ActiveCampaign Automation via Rube MCP workflow skill. Use this skill when the user needs Automate ActiveCampaign tasks via Rube MCP (Composio): manage contacts, tags, list subscriptions, automation enrollment, and tasks. Always search tools first for current schemas and the operator should preserve the upstream workflow, copied support files, and provenance before merging or handing off.

This public intake copy packages plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/activecampaign-automation from https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.
Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.
This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses the external_source block in metadata.json plus ORIGIN.md as the provenance anchor for review.
ActiveCampaign Automation via Rube MCP Automate ActiveCampaign CRM and marketing automation operations through Composio's ActiveCampaign toolkit via Rube MCP.
Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Prerequisites, Common Patterns, Known Pitfalls, Limitations.
When to Use This Skill
Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.
This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.
Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: Automate ActiveCampaign tasks via Rube MCP (Composio): manage contacts, tags, list subscriptions, automation enrollment, and tasks. Always search tools first for current schemas.
Use when the operator should preserve upstream workflow detail instead of rewriting the process from scratch.
Use when provenance needs to stay visible in the answer, PR, or review packet.
Use when copied upstream references, examples, or scripts materially improve the answer.
Use when the workflow should remain reviewable in the public intake repo before the private enhancer takes over.

Imported: Core Workflows
1. Create and Find Contacts
When to use: User wants to create new contacts or look up existing ones
Tool sequence:
ACTIVE_CAMPAIGN_FIND_CONTACT - Search for an existing contact [Optional]
ACTIVE_CAMPAIGN_CREATE_CONTACT - Create a new contact [Required]
Key parameters for find:
email: Search by email address
id: Search by ActiveCampaign contact ID
phone: Search by phone number
Key parameters for create:
email: Contact email address (required)
first_name: Contact first name
last_name: Contact last name
phone: Contact phone number
organization_name: Contact's organization
job_title: Contact's job title
tags: Comma-separated list of tags to apply
Pitfalls:
email is the only required field for contact creation
Phone search uses a general search parameter internally; it may return partial matches
When combining email and phone in FIND_CONTACT, results are filtered client-side
Tags provided during creation are applied immediately
Creating a contact with an existing email may update the existing contact
2. Manage Contact Tags
When to use: User wants to add or remove tags from contacts
Tool sequence:
ACTIVE_CAMPAIGN_FIND_CONTACT - Find contact by email or ID [Prerequisite]
ACTIVE_CAMPAIGN_MANAGE_CONTACT_TAG - Add or remove tags [Required]
Key parameters:
action: 'Add' or 'Remove' (required)
tags: Tag names as comma-separated string or array of strings (required)
contact_id: Contact ID (provide this or contact_email)
contact_email: Contact email address (alternative to contact_id)
Pitfalls:
action values are capitalized: 'Add' or 'Remove' (not lowercase)
Tags can be a comma-separated string ('tag1, tag2') or an array (['tag1', 'tag2'])
Either contact_id or contact_email must be provided; contact_id takes precedence
Adding a tag that does not exist creates it automatically
Removing a non-existent tag is a no-op (does not error)
3. Manage List Subscriptions
When to use: User wants to subscribe or unsubscribe contacts from lists
Tool sequence:
ACTIVE_CAMPAIGN_FIND_CONTACT - Find the contact [Prerequisite]
ACTIVE_CAMPAIGN_MANAGE_LIST_SUBSCRIPTION - Subscribe or unsubscribe [Required]
Key parameters:
action: 'subscribe' or 'unsubscribe' (required)
list_id: Numeric list ID string (required)
email: Contact email address (provide this or contact_id)
contact_id: Numeric contact ID string (alternative to email)
Pitfalls:
action values are lowercase: 'subscribe' or 'unsubscribe'
list_id is a numeric string (e.g., '2'), not the list name
List IDs can be retrieved via the GET /api/3/lists endpoint (not available as a Composio tool; use the ActiveCampaign UI)
If both email and contact_id are provided, contact_id takes precedence
Unsubscribing changes status to '2' (unsubscribed) but the relationship record persists
4. Add Contacts to Automations
When to use: User wants to enroll a contact in an automation workflow
ACTIVE_CAMPAIGN_ADD_CONTACT_TO_AUTOMATION - Enroll contact in automation [Required]
Key parameters:
contact_email: Email of the contact to enroll (required)
automation_id: ID of the target automation (required)
Pitfalls:
The contact must already exist in ActiveCampaign
Automations can only be created through the ActiveCampaign UI, not via API
automation_id must reference an existing, active automation
The tool performs a two-step process: lookup contact by email, then enroll
Automation IDs can be found in the ActiveCampaign UI or via GET /api/3/automations
5. Create Contact Tasks
When to use: User wants to create follow-up tasks associated with contacts
Tool sequence:
ACTIVE_CAMPAIGN_FIND_CONTACT - Find the contact to associate the task with [Prerequisite]
ACTIVE_CAMPAIGN_CREATE_CONTACT_TASK - Create the task [Required]
Key parameters:
relid: Contact ID to associate the task with (required)
duedate: Due date in ISO 8601 format with timezone (required, e.g., '2025-01-15T14:30:00-05:00')
dealTasktype: Task type ID based on available types (required)
title: Task title
note: Task description/content
assignee: User ID to assign the task to
edate: End date in ISO 8601 format (must be later than duedate)
status: 0 for incomplete, 1 for complete
Pitfalls:
duedate must be a valid ISO 8601 datetime with timezone offset; do NOT use placeholder values
edate must be later than duedate
dealTasktype is a string ID referencing task types configured in ActiveCampaign
relid is the numeric contact ID, not the email address
assignee is a user ID; resolve user names to IDs via the ActiveCampaign UI
Imported: Prerequisites
Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
Active ActiveCampaign connection via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit active_campaign
Always call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS first to get current tool schemas
Examples
Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly
Use @activecampaign-automation to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.
Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.
Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review
Review @activecampaign-automation against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.
Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.
Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution
Use @activecampaign-automation for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.
Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.
Example 4: Build a reviewer packet
Review @activecampaign-automation using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.
Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.
Best Practices
Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.
Keep the imported skill grounded in the upstream repository; do not invent steps that the source material cannot support.
Prefer the smallest useful set of support files so the workflow stays auditable and fast to review.
Keep provenance, source commit, and imported file paths visible in notes and PR descriptions.
Point directly at the copied upstream files that justify the workflow instead of relying on generic review boilerplate.
Treat generated examples as scaffolding; adapt them to the concrete task before execution.
Route to a stronger native skill when architecture, debugging, design, or security concerns become dominant.
Troubleshooting
Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically
Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/activecampaign-automation, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all.
Solution: Re-open metadata.json, ORIGIN.md, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Check the external_source block first, then restate the provenance before continuing.
Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review
Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated SKILL.md, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task.
Solution: Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it.
Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization
Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better.
Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.

Imported: Common Patterns
Contact Lookup Flow
1. Call ACTIVE_CAMPAIGN_FIND_CONTACT with email
2. If found, extract contact ID for subsequent operations
3. If not found, create contact with ACTIVE_CAMPAIGN_CREATE_CONTACT
4. Use contact ID for tags, subscriptions, or automations
Bulk Contact Tagging
1. For each contact, call ACTIVE_CAMPAIGN_MANAGE_CONTACT_TAG
2. Use contact_email to avoid separate lookup calls
3. Batch with reasonable delays to respect rate limits
ID Resolution
Contact email -> Contact ID:
1. Call ACTIVE_CAMPAIGN_FIND_CONTACT with email
2. Extract id from the response
