How to Send LearnDash Enrollments to DirectIQ
DirectIQ is a email marketing platform for managing subscribers and campaigns. If you want LearnDash data in DirectIQ, you could pay for a cloud automation service. Or you could do it directly from WordPress. This is the direct route.

What you will need
- A WordPress site with LearnDash installed and at least one course.
- A DirectIQ account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect DirectIQ to AFI

Setting up the integration
1. Create a new integration
Go to AFI → Add New. Name it LearnDash to DirectIQ.
2. Pick your trigger
Select LearnDash as the form provider. AFI fires when a student enrolls in a course or completes a lesson, giving you access to student details, course information, and enrollment data.
3. Select DirectIQ as the destination
Choose DirectIQ from the platform dropdown and pick Add Subscriber. This adds a subscriber to DirectIQ.
4. Map fields
Match each DirectIQ field on the left to the corresponding LearnDash field on the right. Common mappings include student name, email, course title, and enrollment date. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}}.
5. Add conditions if needed
Only want to send certain enrollments? Set up a conditional rule based on any field value.
6. Save and test
Click Save Integration. Complete a test enrollment in LearnDash. Check DirectIQ 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 DirectIQ with unlimited enrollments. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-enrollment fees on any plan.
