Teachable

Estimated reading: 3 minutes Updated August 1, 2026

Teachable is a e-learning platform. Advanced Form Integration sends form submissions to Teachable, so every form entry on your WordPress site can create or update records automatically without manual data entry.

What you’ll need

  • An active Teachable account.
  • An API token from Teachable (see below).
  • The Advanced Form Integration plugin installed and activated.

Get your Teachable API token

Teachable authenticates with a bearer token.

  1. Sign in to your Teachable account.
  2. Open Settings → API or the developer/integrations section.
  3. Generate or copy your API Token (sometimes called a Personal Access Token).
  4. Paste it in AFI → Settings → Teachable.

Connect Teachable to AFI

  1. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings and open the Teachable tab.
  2. Click Add New Account and paste the API key or token.
  3. Give the account a name you will recognise.
  4. Click Save.

Create the integration

  1. Go to AFI → Add New.
  2. Give the integration a name, for example Form to Teachable.
  3. Under Trigger, pick the form plugin and the specific form you want to listen on.
  4. Under Action → Platform, select Teachable.
  5. In Task, choose Create User.
  6. Pick the saved account in the Teachable Account dropdown.
  7. Map your form fields onto the Teachable fields listed below.
  8. Optional: open Conditional Logic to limit which submissions are sent.
  9. Click Save Integration.

Tasks supported

Create User

Create User from the form submission.

Field Field key Required Notes
Email (required — used to look up or create the user email Yes
Name (used when creating a new user if email is not found name Yes
Course ID (required course_id No
Found Via (defaults to wordpress_form found_via No
Name (required name Yes
Email (required email Yes
Password (optional — leave blank to let Teachable send a signup email password No
Role (student / owner / admin — defaults to student role No

Conditional logic example

Only send data to Teachable when the form’s email field is not empty, so test submissions or incomplete entries do not create records. Add a condition: Email is not empty.

Troubleshooting

Nothing arrives in Teachable

Open AFI → Log and find the most recent entry for this integration. AFI stores the request it sent and the raw response it got back. If there is no log entry at all, the trigger never fired: re-check the form selection and submit a real test entry from the front end.

API key rejected

Copy the key directly from Teachable with no leading or trailing spaces. If the key was revoked or regenerated, update it in AFI → Settings → Teachable.
