How to Send Ultimate Member Data to The Events Calendar
The Events Calendar is a event management platform. Ultimate Member handles a user registers or updates their profile on your WordPress site. The Events Calendar is where that data needs to go. Here is how to connect them without Zapier or code.
Why connect directly?
Cloud automation tools like Zapier charge per task and route your data through external servers. AFI processes everything on your WordPress site. No per-registration fees, no external dependencies.
What you will need
- A WordPress site with Ultimate Member installed and configured.
- A The Events Calendar account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect The Events Calendar to AFI
The Events Calendar uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → The Events Calendar, 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 Ultimate Member to The Events Calendar.
2. Pick your trigger
Select Ultimate Member as the form provider. AFI fires when a user registers or updates their profile, giving you access to user name, email, username, account type, and custom profile fields.
3. Select The Events Calendar as the destination
Choose The Events Calendar from the platform dropdown and pick Add Event. This creates an event in The Events Calendar.
4. Map fields
Match each The Events Calendar field on the left to the corresponding Ultimate Member field on the right. Common mappings include user name, email, username, account type, and custom profile fields. 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 Ultimate Member. Check The Events Calendar 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 The Events Calendar with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-record fees on any plan.
