How to Send BuddyBoss Data to Softr
Softr is a no-code apps platform. If you want BuddyBoss activity in Softr, you could pay for a cloud automation service. Or you could do it directly from WordPress. This is the direct route.
Why not just use Zapier?
For connecting your community platform to no-code apps, 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 Softr account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect Softr to AFI
- Log in to your Softr account.
- Copy your API Key and Domain.
- In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Softr.
- Enter the credentials and click Save.
Setting up the integration
1. Create a new integration
Go to AFI → Add New. Name it BuddyBoss to Softr.
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 Softr as the destination
Choose Softr from the platform dropdown and pick Add User. This creates a user in Softr.
4. Map fields
Match each Softr 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 Softr 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 Softr with unlimited events. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-event fees on any plan.
