Tasks supported
Subscribe to List
Adds the form submitter as a contact on the chosen Emailchef list. Only mapped, non-empty values are sent. Unmapped fields are skipped silently.
Conditional logic example
Subscribe with Status = “active” only when the form’s confirmed checkbox is checked. Unconfirmed submissions go in with status “pending” via a separate integration.
Troubleshooting
Integration doesn’t fire
Open AFI → Log and find the most recent entry. The log shows the request payload sent to Emailchef and the response received, usually pointing straight at the cause.
“Invalid credentials”
Emailchef requires both Consumer Key AND Consumer Secret. If either is missing or rotated, the API returns 401. Regenerate both in Emailchef’s API page and re-save in AFI.
