Verify and clean ActiveCampaign contacts automatically
Transform ActiveCampaign into a self-cleaning marketing machine. Verify every email across contacts, deals, and custom objects via Zapier to instantly update properties, trigger automation paths, and ensure 100% deliverability.
How it works
EmailVerify integrates seamlessly with ActiveCampaign through Zapier, allowing marketing teams to turn email validation into a fully automated and trackable CRM workflow. Instead of manually cleaning lists or dealing with bounces after an automation starts, you can automatically verify every new contact, deal, or account update directly within ActiveCampaign. This no-code automation ensures your marketing funnels are powered by verified, reachable leads from the moment they enter your ecosystem.
When an email is verified as valid, invalid, or risky, Zapier can instantly update ActiveCampaign contact tags, add notes, move deals across pipeline stages, or trigger specific automation webhooks. You can set up workflows to automatically remove bounces, filter out fake WhatsApp inbound leads, or notify your sales team about high-value verified prospects. This integration eliminates fake signups, improves your sender reputation, and ensures your revenue team focuses on real opportunities—all without writing a single line of code.
How to Set Up the ActiveCampaign + EmailVerify.io Zap
- 1 Set the Trigger: In Zapier, select ActiveCampaign as the trigger app with event 'New Contact' (or 'New or Updated Contact'). Connect your ActiveCampaign account and test the trigger.
- 2 Add the EmailVerify.io Action: Add EmailVerify.io as the next action. Select 'Verify Email' and map the email field from the ActiveCampaign trigger to the Email parameter. Connect your EmailVerify.io account at app.emailverify.io.
- 3 Add a Zapier Filter (Recommended): After the EmailVerify.io action, add a Filter step. Set the condition so only contacts where EV_Status contains 'valid' continue to the next step — invalid contacts stop here.
- 4 Update ActiveCampaign: Add a final ActiveCampaign action to update the contact. You can see current bundle options on our pricing page. Activate the Zap — it runs automatically on every new ActiveCampaign contact.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I connect EmailVerify.io to ActiveCampaign via Zapier?
In Zapier, create a new Zap. Select ActiveCampaign as the trigger app with event 'New Contact'. Connect your ActiveCampaign account. Then add EmailVerify.io as the action, select 'Verify Email', and map the email field. Connect your EmailVerify.io account using your API key from app.emailverify.io?locale=en. Test the Zap and turn it on.
What ActiveCampaign trigger should I use for email verification?
'New Contact' is the most common trigger — it fires every time a contact is added to ActiveCampaign. 'New or Updated Contact' is useful if you also want to verify contacts whose email is edited. 'Contact Added to List' is a good choice if you only want to verify contacts joining a specific list.
Can I verify emails inside an ActiveCampaign automation?
Yes. Use a Webhook action inside your ActiveCampaign Automation to send the contact's email to Zapier. Zapier calls EmailVerify.io, gets the result, and updates the contact with a tag or custom field. Your automation can then branch based on that tag.
How do I add a tag to invalid contacts in ActiveCampaign?
After the EmailVerify.io action in your Zap, add a Zapier Filter step so only contacts where EV_Status does not contain 'valid' continue. Then add an ActiveCampaign action — 'Add Tag' — and set it to 'email-invalid'.
Can I write EV_Status to an ActiveCampaign custom field?
Yes. In the final step of your Zap, add an ActiveCampaign 'Update Contact' action. Map the EV_Status value from EmailVerify.io to a custom field (e.g., 'EV_Status') in ActiveCampaign. This lets you segment contacts based on the result.
Does EmailVerify.io detect disposable emails for ActiveCampaign contacts?
Yes. EmailVerify.io checks every email against 10,000+ known disposable providers. Disposable addresses return EV_Status of 'disposable'. You can use a Zapier Filter to block these from entering your sequences.
Do I need to be a developer to set this up?
No. The integration is completely no-code. Zapier provides a visual interface to map fields. No API calls or coding experience is required. Setup typically takes under 10 minutes.
Is this different from the direct ActiveCampaign integration?
How much does this cost to run?
Can I verify contacts already in ActiveCampaign retroactively?
You're just one click away from clean email lists.
