How to Send ARForms Data to SharpSpring

SharpSpring is a marketing automation platform. ARForms manages a form is submitted, but sending that data to external platforms needs an integration. AFI bridges that gap to SharpSpring.

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-submission fees, no external dependencies.

What you will need

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

Connect SharpSpring to AFI

1. Log in to your SharpSpring account.
2. Go to Settings → API and copy your API Key and Secret.
3. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → SharpSpring.
4. Enter the API Key and Secret, then click Save.

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

Go to AFI → Add New. Name it ARForms to SharpSpring.

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 SharpSpring as the destination

Choose SharpSpring from the platform dropdown and pick Add Lead. This creates or updates a lead in SharpSpring.

4. Map fields

Match each SharpSpring 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 SharpSpring 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, first name, and last name to SharpSpring with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping and campaign assignment. No per-record fees on any plan.
