How to find a custom field ID

Each custom contact, account, and deal field created within ActiveCampaign is assigned a unique field ID number. This article explains how to find custom contact and account field IDs in ActiveCampaign, and clarifies that Deal field IDs can only be retrieved via API.

Take note

• Deal field IDs can only be retrieved via API. Learn more about API and here is a list of available API methods.
• If you need assistance configuring something using the API, we recommend working with one of our certified consultants or posting in our community forum.
• You can also retrieve a full list of custom fields and their IDs by using ActiveCampaign’s API for Developers.

Find a custom contact or account field ID

You can use ActiveCampaign’s Form editor to locate a custom contact or custom account field ID. To find the ID, follow the steps below:

1. Click Website > Forms on the left menu.
2. Click the Create new form button.
3. Create a form to use for identifying custom field IDs. Learn how to create a form in ActiveCampaign.
4. In the form builder, select the Fields tab from the menu to the right.
5. Choose the field category that your specific field is in, then click it to expand it.
6. Locate the custom field whose ID you wish to find and drag it to your form.
7. Click the blue Integrate button in the upper right corner.
8. Review the code in the Full Embed field and locate the name of your custom field.
9. Review the string of code under your custom field’s name and find the custom field’s ID.

In the example below, we see that the field ID for the custom contact field, "Webinar Date," is ‘46.’

In another example, we can see that the field ID for the custom account field, "Company Webinar Date," is ‘13.’
