Manage ActiveCampaign Data in DBArtisan as a JDBC Source

The CData JDBC Driver for ActiveCampaign seamlessly integrates ActiveCampaign data into database management tools like DBArtisan by enabling you to access ActiveCampaign data as a database. This article shows how to create a JDBC source for ActiveCampaign in DBArtisan. You can then edit data visually and execute standard SQL.

Integrate ActiveCampaign Data into DBArtisan Projects

Follow the steps below to register ActiveCampaign data as a database instance in your project:

1. In DBArtisan, click Data Source -> Register Datasource.
2. Select Generic JDBC.
3. Click Manage.
4. In the resulting dialog, click New. Enter a name for the driver and click Add. In the resulting dialog, navigate to the driver JAR. The driver JAR is located in the lib subfolder of the installation directory.
5. In the Connection URL box, enter credentials and other required connection properties in the JDBC URL.

   ActiveCampaign supports authenticating with the API Key. To connect to ActiveCampaign, set the following:

   • URL: This can be found in your account on the My Settings page under the Developer tab. For example: https://{yourAccountName}.api-us1.com
   • APIKey: This can be found in your account on the Settings page under the Developer tab. Each user in your ActiveCampaign account has their own unique API key.

   Built-in Connection String Designer

   For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the ActiveCampaign JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.

   java -jar cdata.jdbc.activecampaign.jar

   Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.

   Below is a typical connection string:

   jdbc:activecampaign:URL=yourUrl;APIKey=yourApiKey
6. Finish the wizard to connect to ActiveCampaign data. ActiveCampaign entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.

You can now work with ActiveCampaign data as you work with any other database. See the driver help documentation for more information on the queries supported by the ActiveCampaign API.
