Validate Contacts Before
Every ActiveCampaign Flow
Keep ActiveCampaign automations running on validated, deliverable contacts. ValidPeak cleans lists before onboarding sequences, win-back campaigns, and broadcast sends.
What you can do
Pre-automation flow validation
Validate all contacts before they enter ActiveCampaign automation flows. Invalid addresses in onboarding sequences, welcome series, and drip campaigns generate bounces that damage your domain reputation across all sends.
Broadcast campaign hygiene
Run ValidPeak validation on your ActiveCampaign list before major campaign sends — product announcements, promotions, newsletters. Keeps bounce rates below the thresholds that trigger ISP throttling.
Import validation for new contacts
Validate every batch of new contacts before importing to ActiveCampaign — from lead magnets, webinars, trade shows, or CRM exports. Prevents bad addresses from entering your scoring, segmentation, and automation system.
How it works
Export contacts from ActiveCampaign
In ActiveCampaign, go to Contacts → Import/Export → Export. Select all contacts or a specific list/segment. Download the CSV file.
Upload to ValidPeak Bulk Validation
Upload the CSV to ValidPeak. Each address is checked against SMTP, disposable domain databases, spam traps, role-based patterns, and syntax validation — 25+ layers total.
Download results tagged by category
ValidPeak returns a CSV with each address tagged valid, risky, or invalid, along with the specific reason for each failure.
Re-import and suppress invalid contacts
Import back into ActiveCampaign. Map the validation status to a custom field. Build an automation to unsubscribe contacts tagged invalid from all lists.
Frequently asked questions
Does ValidPeak have a native ActiveCampaign integration?
The primary workflow is CSV export/import: export contacts from ActiveCampaign, validate in ValidPeak, and re-import with validation status as a custom field. For automation-based real-time validation, connect ValidPeak's API via Make or Zapier, triggered on new ActiveCampaign contact creation.
Why does ActiveCampaign deliverability drop over time even with double opt-in?
Double opt-in confirms intent at the time of signup but not long-term validity. Email addresses decay at roughly 22% per year — people change jobs, abandon providers, and domains expire. A list collected 12 months ago with perfect double opt-in may still contain 1 in 5 undeliverable addresses, regardless of how they were confirmed.
Can ValidPeak help with ActiveCampaign sender reputation?
Yes. ActiveCampaign monitors bounce rates and engagement per account and per sending domain. Removing hard bounce sources and inactive invalid addresses improves engagement rates (opens, clicks), which is the primary signal ISPs use to assess sender reputation for your domain.
How do I tag invalid contacts in ActiveCampaign after validation?
Add a custom field in ActiveCampaign called 'Email Validation Status'. When re-importing the ValidPeak results CSV, map the status column to this field. Then build an ActiveCampaign automation that unsubscribes or archives contacts where the field equals 'invalid'.
