How to Send weForms Data to The Events Calendar
The Events Calendar is a event management platform. Getting weForms submission into The Events Calendar does not require external tools. Advanced Form Integration handles it natively, and this guide covers every step.
The direct approach
AFI delivers submission data straight from WordPress to The Events Calendar. 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 The Events Calendar account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect The Events Calendar to AFI
The Events Calendar uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → The Events Calendar, 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 The Events Calendar.
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 The Events Calendar as the destination
Choose The Events Calendar from the platform dropdown and pick Add Event. This creates an event in The Events Calendar.
4. Map fields
Match each The Events Calendar 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 The Events Calendar 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 title, date, and description to The Events Calendar with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-record fees on any plan.
