How to Send BuddyBoss Data to Instantly

Instantly is a cold email platform for managing subscribers and campaigns. BuddyBoss manages a member registers, updates their profile, or joins a group, but sending that data to external platforms needs an integration. AFI bridges that gap to Instantly.

Why not just use Zapier?

For connecting your community platform to cold email, a cloud automation service adds cost and a dependency on an external server. AFI runs on your site with no task limits.

What you will need

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

Connect Instantly to AFI

1. Log in to your Instantly account.
2. Copy your API Key from settings.
3. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Instantly.
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 BuddyBoss to Instantly.

2. Pick your trigger

Select BuddyBoss as the form provider. AFI fires when a member registers, updates their profile, or joins a group, giving you access to member details, profile fields, and activity data.

3. Select Instantly as the destination

Choose Instantly from the platform dropdown and pick Add Lead. This adds a lead to Instantly.

4. Map fields

Match each Instantly field on the left to the corresponding BuddyBoss 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 member registers, updates their profile, or joins a group in BuddyBoss. Check Instantly 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 Instantly with unlimited events. Pro adds custom field mapping and campaign selection. No per-event fees on any plan.

Frequently asked questions

Which BuddyBoss events trigger the integration?

AFI fires when a member registers, updates their profile, or joins a group. 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.
