How to Send The Events Calendar Data to Zoho CRM
Zoho CRM is a CRM that helps you manage contacts and track interactions. Every The Events Calendar event record should flow into Zoho CRM automatically. This guide shows how to set that up in five minutes.
The direct approach
AFI delivers event data straight from WordPress to Zoho CRM. 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 Zoho CRM account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect Zoho CRM to AFI
Zoho CRM uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → Zoho CRM, 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 Zoho CRM.
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 Zoho CRM as the destination
Choose Zoho CRM from the platform dropdown and pick Add Lead. This creates a lead in Zoho CRM.
4. Map fields
Match each Zoho CRM 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 Zoho CRM 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 Zoho CRM with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping and lead assignment. No per-record fees on any plan.
