ActiveCampaign

Email marketing. A Piksio image goes into ActiveCampaign as an ordinary image link. The platform fills in each recipient’s values, and Piksio renders their version when the email is opened.

ActiveCampaign writes merge tags like %FIRSTNAME%.

ActiveCampaign doesn’t URL-encode values inside links, so keep personalized fields free of & and # (they can cut the link short).

Piksio maps these to ActiveCampaign’s own fields automatically:

Piksio field ActiveCampaign field
first_name FIRSTNAME
last_name LASTNAME

Any other field must exist in ActiveCampaign before you send. Contacts → Fields → Add field. ActiveCampaign then shows the field’s personalization tag, e.g. %COMPANYNAME%.

Add an Image block and paste into its image URL.

Formats offered: Image URL, HTML. The default for ActiveCampaign is Image URL.

For a design with first_name and company_name, the Image URL looks like this:

https://app.piksio.com/i/YOUR_IMAGE_ID?first_name=%FIRSTNAME%&company_name=%COMPANY_NAME%
  • ActiveCampaign can’t URL-encode personalization tags, so keep these fields free of & and #.
  1. In Use in email, use Test the link with sample values, and again with unfilled tags. Both are free.
  2. Preview one real recipient in ActiveCampaign to confirm it fills in the fields.
  3. See Fallbacks and blanks for what a recipient with missing data sees.
