    • Doubling Annual Recurring Revenue each year
    • Helping over 150,000 customers

Features & functionality

Dive into the most common questions about our platform's capabilities.

  • What is the difference between automations, campaigns, & 1:1 emails?

    Automations are useful for when you want a sequence of events to be followed. This could involve pre-sale nurturing of a contact, post-sale up-sell emails and touch points, etc.

    Campaigns are one-time email messages sent to a list of opted-in contacts from the Campaigns Overview page. Common examples of campaigns are:

    • Product updates
    • Newsletters
    • One-time promotions

    1:1 emails are personal emails sent to a single contact. These emails can be sent from a Deal record, Contacts Overview page, or a Contact Profile page. Use this feature when you want to send a single, direct email to a contact without using an automation or campaign. This lets you create and store your communications with a contact in one place. Other common use cases include:

    • Send a follow-up email to a lead on a Deal
    • Reach out directly to your most engaged contacts with coupon codes or other special offers
  • Can I use custom fonts in my campaigns?

    While it’s possible to use custom fonts in your outgoing communications, it is not recommended as a best practice. Our drag-and-drop email designer offers a variety of fonts that are accepted by most email service providers, which means most (if not all contacts) will see the correct font in your email.

  • Does ActiveCampaign provide landing pages?

    Yes. ActiveCampaign Pages lets you spin up an unlimited number of on-brand, high-converting landing pages in minutes. 

    With Pages, you can automatically create and tag new contacts when they submit a form on your landing pages, trigger automations based on visits to a page, and use a buy-now button to drive check outs from a landing page.

  • How does ActiveCampaign track opens?

    We track opens on all HTML-based campaigns (emails created with the drag-and-drop designer or your own custom code) by embedding an invisible, 1‑pixel image in your campaign. When a contact opens your email and chooses to display the images in your email, that graphic is downloaded from our server and it’s recorded as an open.

    If a contact chooses not to display images, their open may still be tracked if they click on a link in your campaign or automation email. Note that link tracking will need to be enabled for this option.

    Note: It is not possible to track opens for plain text emails.
