How to Send LearnDash Enrollments to MailPoet

MailPoet is a email marketing platform for managing subscribers and campaigns. LearnDash handles a student enrolls in a course or completes a lesson on your WordPress site. MailPoet is where that data needs to go. Here is how to connect them without Zapier or code.

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-enrollment fees, no external dependencies.

What you will need

• A WordPress site with LearnDash installed and at least one course.
• A MailPoet account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect MailPoet to AFI

1. MailPoet runs inside WordPress, so no external API key is needed.
2. Make sure the MailPoet plugin is installed and activated.
3. In AFI, select MailPoet as the action platform.
4. Choose a list and map your fields.

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

Go to AFI → Add New. Name it LearnDash to MailPoet.

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 MailPoet as the destination

Choose MailPoet from the platform dropdown and pick Subscribe To List. This subscribes a contact to a MailPoet list.

4. Map fields

Match each MailPoet 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 MailPoet 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, first name, and last name to MailPoet with unlimited enrollments. Pro adds custom subscriber field mapping. No per-enrollment fees on any plan.

Frequently asked questions

Which LearnDash events trigger the integration?

AFI fires when a student enrolls in a course or completes a lesson. This covers new enrollments, course completions, and student registrations.

Will adding this slow down my site?

No. AFI sends data to the destination after the enrollment event completes. Your students are not affected.

Can I send enrollments to multiple platforms?

Yes. Create a separate integration for each destination, and every enrollment flows to all of them simultaneously.
