Cal.com is a appointment scheduling platform. If you want Easy Digital Downloads purchases synced to Cal.com, you could pay for a cloud automation service. Or you could do it directly from WordPress. This is the direct route.

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-order fees, no external dependencies.

What you will need

  • A WordPress site with Easy Digital Downloads installed and configured.
  • A Cal.com account.
  • The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect Cal.com to AFI

  1. Log in to your Cal.com account.
  2. Go to Settings → API and copy your API Key.
  3. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Cal.com.
  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 Easy Digital Downloads to Cal.com.

2. Pick your trigger

Select Easy Digital Downloads as the form provider. AFI fires when a purchase is completed, giving you access to customer details, product information, payment data, and download links.

3. Select Cal.com as the destination

Choose Cal.com from the platform dropdown and pick Book Event. This creates a booking in Cal.com.

4. Map fields

5. Add conditions if needed

Only want to send certain purchases? Set up a conditional rule. For example, only sync completed payments or specific products.

6. Save and test

Click Save Integration. Place a test purchase in your Easy Digital Downloads store. Check Cal.com to confirm the data arrived. If anything looks wrong, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.

Free vs Pro
