AFI
Podio
Podio is a project management platform. Advanced Form Integration sends form submissions to Podio, so every form entry on your WordPress site can create or update records automatically without manual data entry.
What you’ll need
- An active Podio account.
- A Podio OAuth2 app (see below).
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin installed and activated.
Create a Podio OAuth2 app
Podio uses OAuth2 for API access. You need to register an app to get a Client ID and Client Secret.
- Sign in to the Podio developer portal and create a new OAuth2 application.
- Copy the Redirect URI shown in the AFI Podio settings tab and paste it into the app’s allowed redirect URIs.
- Note the Client ID and Client Secret.
- Paste them in AFI → Settings → Podio and click Save & Authorize. After consent, AFI stores the token and refreshes it automatically.
Create the integration
- Go to AFI → Add New.
- Give the integration a name, for example
Form to Podio. - Under Trigger, pick the form plugin and the specific form you want to listen on.
- Under Action → Platform, select Podio.
- In Task, choose Create Item.
- Pick the saved account in the Podio Account dropdown.
- Map your form fields onto the Podio fields listed below.
- Optional: open Conditional Logic to limit which submissions are sent.
- Click Save Integration.

Pro features
The Pro integration extends the free base with additional field mapping, custom field support, and other enhancements. Pro uses the same connection and tasks as the free version, so your existing integrations keep working.

Conditional logic example
Only send data to Podio when the form’s email field is not empty, so test submissions or incomplete entries do not create records. Add a condition: Email is not empty.
Troubleshooting
Nothing arrives in Podio
Open AFI → Log and find the most recent entry for this integration. AFI stores the request it sent and the raw response it got back. If there is no log entry at all, the trigger never fired: re-check the form selection and submit a real test entry from the front end.
Connection lost
The OAuth2 token may have expired or been revoked. Return to AFI → Settings → Podio and click Re-authorize to refresh the connection.
