EngageBay is a CRM that helps you manage contacts and track interactions. Getting Easy Digital Downloads order data into EngageBay 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 EngageBay. No third-party cloud, no per-task fees, and every request is logged for troubleshooting.

What you will need

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

Connect EngageBay to AFI

  1. Log in to your EngageBay account.
  2. Go to Settings → API and copy your API Key.
  3. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → EngageBay.
  4. Enter the API Key, email, and name, then click Save.

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

Go to AFI → Add New. Name it Easy Digital Downloads to EngageBay.

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 EngageBay as the destination

Choose EngageBay from the platform dropdown and pick Create Contact. This creates a contact in EngageBay.

4. Map fields

Match each EngageBay field on the left to the corresponding Easy Digital Downloads field on the right. Common mappings include customer name, email, product details, and order total. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}}.

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 EngageBay 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 name, email, and phone to EngageBay with unlimited orders. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-order fees on any plan.
