I’m trying to create a Zap where when a Crelate contact is added, the same contact is added to ActiveCampaign.  

 

I manage to input all the fields right, or at least I assume so.  But when I test the action, I get an error saying ‘

Failed to create a contact account in ActiveCampaign

The app returned "The related contact does not exist."

 

Anyone encountered this issue before?  I’m completely stumped.

Please post screenshots with how your Zap steps are configured to give us more context, thanks.

The AC Contact ID field expects the internal Contact ID, rather than the concatenated [First Name][Last Name][Email].

 

 

You can add a step before to get the AC Contact ID.
