How to Send bbPress Data to Jobber
Jobber is a field service management platform. Every bbPress a user creates a topic or replies in a forum should flow into Jobber automatically. This guide shows how to set that up in five minutes.
The direct approach
AFI delivers member and activity data straight from WordPress to Jobber. No third-party cloud, no per-task fees, and every request is logged for troubleshooting.
What you will need
- A WordPress site with bbPress installed and configured.
- A Jobber account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect Jobber to AFI
- Log in to your Jobber account.
- Go to Settings → API to get your API credentials.
- In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Jobber.
- Enter your credentials and authorize the connection.
Setting up the integration
1. Create a new integration
Go to AFI → Add New. Name it bbPress to Jobber.
2. Pick your trigger
Select bbPress as the form provider. AFI fires when a user creates a topic or replies in a forum, giving you access to member details, profile fields, and activity data.
3. Select Jobber as the destination
Choose Jobber from the platform dropdown and pick Create Client. This creates a client in Jobber.
4. Map fields
Match each Jobber field on the left to the corresponding bbPress field on the right. Common mappings include member name, email, profile data, and activity type. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}}.
5. Add conditions if needed
Only want to send certain activities? Set up a conditional rule based on any field value.
6. Save and test
Click Save Integration. Trigger a test a user creates a topic or replies in a forum in bbPress. Check Jobber 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 Jobber with unlimited events. Pro adds custom field mapping and address details. No per-event fees on any plan.
Frequently asked questions

AFI fires when a user creates a topic or replies in a forum. This covers member registrations, profile updates, and group joins.
Will adding this slow down my site?
No. AFI sends data to the destination after the community event completes. Your members are not affected.
Can I send member data to multiple platforms?
Yes. Create a separate integration for each destination, and every event flows to all of them simultaneously.
