ActiveCampaign Automation via Rube MCP

Automate ActiveCampaign CRM and marketing automation operations through Composio's ActiveCampaign toolkit via Rube MCP.

Prerequisites

• Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
• Active ActiveCampaign connection via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit active_campaign
• Always call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS first to get current tool schemas

Setup

Get Rube MCP: Add https://rube.app/mcp as an MCP server in your client configuration. No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works.

1. Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS responds
2. Call RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit active_campaign
3. If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete ActiveCampaign authentication
4. Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows

Core Workflows

1. Create and Find Contacts

When to use: User wants to create new contacts or look up existing ones

Tool sequence:

1. ACTIVE_CAMPAIGN_FIND_CONTACT - Search for an existing contact [Optional]
2. ACTIVE_CAMPAIGN_CREATE_CONTACT - Create a new contact [Required]

Key parameters for find:

• email: Search by email address
• id: Search by ActiveCampaign contact ID
• phone: Search by phone number

Key parameters for create:

• email: Contact email address (required)
• first_name: Contact first name
• last_name: Contact last name
• phone: Contact phone number
• organization_name: Contact's organization
• job_title: Contact's job title
• tags: Comma-separated list of tags to apply

Pitfalls:

• email is the only required field for contact creation
• Phone search uses a general search parameter internally; it may return partial matches
• When combining email and phone in FIND_CONTACT, results are filtered client-side
• Tags provided during creation are applied immediately
• Creating a contact with an existing email may update the existing contact
