Connect Ghost and ActiveCampaign

OpenContact sits between Ghost and ActiveCampaign. Capture a contact once, send it to either or both, and keep opt-outs in step where each tool supports it.

Good to know

ActiveCampaign

ActiveCampaign maps cleanly to OpenContact: real lists, contact sync (upsert), and subscribe/unsubscribe — so it works as both a destination and a source with no caveats.
