How to Send Avada Forms Submissions to Cakemail
Cakemail is a email marketing platform for managing subscribers and campaigns. Getting Avada Forms submissions into Cakemail does not require external tools. Advanced Form Integration handles it natively, and this guide covers every step.
The direct approach
AFI delivers form 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 Avada Forms installed and at least one form.
- A Cakemail account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect Cakemail to AFI
- Log in to your Cakemail account.
- Go to Settings → API and copy your API Key.
- In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Cakemail.
- Paste the API Key and click Save Changes.
Setting up the integration
1. Create a new integration
Go to AFI → Add New. Name it Avada Forms to Cakemail.
2. Pick your trigger
Select Avada Forms as the form provider and choose the form you want to connect. AFI detects the fields automatically.
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 Avada Forms 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 Avada Forms form and submit. 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 submissions. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-submission fees on any plan.
Frequently asked questions
