Using the ActiveCampaign plugin for WordPress
You can download the plugin here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/activecampaign-subscription-forms/. When connected to the plugin with your ActiveCampaign dashboard you can let the plugin install the code, and enable tracking by default. Complianz will then control tracking based on consent.
Complianz will initialize ActiveCampaign on consent.
Adding the tracking script manually
If you are not using the plugin, but have, or will implement the code manually, please do the following;
- Go to your ActiveCampaign dashboard, and look for your tracking code under ‘Settings’.

If you’re using Tag Manager, follow the same instruction, but add the script code under the Custom Event: cmplz_event_marketing. More information can be found in our guide about Tag Manager. It should look like this:
