How to Send GiveWP Data to Slack

Slack is a messaging platform. Events can trigger instant notifications. If you want GiveWP donation synced to Slack, you could pay for a cloud automation service. Or you could do it directly from WordPress. This is the direct route.

Why connect directly?

Cloud automation tools like Zapier charge per task and route your data through external servers. AFI processes everything on your WordPress site. No per-donation fees, no external dependencies.

What you will need

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

Connect Slack to AFI

Slack uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → Slack, 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 GiveWP to Slack.

2. Pick your trigger

Select GiveWP as the form provider. AFI fires when a donation is made, giving you access to donor name, email, donation amount, form ID, and payment method.

3. Select Slack as the destination

Choose Slack from the platform dropdown and pick Send Message. This sends a message to a Slack channel.

4. Map fields

Match each Slack field on the left to the corresponding GiveWP field on the right. Common mappings include donor name, email, donation amount, form ID, and payment method. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}}.

5. Add conditions if needed

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

6. Save and test

Click Save Integration. Trigger a test event in GiveWP. Check Slack 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 message text to Slack with unlimited records. Pro adds channel selection via webhook. No per-record fees on any plan.

Frequently asked questions

Will adding this slow down my site?

No. AFI sends data to the destination after the event completes. Your site performance is not affected.

Can I send data to multiple platforms?

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