Events Manager

Estimated reading: 2 minutes

Overview

AFI registers attendees for Events Manager, the WordPress events plugin, from form submissions on your site. Use it to capture event signups from any form on your site (not just the Events Manager template).

Supported actions

  • Register Attendee — books a seat on a specific event for a contact.

Authentication

  1. No API key — AFI writes directly to Events Manager on the same WordPress install.
  2. Confirm Events Manager is installed and activated.

How to create the integration

  1. In WordPress admin, go to AFI > New Integration.
  2. Pick your Sender (Contact Form 7, WPForms, WooCommerce, etc.) and the form / event to listen on.
  3. Pick Events Manager as the Receiver, then pick the Task you want to run.
  4. Map sender fields onto Events Manager’s fields. Event ID, attendee email + name are required.
  5. Optional: add Conditional Logic so the action only fires on matching submissions.
  6. Save and run a test submission. Check AFI > Log if anything looks off.

Notes & caveats

  • Capacity limits: Events Manager respects per-ticket capacity; once full, AFI calls fail with the capacity error.
  • Paid tickets: AFI’s free version supports free-ticket registrations. Paid tickets typically require checkout via the front-end form.
  • Multi-day events: pick the recurrence date if the event recurs.
