How to Send WooCommerce Orders to Cakemail

Cakemail is a email marketing platform for managing subscribers and campaigns. Getting WooCommerce order data into Cakemail does not require external tools. Advanced Form Integration handles it natively, and this guide covers every step.

The direct approach

AFI delivers order data straight from WordPress to Cakemail. No third-party cloud, no per-task fees, and every request is logged for troubleshooting.

What you will need

• A WordPress site with WooCommerce installed and configured.
• A Cakemail account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect Cakemail to AFI

1. Log in to your Cakemail account.
2. Go to Settings → API and copy your API Key.
3. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Cakemail.
4. Paste the API Key and click Save Changes.

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

Go to AFI → Add New. Name it WooCommerce to Cakemail.

2. Pick your trigger

Select WooCommerce as the form provider. AFI fires when an order status changes, giving you access to customer details, billing and shipping addresses, line items, totals, and payment method.

3. Select Cakemail as the destination

Choose Cakemail from the platform dropdown and pick Add Contact. This adds a contact to a Cakemail list.

4. Map fields

Match each Cakemail field on the left to the corresponding WooCommerce order field on the right. Common mappings include customer name, email, phone, billing address, order total, and product details. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}}.

5. Add conditions if needed

Only want to send certain orders? Set up a conditional rule. For example, only sync orders above a specific total, or only completed orders.

6. Save and test

Click Save Integration. Place a test order in your WooCommerce store. Check Cakemail 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 and name to Cakemail with unlimited orders. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-order fees on any plan.

Frequently asked questions

Which WooCommerce events trigger the integration?

AFI fires when an order status changes (for example, pending to processing, or processing to completed). This covers new orders, successful payments, refunds, and cancellations.

Will adding this slow down my checkout?

No. AFI sends data to the destination after the order is processed. Your customers complete checkout normally without any delay.

Can I send orders to multiple platforms?

Yes. Create a separate integration for each destination, and every order flows to all of them simultaneously.
