How to Send LifterLMS Enrollments to Big Purple Dot
Big Purple Dot is a CRM that helps you manage contacts and track interactions. Getting LifterLMS enrollment data into Big Purple Dot does not require external tools. Advanced Form Integration handles it natively, and this guide covers every step.
Skip the automation middleman
Rather than routing data through a third-party cloud, AFI sends it directly from your WordPress server to CRM. No task meter, no monthly bill.
What you will need
- A WordPress site with LifterLMS installed and at least one course.
- A Big Purple Dot account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect Big Purple Dot to AFI
Big Purple Dot uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → Big Purple Dot, 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 LifterLMS to Big Purple Dot.
2. Pick your trigger
Select LifterLMS as the form provider. AFI fires when a student enrolls in a course or purchases a membership, giving you access to student details, course information, and enrollment data.
3. Select Big Purple Dot as the destination
Choose Big Purple Dot from the platform dropdown and pick Add Lead. This creates a lead in Big Purple Dot.
4. Map fields
Match each Big Purple Dot field on the left to the corresponding LifterLMS 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 LifterLMS. Check Big Purple Dot 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 name, email, and phone to Big Purple Dot with unlimited enrollments. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-enrollment fees on any plan.
