Overview

AFI creates topics and replies in bbPress from WordPress form submissions. Use it to convert support enquiries into forum topics automatically, or to seed a forum from a CSV via inbound webhook.

Supported actions

  • Create Topic — open a new topic in a specific forum.
  • Create Reply — post a reply to an existing topic.

Authentication

  1. No API key — AFI writes directly to bbPress on the same WordPress install.
  2. Confirm bbPress is installed and activated.

How to create the integration

  1. In WordPress admin, go to AFI > New Integration.
  2. Pick your Sender (Contact Form 7, WPForms, WooCommerce, etc.) and the form / event to listen on.
  3. Pick bbPress as the Receiver, then pick the Task you want to run.
  4. Map sender fields onto bbPress’s fields. Forum ID, topic title, and content are required for a new topic. Author defaults to the form submitter (if logged in) or anonymous.
  5. Optional: add Conditional Logic so the action only fires on matching submissions.
  6. Save and run a test submission. Check AFI > Log if anything looks off.

Notes & caveats

  • Anonymous topics: enable Allow guest posting in bbPress settings if forms aren’t behind a login.
  • Sticky / category: set in bbPress after creation if needed — AFI creates standard topics by default.
  • Spam filters (Akismet etc.) can hold AFI-created topics for moderation; whitelist the bot user if you want them auto-published.
