How to Send BuddyBoss Data to Benchmark Email

Benchmark Email is a email marketing platform for managing subscribers and campaigns. BuddyBoss manages a member registers, updates their profile, or joins a group, but sending that data to external platforms needs an integration. AFI bridges that gap to Benchmark Email.

Why not just use Zapier?

For connecting your community platform to email marketing, a cloud automation service adds cost and a dependency on an external server. AFI runs on your site with no task limits.

What you will need

• A WordPress site with BuddyBoss installed and configured.
• A Benchmark Email account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect Benchmark Email to AFI

1. Log in to your Benchmark Email account.
2. Go to Settings → API and copy your API Key.
3. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Benchmark.
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 BuddyBoss to Benchmark Email.

2. Pick your trigger

Select BuddyBoss as the form provider. AFI fires when a member registers, updates their profile, or joins a group, giving you access to member details, profile fields, and activity data.

3. Select Benchmark Email as the destination

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

4. Map fields

Match each Benchmark Email field on the left to the corresponding BuddyBoss field on the right. Common mappings include member name, email, profile data, and activity type. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}}.

5. Add conditions if needed

Only want to send certain activities? Set up a conditional rule based on any field value.

6. Save and test

Click Save Integration. Trigger a test a member registers, updates their profile, or joins a group in BuddyBoss. Check Benchmark Email 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 Benchmark Email with unlimited events. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-event fees on any plan.

Frequently asked questions

Which BuddyBoss events trigger the integration?

Will adding this slow down my site?

No. AFI sends data to the destination after the community event completes. Your members are not affected.

Can I send member data to multiple platforms?

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