Setting up the integration
1. Create a new integration
Go to AFI → Add New. Name it Paid Memberships Pro to Ontraport.

Match each Ontraport field on the left to the corresponding Paid Memberships Pro field on the right. Common mappings include member name, email, membership level, payment amount, and order ID. 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 Paid Memberships Pro. Check Ontraport 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 Ontraport with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-record fees on any plan.
