How to Send LearnDash Enrollments to Vertical Response

Vertical Response is a email marketing platform for managing subscribers and campaigns. Getting LearnDash enrollment data into Vertical Response does not require external tools. Advanced Form Integration handles it natively, and this guide covers every step.

The direct approach

AFI delivers enrollment and course data straight from WordPress to Vertical Response. No third-party cloud, no per-task fees, and every request is logged for troubleshooting.

What you will need

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

Connect Vertical Response to AFI

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

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 Vertical Response as the destination

Choose Vertical Response from the platform dropdown and pick Add Contact. This adds a contact to a Vertical Response list.

4. Map fields

Match each Vertical Response 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 Vertical Response 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 Vertical Response with unlimited enrollments. Pro adds custom 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.
