How to Send The Events Calendar Data to Events Manager
Events Manager is a event management platform. Here is how to pipe The Events Calendar event straight into Events Manager using Advanced Form Integration. The setup takes about five minutes and runs entirely on your own server.
The direct approach
AFI delivers event data straight from WordPress to Events Manager. No third-party cloud, no per-task fees, and every request is logged for troubleshooting.
What you will need
- A WordPress site with The Events Calendar installed and configured.
- A Events Manager account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect Events Manager to AFI
Events Manager uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → Events Manager, 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 The Events Calendar to Events Manager.
2. Pick your trigger
Select The Events Calendar as the form provider. AFI fires when an event RSVP or ticket order is submitted, giving you access to attendee name, email, event title, event date, ticket type, and order total.
3. Select Events Manager as the destination
Choose Events Manager from the platform dropdown and pick Add Event. This creates an event in Events Manager.
4. Map fields
Match each Events Manager field on the left to the corresponding The Events Calendar field on the right. Common mappings include attendee name, email, event title, event date, ticket type, and order total. 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 The Events Calendar. Check Events Manager 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 Events Manager with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-record fees on any plan.
