Restrict password usage

There is no usage restriction on passwords generated by ActiveCampaign extension by default.

You can auto-expire these passwords after a period of time or number of clicks by defining the following constants under wp-config.php.

define( 'PPWP_PWD_EXPIRY', 3 ); // days
define( 'PPWP_PWD_LIMIT', 2 ); // times of usage
A setting option will be provided in the upcoming version of our extension. These constants if defined will override the setting options.

Once the set up is done, you should either create a standard ActiveCampaign campaign or automation and then integrate them with our PPWP Pro.
