How to Send Charitable Data to Woodpecker
Woodpecker is a platform platform. Here is how to pipe Charitable donation straight into Woodpecker using Advanced Form Integration. The setup takes about five minutes and runs entirely on your own server.
Skip the automation middleman
Rather than routing data through a third-party cloud, AFI sends it directly from your WordPress server to platform. No task meter, no monthly bill.
What you will need
- A WordPress site with Charitable installed and configured.
- A Woodpecker account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect Woodpecker to AFI
Woodpecker uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → Woodpecker, 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 Charitable to Woodpecker.
2. Pick your trigger
Select Charitable as the form provider. AFI fires when a donation is made through a fundraising campaign, giving you access to donor name, email, donation amount, campaign ID, and gateway.
3. Select Woodpecker as the destination
Choose Woodpecker from the platform dropdown and pick Add Record. This creates a record in Woodpecker.
4. Map fields
Match each Woodpecker field on the left to the corresponding Charitable field on the right. Common mappings include donor name, email, donation amount, campaign ID, and gateway. 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 Charitable. Check Woodpecker 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 and email to Woodpecker with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping. 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.
