How to Send FormCraft Submissions to Events Manager
Events Manager is a event management platform. If you want FormCraft submissions in Events Manager, you could pay for a cloud automation service. Or you could do it directly from WordPress. This is the direct route.
Why not just use Zapier?
For connecting FormCraft to event management, a cloud automation service adds cost and a dependency on an external server. AFI runs on your site with no task limits.
What you will need
- A WordPress site with FormCraft installed and at least one form.
- A Events Manager account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect Events Manager to AFI
Events Manager uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → Events Manager, click Authorize and grant access. This is a one-time step.
Setting up the integration
1. Create a new integration
Go to AFI → Add New. Name it FormCraft to Events Manager.
2. Pick your trigger
Select FormCraft as the form provider and choose the form you want to connect. AFI detects the fields automatically.
3. Select Events Manager as the destination
Choose Events Manager from the platform dropdown and pick Add Event. This creates an event in Events Manager.
4. Map fields
Match each Events Manager field on the left to the corresponding FormCraft 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 FormCraft form and submit. Check Events Manager 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 title, date, and description to Events Manager with unlimited submissions. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-submission fees on any plan.
Frequently asked questions
