How to Query ActiveCampaign Data in MySQL Workbench

You can use the SQL Gateway from the ODBC Driver for ActiveCampaign to query ActiveCampaign data through a MySQL interface. Follow the procedure below to start the MySQL remoting service of the SQL Gateway and work with live ActiveCampaign data in MySQL Workbench.

Connect to ActiveCampaign Data

If you have not already done so, provide values for the required connection properties in the data source name (DSN). You can use the built-in Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to configure the DSN. This is also the last step of the driver installation. See the "Getting Started" chapter in the help documentation for a guide to using the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure a DSN.

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.

Configure the SQL Gateway

See the SQL Gateway Overview to set up connectivity to ActiveCampaign data as a virtual MySQL database. You will configure a MySQL remoting service that listens for MySQL requests from clients. The service can be configured in the SQL Gateway UI.
