How to Send weForms Data to Microsoft Dataverse
Microsoft Dataverse is a database platform. If you want weForms submission synced to Microsoft Dataverse, 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-submission fees, no external dependencies.
What you will need
- A WordPress site with weForms installed and configured.
- A Microsoft Dataverse account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect Microsoft Dataverse to AFI
Microsoft Dataverse uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → Microsoft Dataverse, 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 weForms to Microsoft Dataverse.
2. Pick your trigger
Select weForms as the form provider. AFI fires when a form is submitted, giving you access to submitter name, email, phone, and any custom form fields.
3. Select Microsoft Dataverse as the destination
Choose Microsoft Dataverse from the platform dropdown and pick Add Row. This creates a row in a Dataverse table.
4. Map fields
Match each Microsoft Dataverse field on the left to the corresponding weForms field on the right. Common mappings include submitter name, email, phone, and any custom form fields. 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 weForms. Check Microsoft Dataverse 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 standard table fields to Microsoft Dataverse with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping for all columns. No per-record fees on any plan.
