How it works

Three steps from widget to contact

QuickSum connects to ActiveCampaign using your own API credentials. Your contacts never pass through our servers.

01
βš™οΈ
Paste your AC credentials

Enter your ActiveCampaign API URL and API Key into separate fields in QuickSum's Global Settings. Click Test to verify in seconds.

02
🏷️
Choose tags and lists

QuickSum syncs your existing ActiveCampaign tags and lists. Pick which ones apply globally or per widget. Granular segmentation, zero manual work.

03
πŸ“¬
Contacts flow in automatically

A reader submits their email through your widget. They appear in ActiveCampaign within seconds, tagged and sorted exactly as you configured.

What you get

Everything ActiveCampaign users need

Built for bloggers and YouTube creators who are already serious about their email list.

πŸ”‘
Your key, your data

BYOK model. QuickSum never stores your subscribers. Every contact goes straight from the widget to your ActiveCampaign account.

🏷️
Tag per widget, per post

Apply different tags per widget so you know exactly which article or video captured each subscriber. No more guessing where leads came from.

⚑
Trigger automations instantly

Contacts land in ActiveCampaign tagged and ready. Any automation that fires on tag applied or list subscription starts immediately after submission.

πŸ“Š
AI summaries as the lead magnet

Readers exchange their email for an AI-generated summary of your article or video guide. Higher opt-in rates than a generic newsletter CTA.

πŸ”—
Affiliate links preserved

The summary email QuickSum sends includes your affiliate links from the original content. You capture the lead and keep the commission.

πŸ“±
Works on any CMS

One script tag. Works on WordPress, Ghost, Webflow, Squarespace, or any custom site. Embed it and forget it.

Who it's for

Built for content creators already using ActiveCampaign

If you publish content and you care about your email list, QuickSum is for you.

Bloggers
Convert readers without a lead magnet

Most blog readers leave without subscribing. QuickSum puts a value exchange on every post: the AI summary of that specific article in exchange for their email. No PDF to create, no landing page to build.

YouTubers
Capture subscribers from your companion pages

You drive traffic to a companion article with every video. QuickSum turns those pages into list-building machines, routing new contacts into the right ActiveCampaign list based on which video they came from.

Affiliate Marketers
Double the value of every reader

Capture the email and keep the affiliate click. QuickSum's summary emails preserve your links, so you earn from the content and grow the list at the same time.

FAQ

Common questions

Do I need to share my ActiveCampaign API key with QuickSum?

Yes, you paste your API URL and API Key into separate fields in your QuickSum dashboard. This is the BYOK (bring your own key) model. QuickSum uses your credentials to write contacts directly to your ActiveCampaign account. We never store subscriber data on our servers.

Which ActiveCampaign plan do I need?

Any paid ActiveCampaign plan includes API access. QuickSum uses standard API endpoints available on all plans.

Can I apply different tags per article or widget?

Yes. You set global tags in your domain settings and can override or add specific tags per widget in the Widget Builder. A subscriber from your review of Tool A gets tagged differently from one who came through your YouTube companion page.

Will new contacts trigger my ActiveCampaign automations?

Yes. QuickSum creates or updates the contact in ActiveCampaign and applies your chosen tags and list memberships. Any automation with a trigger based on tag applied or list subscription fires immediately.

What happens if a subscriber already exists in ActiveCampaign?

QuickSum checks for existing contacts first. If the email already exists, it updates the contact record and applies the new tags. No duplicate contacts.

How long does the initial connection take?

Most users are connected in under two minutes. You go to Settings in ActiveCampaign, copy your API URL and API Key, paste them into the separate fields in QuickSum, click Test, and you're done. The full setup guide walks through every step.
