Contact. This creates or updates a contact in Active Campaign.

4. Map fields

Match each ActiveCampaign field on the left to the corresponding Paid Memberships Pro field on the right. Common mappings include member name, email, membership level, payment amount, and order ID. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}}.

5. Add conditions if needed

Only want to send certain records? Set up a conditional rule based on any field value.

6. Save and test

Click Save Integration. Trigger a test event in Paid Memberships Pro. Check ActiveCampaign to confirm the data arrived. If anything looks wrong, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.

Free vs Pro

The free version maps email, first name, and last name to ActiveCampaign with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping and list assignment. No per-record fees on any plan.
