How to Send WP Event Manager Data to Maropost
Maropost is a marketing automation platform. Here is how to pipe WP Event Manager event straight into Maropost 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 marketing automation. No task meter, no monthly bill.
What you will need
- A WordPress site with WP Event Manager installed and configured.
- A Maropost account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect Maropost to AFI
- Log in to your Maropost account.
- Copy your Account ID and API Token.
- In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Maropost.
- Enter the credentials and click Save.
Setting up the integration
1. Create a new integration
Go to AFI → Add New. Name it WP Event Manager to Maropost.
2. Pick your trigger
Select WP Event Manager as the form provider. AFI fires when an event is submitted or a registration is received, giving you access to organizer name, email, event title, event date, venue, and ticket type.
3. Select Maropost as the destination
Choose Maropost from the platform dropdown and pick Add Contact. This adds a contact to Maropost.
4. Map fields
Match each Maropost field on the left to the corresponding WP Event Manager field on the right. Common mappings include organizer name, email, event title, event date, venue, and ticket type. 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 WP Event Manager. Check Maropost 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, first name, and last name to Maropost with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-record fees on any plan.
