How to Send BuddyPress Data to BigMarker

BigMarker is a webinar platform for hosting online events and sessions. BuddyPress powers your WordPress community. BigMarker is where member data needs to go. Here is how to connect them without Zapier or code.

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-registration fees, no external dependencies.

What you will need

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

Connect BigMarker to AFI

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

2. Pick your trigger

Select BuddyPress 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 BigMarker as the destination

Choose BigMarker from the platform dropdown and pick Register for Webinar. This registers a contact for a BigMarker webinar.

4. Map fields

Match each BigMarker field on the left to the corresponding BuddyPress 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 BuddyPress. Check BigMarker 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 BigMarker with unlimited events. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-event fees on any plan.

Frequently asked questions

Which BuddyPress 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.
