How to Send The Events Calendar Data to OpenPhone

OpenPhone is a phone system platform. Every The Events Calendar event record should flow into OpenPhone automatically. This guide shows how to set that up in five minutes.

Skip the automation middleman

Rather than routing data through a third-party cloud, AFI sends it directly from your WordPress server to phone system. No task meter, no monthly bill.

What you will need

• A WordPress site with The Events Calendar installed and configured.
• A OpenPhone account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect OpenPhone to AFI

1. Log in to your OpenPhone account.
2. Copy your API Key from settings.
3. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → OpenPhone.
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 OpenPhone.

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 OpenPhone as the destination

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

4. Map fields

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

Frequently asked questions

Will adding this slow down my site?

No. AFI sends data to the destination after the event completes. Your site performance is not affected.

Can I send data to multiple platforms?

Yes. Create a separate integration for each destination, and every record flows to all of them simultaneously.
