AFI
Nextend Social Login and Register
Nextend Social Login and Register lets visitors sign up and log in to WordPress with Facebook, Google, X, and other social providers. Advanced Form Integration captures new social registrations and routes the data to any of 200+ destinations.
What you’ll need
- The Nextend Social Login plugin installed and activated.
- At least one social provider configured and enabled.
- Anyone can register enabled in Settings → General, or registration allowed through Nextend’s own settings.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin installed and activated.
When the trigger fires
AFI registers a single New User Registered (via Social Login) trigger for Nextend Social Login. It fires when a brand new WordPress account is created through a social provider.

How AFI listens for registrations
AFI hooks nsl_register_new_user, fired from registerComplete() in includes/user.php and listed in Nextend’s own developer hooks documentation. By the time it runs, the method has already bailed out on any error, so the user ID is a real account. AFI deliberately does not use the sibling nsl_login hook, which fires on every returning social login as well and would re-dispatch the same person as a new lead on each visit. Registration is guarded by class_exists( 'NextendSocialLogin' ).
First and last name availability
Whether a name arrives depends on what the provider returns and on which scopes you requested. Google usually supplies both; some providers supply only a display name. Map Display Name as a fallback.
Troubleshooting
Returning users do not fire
That is intentional. This trigger is scoped to genuinely new registrations so your CRM is not flooded with duplicates on every login.
Accounts linked to an existing email do not fire
When Nextend links a social profile to an existing WordPress account rather than creating one, no new registration happens, so the hook does not run.
