Campaign Monitor
Overview
The Advanced Form Integration (AFI) plugin allows you to connect your WordPress forms to Campaign Monitor, enabling you to automatically add or update subscribers on your Campaign Monitor email lists. You can map basic fields like name and email, and with AFI Pro, you can also handle custom fields.
This is ideal for growing and segmenting your email audience directly from form submissions on your website.

Troubleshooting
After the integration is made, when users fill up the form and submit it, the plugin initiates the process of sending data to the configured platform. It also saves a log that includes what data it tried to send, and what it got in response from that platform. So if you find an integration is not working, your first task is to check the logs. Go to AFI > Log menu and check the recent logs.
