Before you create the connection in Make, you should first obtain the **API URL** and **API key** values in your ActiveCampaign account.

To obtain these values:

::::WorkflowBlock
:::WorkflowBlockItem
Log in to your ActiveCampaign account.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
In the left sidebar, click **Settings > Developer**.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Under **API Access**, copy the **API URL** and the **API key** value shown and store it in a safe place.
:::
::::

You'll use these values in the **API Key** , **Account Name**, and **Domain** fields in Make.

## Create the connection in Make 

To establish the connection in Make:

:::::WorkflowBlock
::::WorkflowBlockItem
Log in to your Make account, add an ActiveCampaign module to your scenario and click **Create a connection**.

:::hint{type="info"}

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Optional: In the **Connection name** field, enter a name for the connection.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
In the **API Key** field, enter the API key copied from your ActiveCampaign account.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
In the **Account Name** field, enter the account name. You can find it in the **API URL** copied in the section above. The account name goes before the domain: `your_account_name.api-us1.com`.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
In the **Domain** dropdown list, select or enter the domain indicated in your **API URL**.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Click **Save**.

:::WorkflowBlockItem
If prompted, authenticate your account and confirm access.
