How to Send weForms Data to dotdigital

dotdigital is a marketing automation platform. Every weForms submission record should flow into dotdigital automatically. This guide shows how to set that up in five minutes.

The direct approach

AFI delivers submission data straight from WordPress to dotdigital. No third-party cloud, no per-task fees, and every request is logged for troubleshooting.

What you will need

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

Connect dotdigital to AFI

1. Log in to your dotdigital account.
2. Go to Settings → API and copy your API User and Password.
3. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → dotdigital.
4. Enter the credentials and region, then click Save.

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

Go to AFI → Add New. Name it weForms to dotdigital.

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 dotdigital as the destination

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

4. Map fields

Match each dotdigital 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 dotdigital 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 dotdigital with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-record fees on any plan.
