How to Send The Events Calendar Data to Gist

Gist is a CRM and live chat that helps you manage contacts and track interactions. Getting The Events Calendar event into Gist does not require external tools. Advanced Form Integration handles it natively, and this guide covers every step.

The direct approach

AFI delivers event data straight from WordPress to Gist. 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 Gist account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect Gist to AFI

1. Log in to your Gist account.
2. Go to Settings → API and copy your API Key.
3. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Gist.
4. Paste the API Key and click Save Changes.

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

Go to AFI → Add New. Name it The Events Calendar to Gist.

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 Gist as the destination

Choose Gist from the platform dropdown and pick Add Contact. This creates a contact in Gist.

4. Map fields

Match each Gist 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 Gist 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, name, and phone to Gist with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping and tags. No per-record fees on any plan.
