== How to Unarchive Your ActiveCampaign Account ==

ActiveCampaign accounts may be archived due to cancellations or expiration. Unarchiving your account is crucial if you wish to regain access to your data and settings. This article will guide you through the procedure of unarchiving your ActiveCampaign account, which will allow you to reactivate your services and start using the platform again.

== Introduction ==

When an ActiveCampaign account becomes inactive, it may be archived. This means that it is temporarily suspended, and as a result, the account holder loses access to its features. Unarchiving your account is a significant step to consider if you plan to resume your marketing efforts. Not only do you regain access, but you also maintain your historical data if the account has been archived for less than one year. Understanding how to successfully unarchive your account is essential for maintaining continuity in your email marketing and automations.

== How to Access This Feature ==

The unarchiving process can be initiated through the ActiveCampaign login portal. It is important to note that only the '''Primary Admin''' of the account has the authority to unarchive the account. Ensure that you take into account the duration for which the account has been archived to follow the appropriate steps.

== Step-by-Step Instructions ==

Follow these detailed instructions to unarchive your ActiveCampaign account:

=== Accounts Archived for Less Than One Year ===

If your account has been archived for less than one year, you can reactivate it by performing the following steps:

# Navigate to www.activecampaign.com and click on the '''Login''' button located at the top of the page.
# Input your ActiveCampaign account name and press the '''Login''' button.
# Following successful login, select your plan by clicking either '''Reactivate''' or '''Upgrade'''. Note that selecting '''Request Pricing''' will not restore your account but is available for those who may want a customized plan.
# On the subsequent page, enter your billing information and click on the '''Complete purchase''' button.
# After your payment is processed, the unarchive process will begin. The '''Primary Admin''' will receive the following emails:
   * A receipt of payment.
   * A confirmation email indicating that the unarchive process has commenced.
   * A final confirmation email once the account is ready, along with a link for logging in.

=== Accounts Archived for More Than One Year ===

Please be aware that accounts archived for over one year are not eligible for unarchiving, as they do not retain data beyond this duration. To access ActiveCampaign's services again, you will need to register for a new account. 

You will see a message indicating this if you attempt to log into an account that has been archived for more than one year.

== Configuration Options and Settings ==

- Only the '''Primary Admin''' of the account can perform the unarchive action.
- Once your account is archived, it cannot be recovered; thus, your account name, username, and password are lost. If necessary, contacting the Customer Experience team is suggested for email reset.
- The '''Forgot Password''' option will not be available once the account is archived, further emphasizing the need for proper management of account credentials.

== Best Practices and Tips ==

- Regularly monitor your account status to avoid accidental archiving. Ensure that billing information is up to date.
- If you anticipate temporary inactivity, consider downgrading your plan instead of canceling it to preserve your data.
- Set reminders to check account health and maintain active usage periodically.

== Troubleshooting ==

If you experience issues while attempting to unarchive your account, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

- Ensure that you're utilizing the correct login credentials associated with the account.
- Confirm that you are logged in as the '''Primary Admin''', as only they have permission to unarchive the account.
- Check for any correspondence from ActiveCampaign in your email that may have additional information regarding your account status.
- If problems persist, reach out to the Customer Experience team for further assistance.
