Setting up the integration
1. Create a new integration
Go to AFI → Add New. Name it LifterLMS to Sendlane.

Match each Sendlane 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 Sendlane to confirm the data arrived. If anything looks wrong, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.
