How to Send weForms Data to Zapier
Zapier is a automation platform. weForms manages a form is submitted, but sending that data to external platforms needs an integration. AFI bridges that gap to Zapier.
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 Zapier account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect Zapier to AFI
Zapier uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → Zapier, 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 Zapier.
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 Zapier as the destination
Choose Zapier from the platform dropdown and pick Send Webhook. This triggers a Zapier webhook.
4. Map fields
Match each Zapier 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 Zapier 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 any JSON payload to Zapier with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-record fees on any plan.
