How to Send Quform Submissions to Cakemail

Cakemail is a email marketing platform for managing subscribers and campaigns. Quform makes it easy to build WordPress forms. Cakemail is where that data needs to go. Here is how to connect them without Zapier or code.

Why not just use Zapier?

For connecting your forms 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 Quform installed and at least one form.
• A Cakemail account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect Cakemail to AFI

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

2. Pick your trigger

Select Quform as the form provider and choose the form you want to connect. AFI detects the fields automatically.

3. Select Cakemail as the destination

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

4. Map fields

Match each Cakemail field on the left to the corresponding Quform field on the right. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}} and {{utm_source}}.

5. Add conditions if needed

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

6. Save and test

Click Save Integration. Fill out your Quform form and submit. Check Cakemail 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 Cakemail with unlimited submissions. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-submission fees on any plan.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need coding skills?

No. Everything is configured through a visual interface, including field mapping.

Will adding this slow down my form?

No. AFI sends data to the destination after the form submission completes. Your visitors see the normal confirmation message without any delay.

Can I connect multiple forms?

Yes. Create a separate integration for each form, or send one form to multiple platforms.
