How to Send Easy Digital Downloads Orders to Flodesk

Flodesk is a email marketing platform for managing subscribers and campaigns. Getting Easy Digital Downloads order data into Flodesk 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 Flodesk. 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 Flodesk account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect Flodesk to AFI

1. Log in to your Flodesk account.
2. Go to Settings → Integrations → API and copy your API Key.
3. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Flodesk.
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 Flodesk.

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 Flodesk as the destination

Choose Flodesk from the platform dropdown and pick Add Subscriber. This adds a subscriber to a Flodesk segment.

4. Map fields

Match each Flodesk 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 Flodesk 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 Flodesk with unlimited orders. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-order fees on any plan.
