How to Send WPForms Submissions to Mailshake
Mailshake is a email outreach platform for managing subscribers and campaigns. WPForms lets you build forms in minutes, but sending submissions to external platforms needs an integration. AFI bridges that gap to Mailshake. Here is the full setup.
Why connect directly?
Cloud automation tools like Zapier charge per task and route your data through external servers. AFI processes everything on your WordPress site. No per-submission fees, no external dependencies.
What you will need
- A WordPress site with WPForms installed and at least one form.
- A Mailshake account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect Mailshake to AFI
- Log in to your Mailshake account.
- Go to Settings → API and generate an API Key.
- In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Mailshake.
- Paste the API Key and click Save Changes.
Setting up the integration
1. Create a new integration
Go to AFI → Add New. Name it WPForms to Mailshake.
2. Pick your trigger
Select WPForms as the form provider and choose the form you want to connect. AFI detects the fields automatically.
3. Select Mailshake as the destination
Choose Mailshake from the platform dropdown and pick Add Lead. This adds a lead to a Mailshake campaign.
4. Map fields
Match each Mailshake field on the left to the corresponding WPForms field on the right. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}} and {{utm_source}}.
5. Add conditions if needed
Only want to send certain submissions? Set up a conditional rule based on any form field value.
6. Save and test
Click Save Integration. Fill out your WPForms form and submit. Check Mailshake to confirm the data arrived. If anything looks wrong, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.
Free vs Pro
The free version maps email, first name, and last name to Mailshake with unlimited submissions. Pro adds custom field mapping and campaign selection. No per-submission fees on any plan.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need coding skills?
No. Everything is configured through a visual interface, including field mapping.
Will adding this slow down my form?
No. AFI sends data to the destination after the form submission completes. Your visitors see the normal confirmation message without any delay.
Can I connect multiple WPForms?
Yes. Create a separate integration for each form, or send one form to multiple platforms.
