How to Send Easy Digital Downloads Orders to Microsoft Teams
Microsoft Teams is a messaging platform. Purchase events can trigger instant notifications. Here is how to pipe Easy Digital Downloads order data straight into Microsoft Teams using Advanced Form Integration. The setup takes about five minutes and runs entirely on your own server.
The direct approach
AFI delivers order data straight from WordPress to Microsoft Teams. 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 Microsoft Teams account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect Microsoft Teams to AFI
Microsoft Teams uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → Microsoft Teams, click Authorize and grant access. This is a one-time step.
Setting up the integration
1. Create a new integration
Go to AFI → Add New. Name it Easy Digital Downloads to Microsoft Teams.
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 Microsoft Teams as the destination
Choose Microsoft Teams from the platform dropdown and pick Send Message. This sends a message to a Microsoft Teams channel.
4. Map fields
Match each Microsoft Teams 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 Microsoft Teams 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 message text to Microsoft Teams with unlimited orders. Pro adds channel selection via webhook. No per-order fees on any plan.
