Diagnosis

The problem

ActiveCampaign holds a marketing and behavior view; Holded holds the fiscal and commercial reality. Without integrating them: campaigns sent to non-paying customers, offers sent to customers who have already paid their monthly fee, and segments based on behavior that ignore the real value generated.

Proposal

The solution

ActiveCampaign is the favorite marketing automation engine for B2B SaaS and professional services. Integrating it with Holded lets you segment contacts by real value (not just opens and clicks), trigger flows based on billing events, and keep a unified view of customer to marketing to sales to invoicing.

Scope

What we automate

  • New customer in Holded to a contact in ActiveCampaign with enriched tags and custom fields
  • Paid invoice to an event that triggers a post-sale nurture flow
  • Overdue invoice past X days to the contact being removed from active campaigns
  • LTV calculated and reflected in ActiveCampaign for value-based segmentation
  • Deal won in ActiveCampaign to an estimate created in Holded
  • Holded subscription cancellation to a retention flow in ActiveCampaign
Architecture

How we build it

ActiveCampaign REST API v3 with Bearer token. Holded API v2. Custom fields and tags in ActiveCampaign to map commercial data. Custom Holded events (invoice_paid, invoice_overdue) as automation triggers. Bidirectional sync by timestamp.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What kind of company is this a fit for?

B2B SaaS with a long sales cycle, professional services (agencies, consultancies) and training with serious marketing automation. If you only send the occasional newsletter, MailerLite or Mailchimp fit better without the overkill.

Which ActiveCampaign plan do I need?

API and custom fields are available from Plus. For complex automations and deep data, Professional. The free trial covers development and testing.

What about ActiveCampaign's native CRM?

If you use it, we respect it as a marketing layer. Holded remains the commercial source of truth (signed deals, invoices). The AC CRM can act as the marketing-qualified pipeline, with Holded as sales-qualified from there on.

How does it compare to Klaviyo?

Different markets. Klaviyo shines in DTC ecommerce. ActiveCampaign in B2B SaaS and services. If your case is B2B services, ActiveCampaign. If it is DTC, Klaviyo.
