Click the green 'Install App' button in the top right corner.


2. Connect to ActiveCampaign

You will then see a login screen. Enter your login credentials here.

Click on the gear icon ('Settings') in the top right corner.

You need the URL (1) and the Key (2) to establish the connection with ActiveCampaign in Combidesk.


3. Configuration of the integration

For the integration to work properly, it must be configured correctly. In the paragraph below, we'll go through all the steps of the integration in sequence. Before starting the installation, we recommend that you first carefully read through these steps.


Configure these Lightspeed steps:

  • Export existing subscribers
    You may already have subscriptions, do you want to export them?

    This may take a while for larger webshops!

  • Customers with subscription?
    Only transfer customers with a confirmed newsletter subscription?

  • Customers with completed orders only?
    Do you want to synchronize only customers with completed orders? Note, this setting does not affect the synchronization of orders.

  • Select product identifier
    Which product identifier should be used to match?

  • Export existing customers
    You may already have customers, do you want to export them?

    This may take a while for larger webshops!


Configure these ActiveCampaign steps:

  • Select the list
    Select the list the contacts will be added to

  • Add unconfirmed subscribers
    Indicate if unconfirmed subscribers should be added too (if applicable)

  • Select a mailing list for customers
    Customers subscribed to the newsletter will be added to this list. If you don't select a list (or 'No choice'), none will be transferred.

  • Select a webform to integrate in your webshop


4. The Combidesk customer dashboard

How does the dashboard work?

If you've created a new Combidesk account or installed a integration, you'll receive an email with access to your Combidesk account. When you log in to combidesk.com, you'll arrive at the dashboard. This is where your integration is located. From here, you can easily adjust your integration and account settings, view the integration logs (history), and access support.

What can you view via your Combidesk account?

From your Combidesk dashboard you also have access to your account settings, connected accounts, billing and support.
