How to Send SureCart Orders to Zoho Desk
Zoho Desk is a helpdesk platform. SureCart processes a checkout or order is completed beautifully, but sending that data to external platforms needs an integration. AFI bridges that gap to Zoho Desk.
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 SureCart installed and configured.
- A Zoho Desk account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect Zoho Desk to AFI
Zoho Desk uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → Zoho Desk, 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 SureCart to Zoho Desk.
2. Pick your trigger
Select SureCart as the form provider. AFI fires when a checkout or order is completed, giving you access to customer details, product information, and order totals.
3. Select Zoho Desk as the destination
Choose Zoho Desk from the platform dropdown and pick Add Ticket. This creates a ticket in Zoho Desk.
4. Map fields
Match each Zoho Desk field on the left to the corresponding SureCart 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 orders? Set up a conditional rule based on any field value.
6. Save and test
Click Save Integration. Place a test order in your SureCart store. Check Zoho Desk 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 subject, description, email, and name to Zoho Desk with unlimited orders. Pro adds custom field mapping and department selection. No per-order fees on any plan.
