Fluent Community
Fluent Community adds spaces, feeds, and courses to your WordPress site. When you connect it to Advanced Form Integration (AFI), community activity can trigger automations anywhere. You can add new space members to a Mailchimp list, log course enrollments in Google Sheets, or send new member details to your CRM for onboarding.
What You’ll Need
- The Fluent Community plugin installed and active
- Advanced Form Integration (free version is enough for this trigger)
- An account on the receiving platform, such as Google Sheets, Mailchimp, or a CRM
How to Create the Integration
- Go to AFI > Add New.
- AFI fills in a default Integration Title. Rename it to something recognizable, such as “Course Enrollments to Google Sheets”.
- In the Trigger section, select Fluent Community from the Form Provider dropdown. Fluent Community must be active on your site or the provider will not appear.
- In the Form/Task Name dropdown, choose the event, for example Course Enrollment.
- Under Action, select your receiver platform and connect your account.
- Map the Fluent Community fields to the receiver fields. For enrollments you would typically map User Email, User Display Name, and Course Title.
- Click Save Integration.
- Test by joining a space or enrolling a user in a course.
Available Events
- Space Created: fires when a new space is created in the community.
- Member Joined Space: fires when a user joins a space, whether they join themselves or are added by an admin.
- Feed Created: fires when a new post is published in a community feed.
- Course Enrollment: fires when a user is enrolled in a course.

Send Only Members of One Space
If you run several spaces but only want one of them synced to Mailchimp:
- Create an integration on the Member Joined Space event.
- Enable Conditional Logic.
- Set the condition to: Space Slug equals your-space-slug.
- Save the integration.
Only members joining that specific space are sent to your list.
Troubleshooting
Fluent Community is not in the dropdown
Confirm the Fluent Community plugin is active. AFI only lists providers whose plugin is running.
The integration is not firing
Check AFI > Log after a test action. If there is no entry, verify the integration is active and the right event is selected. Feed Created fires only for new posts, not edits.
Fields arrive blank
Fluent Community only sends values that exist. A member without a first name, or a space without a logo, will produce empty fields on the receiver. Map the JSON fields when you want the full raw data for debugging.
