How to Send ARForms Data to Cakemail

Cakemail is a email marketing platform for managing subscribers and campaigns. Getting ARForms submission into Cakemail does not require external tools. Advanced Form Integration handles it natively, and this guide covers every step.

The direct approach

AFI delivers submission data straight from WordPress to Cakemail. No third-party cloud, no per-task fees, and every request is logged for troubleshooting.

What you will need

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

Connect Cakemail to AFI

1. Log in to your Cakemail account.
2. Go to Settings → API and copy your API Key.
3. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Cakemail.
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 ARForms to Cakemail.

2. Pick your trigger

Select ARForms as the form provider. AFI fires when a form is submitted, giving you access to submitter name, email, phone, and any custom form fields.

3. Select Cakemail as the destination

Choose Cakemail from the platform dropdown and pick Add Contact. This adds a contact to a Cakemail list.

4. Map fields

Match each Cakemail field on the left to the corresponding ARForms field on the right. Common mappings include submitter name, email, phone, and any custom form 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 ARForms. Check Cakemail 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 and name to Cakemail with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-record fees on any plan.
